| The sidehack we use for our adventures was once a Side Strider camera car used to film the Los Angeles marathon. We aquired the bare frame in the summer of 2010 and waited until we found the right bike. We used a 1994 Honda 650L dual purpose motorcycle for our rig. Once we had the bike, we started working on modifying the sidehack. We added a turn signal, grab rail with the proper support beams, strengthened the floor, CB radio, and two seats (one on the fender for right turns, and one in the middle for street use). While on the open road, the law states that the passenger must be firmly seated while the machine is in motion. Once we are in the dirt, the passenger or "monkey" stands up and is constantly moving and shifting their weight around in order to keep the sidecar on the ground. |
| Although it may not seem like the most practical mode of transportation, its small size and tight turning radius makes it the perfect vehicle to explore new territory with a friend. Everywhere we go, we are greeted with smiles and waves. Riding the sidehack provides a thrill that can not be compared to anthing else. |
| This is what gave me the sidecar bug. My father used to race sidecar motocross in the late 70's and early 80's. It was only a matter of time before he took me out into the hills in one of the street sidecars he owned throughout my childhood. I knew that someday I wanted a purpose built dual sport street legal sidehack of my own. |
