Sidecar Dave

#motorcycle #custom #Australia #sidecar Mock-up continues on MFP bike. Trying various seat ductail combinations. Started roughing in stripes on sidecar. The original 70's fairing that has been hanging on wall for decades will work well. Totally non Canon Mad Max bike but that's half the fun.

#motorcycle #custom #sidecar #Australia First mock-up has begun on another MFP Mad Max 1 project.. The theory is am working with is the bad bikes in MM1 are expolice or riding stolen police bikes. Thinking Jonny the Boy with this one. I have the correct fairing hanging on wall. 4th pic is Xj750D.

Motivation is wonderful. Got this Xj750D JDM only bike over a year ago. 21,000km from new. In last 2 days it now runs like a clock and have started minor panel repairs. Bike is visually identical to my Xj650 turbo which is on hysteric rego. I have spent a year scared to touch it in case I ruined it.

Morning. ☕️

#motorcycle #camping #Australia Great weekend away. I've been ill for last 18 months or so. Fantastic first trip out. Bike ran like a clock. Camp-fire cooked pork and jacket potatoes to universal acclaim. It was great to be back and catch up with mates. Thanks Warwick Ulysses club.

Been about a year since I've been in the shed. Motivation hit and 2 days later have Gsx1400 and sidecar at first mock-up using only bits in shed. Lost nearly 18 months from a bad tooth poisoning me. Brush your teeth people.

The Donald.

Epic ride across Australia on Honda CT110 motorcycles. Will and mates did 14 years ago. An hour well spent if you appreciate the fun of riding inappropriate motorcycles in places the designers never imagined. #motorcycle #australia #adventure #epichttps://youtu.be/06e54MeWkOo?si=7Moz8F5SsaB_82Dr

I decided to see how many pictures I had of weird bikes I have built over the last 40+ years. Software hit the limit at 100 with quite a few to go. Show me your builds.

Trump puts his name on everything but not the Torpedo. I wonder why?

I have cracked it. How an Orange thief and liar managed to fool a nation. I blame Dora the Explorer, they normalised Swiper a known villain and creature who steals and lies constantly and yet is accepted by a diverse range of communities.

#motorcycle #sidecar #toyrun Annual Ipswich Qld Toyrun about a thousand riders and passengers. Great time had by all. Thanks organisers.

#motorcycle #sidecar #lapz #Ipswich #hotrod Ipswich Queensland Australia has a tradition dating back at least 80 years of doing laps of the main streets on Friday and Saturday night. It has become an organised event in recent years. Took Grandaughter in for her Lapz. Getting ready for Toyrun.

America you knew what he was. You knew what he did. You knew he would rig the voting. You knew he never paid his bills. You let him get away with it. Evil uses him as a puppet, you knew this. None else in the world is surprised by anything he does. You failed. We are sick of hearing about it.

#motorcycle #sidecar#camping#livemusic Great weekend at Handlebar Haven Queensland Australia for 1st annual Sidecar gathering. 18 outfits and 30 like minded souls gathering for chat and live music. Some minor flooding Sat arvo, none drowned. Great weekend thanks Jock and Annie.

Southpark S27e01 is perfect in every way. au.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-news/s...

#motorcycle #sidecar #camping A few more outfits from weekend

#motorcycle #camping #food Camping over weekend lovely big firepit. Did a big lump of lamb wrapped in alfoil in firepit Friday night. Saturday mate showed up with huge pumpkin. Sidecar people are built differently. Had left over lamb, a pumpkin and a firepit. Only one logical choice. Very yummy.

#motorcycle #sidecar #camping Weekend away for first time in a while. Great catching up with mates. Got down to 0 degrees C overnight but toasty warm with 12v warming blanket in camper. About a dozen sidecars. Wombai Queensland Australia.

#motorcycle #sidecar #custom #project. Projects are never really finished. The GSX1400 has had 7 different sidecars over the years. At least once every sidecar I stated thats it finished, happy now it is done.

#motorcycle #custom #sidecar #toyrun Last 4 years Ipswich Toy run with grandaughters. Dodgem XJ the last 2 years, Valkerie 5 seater 3 years ago and GSX1400 5 seater 4 years ago. Still have Dodgem and Gsx1400. Smiles per Mile is very high.

#motorcycle #custom Honda Valkerie mild custom lovely smooth bike minor restoration and on to next lucky contestant. Mazda red looked fantastic.

#motorcycle #custom #MadMax #MFP Built a few specials over the years. Original Mad Max movie police cars had a great colour scheme. Main Force Patrol. MFP more than just the Black on Black and Goose bike. Not having any Kwakas I built mine on ex-police yamahas, La Pariseanne Fairings movie correct.

#motorcycle #sidecar #custom. 2 years ago built up double sidecar for growing granddaughters. One of only 7 of these sidecars built in the 70's. Very roomy but girls said it was a rough ride and didn't like it much. Sold on to next lucky contestant, on a harley now full repspray.

#motorcycle #custom Some of my bikes over the last 5 years. Still have the XJ Turbo, owned it over 35 years and over 300,000 km. Description on photos.

#motorcycle #custom #sidecar I built thr road legal Dodgem over 2 years ago. Time to get proper suspension under it. 1981 Xj650 turbo bumped to 900cc. Mid 60's Italian dodgem car that I quite possibly rode in at local show 50 years ago. Legal 4 seater.

#motorcycle #Gsx1400 #custom 2001 Gsx1400 with 1985 Suzuki Efe fairing and Xjr400 rear subframe seat and tailpiece.

#motorcycle After a month of troubleshooting no start noticed sidestand not fully home. Ready for ride on Monday. Check the simple stuff first people.

Thought I'd post this so if I ever went mad and decided to visit Gilead I would get sent home eventually.

Just watched SPIT on Binge. What a good movie. The sequel to GETTIN SQUARE is a great watch. If you like Mr Inbetween or enjoy comedic drama set in Australia I highly recommend. www.imdb.com/title/tt3474... www.imdb.com/title/tt0341... www.imdb.com/title/tt7472...

Been crook for last couple of months. Missed Budgie rally. Aiming for Frosty Dingo. I knew I was improving when I attempted to clean shed and ordered new tools on Ebay. Dodging twump on Web is full time job. Cheers all keep on keeping on.

Grandaughtèr has one job on Sunday. The long painful slog from kitchen to wheelie bin. Putting bins on footpath and new liners. You could see the weight of the task draining the energy from her tiny frame.

#Australia #travel #bushpoetry If I only had a dollar For every mile I've travelled. If memories were money I'd fill a bank or two.

#Australia #travel The middle of nowhere. Can you guess why sultanas were a vital part of camp cooking in central Australia?

#Australia #travel The Turtle. My home for over a year after I retired. I was technically homeless and having a psychotic episode apparently. At the time I just remember travelling and photographing sunsets, writing and performing bush poetry. Saw most of Australia. Miss it occasionally.

#motorcycle Yamaha Xv1000 Tr1 a lovely bike. Full restoration and useful touring bike.

#Australia #travel Luxury accommodation at Kalgoorlie Central Australia. Movie prop from some Vin Deisel movie.

#Australia #roadtrip #photography 2009 memories just popped up on Facebook. Trip with kids. Mercedes 300e a half lap of Australia.

Just joined Discord as Sidecardave. Old fart, can't figure out how to make it do anything. Group I found under Motorcycles doesn't let me join. Anytips? or am I just too old and full of farts?

#motorcycle #movies #sidecar Surprising number of movies with sidecars in them when you start looking. Watching Land of the Dead 2005 and noticed Suzuki Bandit sidecar. Went down the rabbit hole.

My brain currently. School holidays may be driving me slightly madder than normal.

#motorcycle #Australia Hoping for a good role up from sidecar crew. Southeast Queensland always a good weekend.

Daughters and Grandaughtèrs went out to dinner for cheap steak night at local Tavern. I was forced to make do with scraps from fridge. Apparently mine looked better.

#motorcycle #Australia Pics from about 20 years back. We found The Bat Tunnel. Caped crusaders no where to be seen. Possibly mislead.

#art #sparklers #happynewyear

I have been very fortunate and lived a life without hate, there are some I choose not to be around but in general I have a lucky life. I make an exception for 2 Australians Peter Dutton and Campbell Newman. They are human scum raised to power on lies and influence. They have no redeeming features.

40° and humid all day but the sunset is spectacular. Grandaughter got a bit stir crazy today.

#motorcycle #rallies My Rally bikes over the years. Yes I am the idiot who took a boat to The Ruptured Budgie.

#motorcycle #rallies #Australia The count down begins. Always a fun weekend. Catch up with mates and perhaps have a quiet rum.
