Doug Barber AKA Good Shot Q-Ball brings us this great book, offering us 30 years of photos with the old school and hardcore riders in the States.
Just the fact of having a sidecar on the cover made us order a copy of course.

A very nice sidecar from the people at Trijya in Japan (check out their FB page, it’s nicely done)
Andreas is selling his 24hp in Shanghai, it has out of town plates dating from October 2006, the paint job is in good shape apart from a chunk missing in the sidecar, the rest is all good. Papers and insurance need to be updated. Asking price is 25k rmb. Contact thomas@shanghaisideways.com if you want to take a look at it. It’s good value for money from our perspective.
Sideways Escape is expanding and opening shop in Lijiang – Yunnan. They have a few bikes down there but are looking for some more 32hp to buy from anyone around China to grow the fleet they have down there. Feel free to contact thomas@shanghaisideways.com for more info
Without wanting to sound too superficial, it’s all there (and I’m not posting all those GREAT CHRISTMAS PRESENT IDEAS because my girlfriend reads this blog…): http://www.benchandloom.com/specialty-shop

Sidecar motorbikes don’t really require riding suits but exceptions can be made, especially when the suit is very cool.
Just imagine riding the neighborhood with this on:

Dear Fellow riders,
Shine your chromes and grow your beard, the Santa Claus Ride has come.
The Santa Claus ride is a ride we do every year dressed as Santa Claus offering an unforgettable experience to underprivileged people (disabled, orphans…).
This year we will spend the afternoon giving back their mobility to disabled adults by enjoying a nice & fun sidecar ride with us. We need to be at least 20 riders to do something GREAT.
Meeting: Saturday Dec 17th at 12:01pm on the top floor of the Gubei Carrefour Store for a departure at 12:30pm SHARP! We will give you a Santa costume.
Contribution:We will give you the Santa Claus costumes (20rmb/costume!!!!) Please tell us if you want one or more.
We will drive everyone back to ZhongShan Park at 4pm.
End of the day at la Fourchette (xiangyang rd & julu rd) for a drink to see how people react when seeing 20 + santa claus’ having a cold beer in front of a row of sidecars and acting perfectly normal.
Please rsvp asap to jonathan@shanghaisideways.com as we need to be well organized. Let’s do this right!
