My old Yamaha Midnight Maxim and Sidecar (Part II)






"Hell's Bills" - (l to r) My grandfather, myself, and my father.




















Hair parted in the middle - Levi's vest - hmmmm - the '70's were something, weren't they?

Anyway I loved this Honda SL350. Ran like a top and had a pretty decent exhaust note. It was fairly customized. It is the same bike that is orange in the picture above. It was originally a dual purpose bike meant for offroad use as much as road use. Besides painting it black we added a custom fender, backrest, fairing, and pipes.

I would add saddlebags and highway bars later.











If I were to get a sidecar rig today...of course, it's a Harley....and I'm not sure if I would go for the beard or not...
