I saw a movie called Duma. The kid in it learned to ride his Dad's sidecar motorcycle and had a bit of aventure in Africa. I won't give any details away in case you rent it to watch. My friend and I both enjoyed the film.

Much obliged, ma'am. I'll look for that title next time we're at the video store.

Poor Hector! We were out riding in the Ural yesterday and as we came back into town he suddenly started thrashing about in the sidecar, biting his hindquarters, shaking his head and pawing at his face. I was about to pull over to see what was wrong but he suddenly calmed and laid back down on his blanket. When we got home I saw what all the fuss was about - there was a wounded wasp trapped between the folds of the blanket! Obviously it had been blown into the interior of the hack and had stung my poor doggy several times until it got buried under the blanket. And Hector stayed in the sidecar the whole time - he got extra doggy treats for being such a good boy!

OUCH! That must have awful for him. I saw your blog about your club ride. All 2 of you.
It looked like a good day. Do they have outstanding coffee at that Hillside coffee place?

Hey, that was only the Eastern Ontario Division membership. Believe it or not, we have 28 in total from Canada, the US, Belgium and Australia on our club roster now. In a few years we're gonna rule the WORLD, baybee!
And, yes, the Hillside Coffee is outstanding. The "Paddler's Perk" is eactly my kind of blend and roast - great stuff!

Poor Hector! I'm glad he's ok. When you first mentioned the thrashing my mind went instantly to seizures.
I never should have shown my wife the pictures of him. She's telling me I need to find a sidecar for our "baby" now too!

As did mine, but these were more pronounced than his usual ones (he also has epilepsy) so I knew right away it was something else. Never occurred to me it might have been a bug bite.

You won't regret it if you do!

Mrs. Stark has had a "Ural bug" for a while...... this of course makes no sense, we recently sold the Reflex and are selling the Marauder to make
more room in the shed........not to fill it up with more bikes?
She has fantasies of riding with DoofyDawg (Cody) in the hack:
I've tried to get her to think Stella (Vespa clone) and hack, but Doofy might not fit, he's kinda...ummmm......
large......
