Sidecarest get together In Talkeetna Alaska 2014

2013

Last year 2013    Dan LaPan 
The Alaska Representative of the United Sidecar Association 
Sent out a e-mail to quite a few folks that were members to the USCA
To have a little informal get together on Memorial Day weekend
And of the folks that either moved lost interest or had other commitments 

We ended up with four sidecars showing up

Dom was touring Alaska from Colorado with his Ural at the time and he took the time to visit before he went back to Colorado
Sharon, Bob, Dan, Sophi, Richard, Dom



This year we haven't had any rain in about a month and a half. And the state is like a tinder box waiting for some fool to be a little careless. The Kenei  peninsula has quite a few fires and the area is known world wide as Alaska's premier Salmon fishing area of the state

Dieter Schreiber and his wife Karen with Richard talking about the benefits of a airhead. This was Dieters first time at this type of event

  1. Nice write-up. Some of the pictures looked like they were taken back in the '60s when color film was very "approximate".

  2. From yours and Richard's posting, Bob, looks like quite the mellow gathering.....that was an interesting looking Airhead that Dieter rode in....

  3. I wondered about the color myself but I took pictures with I-phone and my DSLR
    Maybe smoke induced color
