This week’s Rides Around features an eccentric motorcycle adventurist and a dear friend. He is a legend of the west, often seen as simply a plumb purple streak wearing a rut in a Montanan highway. That is Sidecar Sam. We are going to focus on Sam’s Chief Darkhorse, although he has a variety of cycles to choose from. Some wives might say too many….
Sam says, “A Motorcycle is the Perfect Vehicle to Explore the World and Your Own Backyard; the Sights, the Sounds, the Smells, the Feel of the Wind, Road, and Weather.”
Sam’s Philosophy: “2 Wheels, or 3, is the best way to see the world. You experience the places you visit with All of your senses – not just your eyes like when you are in an automobile, bus, train, or any other vehicle that is enclosed. It doesn’t matter what Marque or Brand of machine you choose – they All have their Good points and Bad points.”
Sam’s been writing about his adventures for some time, and you can read more about his motorcycles, travels and family, on his website here.
