I just realized that Classic Motorworks, the sponsor of this Forum, is also where my Cozy Euro Sidecar is coming from.   I was searching to see where Classic Motorworks was located and the forum popped up.   

I should have the sidecar mounted before the end of the month by Marty at http:/GomotMN.com

Will Vlog my camping adventures with my Akita Dog Momo.

And now, the rest of the story.... ;D

During this time period we were also the US distributor of the Royal Enfield Motorcycles also from India. Our business was called Classic Motorworks and it is still the parent of Cycle Sidecar. We imported and distributed the Royal Enfield until 2015. Royal Enfield decided to do its own distribution in the US and other countries which allowed us to focus full time on sidecars.
Unlike being in the motorcycle industry no one has ever called us to tell us that their sidecar wouldn't start!
Best Regards - Kevin and Mimi Mahoney - owners of Classic Motorworks/Cycle Sidecar

In all fairness, it is now Hitchcocks Motorcycles   www.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com that operates the site. I started the site about 20 years ago. I've always said that it was one of the best things I ever did for customers and the brand and it required almost no intervention because the members were so good, respectful with each other etc. It was and is a great place to get information about the bikes. At that time information from the factory was nonexistent. I assume that it is much better now.

In 2015 RE opened its own distributorship in the form of RENA. Alan Hitchcock and I have been good friends since the beginning. We both struggled with RE parts and exchanged information. We've traveled to India together looking for new suppliers and items. Anyway....... When RENA started the site was an orphan. Alan stepped in very kindly. He told me that he didn't want to see the resource disappear so he took over. It is 100% because of Alaan that this forum is still here. You can see how lowkey he and his sons are about it. I have encouraged him to raise his visibility by visual design but they would rather not so that it is not seen as an advertising tool. Alan and his family are the best resource in the world for all things RE. BTW he started his business in his bedroom at his parent's house, scrounging old parts.
