While Ride Three has a pretty extensive area devoted to resources about sidecar motorcycles, I thought there should be a quick something that highlights great sidecar motorcycle resources in Oregon, specifically Eugene. If you live in Eugene and are considering a sidecar motorcycle, these can help:

• Ural Dealership (sales and service): Raceway Services, Salem, Oregon (where I purchased my Ural and also took it for its 500km service)
• Manufacturer: IMZ-Ural (corporate headquarters in Seattle, factory in Irbit, Siberia, Russia)
• Motorcycle Apparel, Parts and Accessories: Discount Motorcycle Parts, 995 Tyinn St. #7, Eugene, Oregon (great prices and selection on riding apparel and accessories; so far we’ve gotten gloves, Jodie’s riding jacket and a Battery Tender there. Steve and Annette are long-time owners, knowledgeable, and great to talk with.)
• Sidecar Motorcycle Training: Adventure Sidecar, Hood River, Oregon. (Before you plunk down a few grand on a sidecar motorcycle, first you want to make sure that this is really for you. Vernon Wade’s 3-day class gives you classroom and practical experience. Trust me – by the time you’re done with the course, you’ll know if sidecars are for you.)
• Other Sidecar Motorcycle Owners: This last isn’t Oregon-specific, but the many sidecar message boards out there are one of your best resources for learning more about sidecar motorcycles.

What’d I miss? I’m still pretty new to motorcycling, and am sure there are plenty of great places and folks out there who are great resources for motorcyclists. Let me know what I missed, and I’ll add that resource to Ride Three.
