A sidecar motorcycle sighting on Saturday got me wondering: how many sidecar motorcycles are in Eugene, Oregon?

Sighting: Honda Gold Wing with Sidecar

While running some errands on Coburg Road this past Saturday — in the car, not the Ural, unfortunately — Jodie and I pulled into a Safeway parking lot and saw a black Honda Gold Wing with a nice-sized sidecar.

We’ve heard time and again about people seeing a black sidecar motorcycle around Eugene. (Sometimes they wave, thinking it’s me and Jodie, and wonder why “we” aren’t waving back.) At first we thought this mystery black rig was another Ural rider, who we’re acquainted with and has a black Ural, but maybe it’s this Gold Wing?

The sidecar count so far: 4

In any case, we know of 4 sidecar motorcycles in Eugene (including ours):

1. Black Ural
2. White BMW
3. Black Honda Gold Wing
4. Green Ural Patrol (ours)

Do you know of any other sidecar motorcycles in Eugene, or the overall Lane County area?
