Sibley, OH
Motorvation Sidecar
941 Fourth Ave
Sibley, IA. 51249
Gary – attaches the sidecars
Mary – owner
Chris – Mary’s son and employee
8:30 am – show up and meet the two employees inside, the owner and the person that will be installing my sidecar will be in later, maybe 10 am. I borrow a clean sponge and bucket of soapy water and spend 40 minutes washing my bike. Gary shows up at 10:30 and starts working on attaching my sidecar. Nothing rushes in Ohio, he finishes at 6 pm and then takes me out for a test drive. His big advise is to put 100 lbs of sand bags in the sidecar if I’m going to be driving on the highway, that will keep it from bouncing up and becoming airborne at high speeds.
Smokers – everyone in the shop smokes, it’s a different world out here.
Spend the day walking around Sibley
• Small town of 2500
• Well maintained but not rich
• Friendly people
• Spent my time reading motorcycle magazines and listening to Mary talk
6 pm test drive with Gary
Buy 120 lbs of salt (cheaper than sand) for ballast in the sidecar
Plan the trip home:
➢ Badlands
➢ Blackhills
➢ Sturgis
➢ Devil’s Tower
➢ Cody
➢ Yellowstone
➢ Grand Tetons
