She's gone!! My 1980 SA22.... traded for something equally cool...or cooler.........
Well I finally moved on from the Black SA-22! She was a good car and brought fun to my life, but it was time to move on to another project.
I am either in the middle of a project, finishing a project, or looking for another project... I placed an ad in craigslist "barter" section to trade for something cool.... I had a guy say you want something cool???? He had a Antique Russian Sidecar Motorcycle... I thought... that is cool!!! Well we made the trade am I am very happy. He needed a car for his son.... I wanted something else to play with!! Deal is done!! Oh... I still have my other RX-7... "project cheap autocrosser" I put 600KM on it the first weekend!! I am so sore from riding and riding... the looks and comments you get are pretty cool to! I will still be here... just 1 instead of 2 RX-7's.. http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/o...r/P1050396.jpg http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/o...r/P1050394.jpg |
wow that is cool, I don't know you but was going to give ya heck for getting rid of a black SA, but how often would you have a chance to score a bike sidecar combo like that?
look like a blast!! |

I love old bikes! What year is that? It looks post war.
Nice find! |
Finding antique Russian parts ought to be enough to keep you project-ing for a while.
Love the "pintle hook" rear passenger grip. |
Wow, you had me scared there for a minute Old School. Thought you were talking about the silver car.
That is totally cool, the three wheels is great for us Old Guys. Is that a Wankel I see in there? Those Ruskies were into some pretty cool science back then. What year is it?? https://i378.photobucket.com/albums/...r/P1050394.jpg |
1960's vintage... the design is a 1930's BMW. BMW R-75 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_R75
You know the Ruskies never changed anything, so that is why it looks so crazy old. Divindiver.... thank God for ebay... there is a lot of parts there for it. Ray.... I thought about installing a 12a!! That would be cool... maybe a project for another sidecar bike in the future!! That is a 2 cylinder boxer engine with dual carbs..... I am glad you guys are not beating me up too much about trading her... She just sat in the garage and the new owner just LOVES it.... what more can I ask for?? My Silver RX-7 will keep me satisfied for a long time. |

Yeah, it's not like you bought a Miata or something...

Forum member Hecubus84 may be a valuable resource for you now. He is heavily into old bikes (not sure about Ruskies though) and might be able to assist with advice/parts. I'd shoot him a PM and see what he knows.
Enjoy the new toy! :) . |
She was fun and will be missed... but it is nice to know she went to a happy owner!!

Why's it got a German flag on it though?
|
That would be East Germany. There used to be a thing called the Berlin Wall.
I like the bike Old School but that Black SA is pretty nice too. |

I actually put the "D" sticker on the back and the German flag on it because of my heritage.. |
Makes sense, was wondering if it had a special significance.
