Sorry about your granny. That's sad. Glad you're dedicating bike to her. I have a small tribute piece on my BO bike dedicated to my wife's recently departed gram.

I have dedicated the sidecar Minnehaha to Glen's sis,as that was her nickname...
 
Tried to do as much as possible today,but yet again,everything seemed to be workin against me:banghead:

I finally got to see your pics logged in and full size, WOW
So many cool details and things to look at, looks like it has been together for decades, Perfect!
 
So the headbadge arrived today,but not sure if I am going place it where it's suppose to go,the girders seem to hide it...And the badge is WOW!!!
Maybe on the seat stem?

Also the florin from nz arrived today ,thats a gift from Glen as Minnehaha is dedicated to his sister...
Thanx Glen,also for the tribute notice:113:...The poem is soooo beautiful,brought tears:cry:...Your sister sounds like a wonderful person.:angelic:...I have framed it,fits in this perfect frame that has been empty for years.Will post pics..

I was hoping to have a new camera for the photo shoot,but not going to happen as I have to order out of Greece...Tried 4 companies,1 screwed me around,1 out of stock and the other 2 didn't answer:43:...
So will order one from Israel....So will have to use the camera phone that I ave been using:crazy2:
 
It's been so hard to keep up with everyone lately. I just caught up from Saturday and am floored by the progress! This thing is amazing! I kept wondering if the sidecar would look too bulky, but it really works perfectly! Well done!:thumbsup:


BTW, at first glance, I thought that this was the maxihaha version!:D:21::rofl:
