I've been adventure touring non-stop since 1982, and I've ridden extensively through more than a hundred countries. In 1988, I traveled overland from Colombia to Panama through the infamous Darien Gap. I've written one book, speak four languages, and spend five to six months a year riding the world. I'm Helga Pedersen, and this is my sidecar rig. Hi, I'm Helge, and this is Big Red, the sidecar I have been riding all for the last year. And if you stick around, I will teach you a little more about the sidecar adventure riding, and we'll even gonna go and visit the workshop that designed and created Big Red. The first time I saw a sidecar that I really want to ride was in Norway during the Crystall Rally. I think was in the early eighties. It was like minus 30 degrees, and I was just hanging on for my dear life on my R80 GS BMW.

here comes this guy passing me with a sidecar, just sliding around the corners at all. I have to try that, and I did. I tried it. It was crazy. I slide all over the place, but it was really fun. I run a company called Globe Riders, and we do tours all over the world. Some of my clients have been riding sidecars. I've been looking at it, and it looked like, Wow, that's a lot of work and stuff, but I tell you, I knew that one day I have to try this. The biggest attraction for me is the way to get in connection with people. It really have opened my eyes and opened the world in a way. When you come with that sidecar, you know, as a motorcyclist, people normally say hello, but not everybody. On a sidecar, everybody. Well, it's something romantic, I think, with the sidecar that people associate with it. So I knew I wanted a sidecar, and I kind of knew what sidecar I wanted.

wanted that boxer BMW. I tried that Ural. I've seen the Ural. I actually been to the Ural factory in Irbit, Russia.
Great bike in their own ways, but not for me. It's too slow, too many mechanical
problems, and I wanted something that had the horsepower and the speed that I like
to go with. I've seen the other guys, they were always struggling with the power
and they're wearing out the clutch. You dry clutch this new water-cooled BMWs
have wet clutch that was very good. It have 125 horsepower, people say
overkill. Well, you tow a big tub on the side, you need all the help you
can. You have cruise control, stupid things like that, but it really it's nice.
So I have a personal rule, I have a limit of two bikes in my garage. I don't need
more than two bikes. I do tours all over the world, one is
always gone in a container or when I'm out riding it, and the other one sits at
home waiting for me. Then I decided I

was going to have a sidecar bike so one
of the bikes became a sidecar by. I were excited to find out that one of
the best sidecar builders in the country is just a couple of hours ride away
from home. So one thing that really intrigued me with the DMC was to
set up here. So Jay can you tell a little bit how that works? Well this is our
electric trim and what it does is it raises or lowers the upper shock pickup
point, which raises or lowers the sidecar suspension to trim for load and road
conditions, which will lower your steering effort and help you maintain
a straight line. Just the press over the button and I could straighten myself
out, and I did this, I don't know, hundreds of times during the day. They're 
just like trim tabs on a boat or an airplane. Yeah so what's interesting about this bike,
these wheels are interchangeable. All three wheels on this motorcycle
interchange, we're actually running an

original rear wheel on the front, which involved building a custom hub. That you bolt the wheel on, then you bolt five spacers that pass through the wheel. Then you bolt on an adapter, then you bolt on a pair of Ducati brake rotors. Then you bolt in an adapter, then you bolt the ABS tone ring on. Then you put it all together with a longer axle. Which sounds like a lot of work, and it is, but it certainly beats walking when you get a flat tire. We've got an automotive wheel on the back, which is done with an adapter that can be taken off. So the original wheel will still go on. And in the case of the sidecar, he's currently running a BMW wheel. But our hub also has a bolt pattern on it that allows you to put an automotive wheel on it. So while he has an automotive wheel on the back of the bike, that could have easily been put on the sidecar as well. And this allows

you to carry one spare that'll fit all
three positions, or if you notice the treads getting a little thin on one of
the tires. The sidecar tire is just more or less along for the ride, and sometimes have been known to dry rot before you ever wear it out. In order to ride a
sidecar bike here in Washington state, you have to have an endorsement, so I
went to a two-day course, and I think it was the best investment of time and
money that I ever did. The sidecar bike is a completely different animal from a
solo bike. A two-wheel single track motorcycle could be steered entirely
like just shifting your body weight without any input from your hands or
from your arms. A sidecar motorcycle cannot be
leaned the same way; all the steering force needs to come from your arms and
upper body. So on the sidecar, if you want to turn to the right, you turn the
handlebar to the right, just like a car.

but you also troll your body over the
centrifugal force. Want you to go off the road, want to go straight, but you are
working against that. To compensate, you'll lean to the right with your body.
The faster you go, the more you need to lean, the more weight you need over to
this side. If you have a person sitting here and you have more weight, the less
you didn't need to lean. So if you don't have enough weight over the sidecar, you
might end up just flipping over. The sidecar wheel will go up in there, and
you might flip over. It's probably the most tricky part with a sidecar. The
right turn because it has a tendency to lift off the sidecar. Making a left-hand
turn for a sidecar rider is much easier than going to the right. When you're
turning to the left, you turn the handlebar to the left. You also put your weight
over to the left side, but it's not as critical as if you were turning to the
right because you have the sidecar wheel.

keeping your steady and it takes very
much to flip over the bike while doing a left-hand turn, and if the sidecar is on the wrong left
side of the bike, everything is in Reverse. What can I say after a long day
on the road, and especially on curvy roads all day, you're sitting like this,
working it, and you feel it. It's a workout. So I just got my endorsement. I
got this beautiful new bike, and I were going to go to South America. I was a
little nervous in the beginning, but I made it all the way 8,000 miles to
Tierra del Fuego, and I'm really glad I did. We were going on good roads, bad
roads, we will see level up to 14,000 feet. I think we did like seven or eight
countries from Colombia to Argentina. We encountered all kind of weather. We had
snow, we had blistering hot weather, roads that was incredibly difficult. We got a
lot of wind at parts. It was what you

expected an adventure. An adventure is
not supposed to be an easy thing, and doing it by a sidecar, I saw that it was
quite different adventure because I had three wheels.
I was stable when the other guys were forming around in the snow. I could take
pictures of them, have fun with it, you know. I were not gonna fall down, but
he was also a challenge on the switchback in Colombia, like thousand
switchbacks, really hard. I got strong after that trip for sure. This last year, riding the sidecar has
really opened my eyes to new adventures. I was very nervous in the beginning, but
when I got the hang of it, it's really fun. I would still ride my solo bike for
the majority of my travels. It's much more flexible than the sidecar, and
that's my main tool for my trade. It's a big commitment getting a sidecar
economically, space in the garage, but so do your homework, try it out if you have
the chance before you commit, perhaps I

don't regret it a bit for this last year.
I had a lot of fun, and I know I'm gonna have more fun into the future riding the
world on three wheels. Just give it a try. It's not gonna hurt, hopefully.

헬게 페데르센: 사이드카 어드벤처 라이더

헬게 페데르센은 거의 40년 동안 어드벤처 투어를 해왔으며 100개 이상의 국가를 여행했습니다.

그는 글로브 라이더스의 소유주이며 사이드카 어드벤처 라이딩에 대한 깊은 열정을 가지고 있으며 이를 통해 전 세계 사람들과 소통하고 있습니다.

노르웨이에서 열린 크리스탈 랠리에서 사이드카를 본 후 사이드카에 대한 그의 사랑은 촉발되었고, 그 이후로 지난 1년 동안 사이드카 빅레드를 타고 있습니다.

사이드카가 장착된 복서 BMW와 우랄 모터사이클 비교

박서 BMW는 더 빠른 속도, 낮은 기계적 문제, 더 나은 클러치 시스템으로 인해 우랄보다 선호됩니다.

내레이터는 두 대의 자전거만 소유하는 개인적인 규칙을 가지고 있는데, 그 중 하나는 사이드카 자전거입니다.

사이드카 바이크에는 다양한 하중과 도로 조건에 따라 사이드카 서스펜션을 조절하는 전동 트림이 장착되어 있어 직진 상태를 유지하기가 더 쉽습니다.

사이드카 사용을 위한 모터사이클 휠 커스터마이징

사이드카용으로 모터사이클 휠을 커스터마이징하려면 맞춤형 허브를 제작하고 스페이서, 브레이크 로터, 어댑터, ABS 톤 링을 추가하고 더 긴 액슬을 사용해야 합니다.

이러한 커스터마이징을 통해 뒷바퀴와 사이드카에 자동차 휠을 사용할 수 있어 세 가지 위치 모두에 하나의 스페어 휠을 사용할 수 있는 편리함을 제공합니다.

사이드카 자전거를 타려면 체중 이동이 아닌 자동차처럼 팔과 상체의 스티어링 입력에 의존하기 때문에 솔로 자전거를 타는 것과는 다른 기술이 필요합니다.

사이드카 모터사이클 라이딩 마스터하기

사이드카 모터사이클을 타려면 원심력을 보정하기 위해 반대편으로 몸을 기울여야 합니다.

사이드카의 무게가 충분하지 않으면 전복될 수 있어 우회전이 가장 어렵습니다.

좌회전은 사이드카 바퀴의 지지력 덕분에 더 쉽습니다.

사이드카 라이딩을 마스터하려면 육체적 노력이 필요하며 다양한 지형과 기상 조건을 통과하는 장거리 여행에서 보람 있는 경험을 할 수 있습니다.

사이드카 모터사이클 라이딩으로 새로운 모험을 즐기기

사이드카 모터사이클을 타면 안정감과 함께 순간을 포착하고 험난한 지형에 도전하는 등 독특한 모험의 기회를 얻을 수 있습니다.

처음에는 긴장되지만 이 경험은 궁극적으로 많은 재미와 개인적인 성장을 가져다줍니다.

큰 결심이 필요하지만, 모험과 즐거움은 그만한 가치가 있습니다.
