Miscellaneous Images from past Black Dog Rallies
I think Tom Niemela took this
photo of Jim Klaas aboard his vintage Hodaka, myself with Amy, aboard our
Triumph Tiger at the 2002 Blackdog:

2004 saw a dramatic increase in sidecar participation when IMWA sponsored several teams. Out of a field of almost 200 bikes we had ten sidecars. The Urals did very well, impressing one and all with their rugged reliability and remarkable ability to go almost anywhere the determined sidecar pilots chose to point them.
IMWA V.P Gary Kelsey and his brother, Bubba, entered the event, riding Gary's personal sidecar.

The sidecar crowd took home a number of trophies. The Urals made a particular good showing.
