Yesterday afternoon cancer took one of my best friends and fellow sidecar builder/racer Doug Bingham. In past years he received several Emmys for his work in building camera sidecars for television and the Olympics, in addition he founded the annual Sidecar Rally which will have it's 45th year run this year. Doug was also a member of the AMA Hall of Fame. Back in the early 1960's Doug started a company in Van Nuys, California called Side Strider that build and imported both race and street sidecars. The sport has lost one of it's outstanding people in the world of motorcycling and sidecars..........RIP. Doug.................................
