Tony Sparacino and his wife Peggy have been a huge part of California Sidecar throughout the years. To know California Sidecar is to know The Sparacino’s. Together they owned and operated Trikes by Tony in Inverness Florida for many years and were California Sidecar's #1 dealer. Throughout their trike selling days they installed over 1,600 CSC trike kits.
In 2006 they sold the Trikes by Tony shop and together made the decision to retire early and in 2007 Tony and Peggy began their next adventure. Together they began working for CSC. Tony driving the California Sidecar rig and with Peggy at his side they have been attending the rallies and shows representing California Sidecar ever since. Doing not only what they love but what they do best, engaging with the public and sharing their experiences and stories.
It is with great sadness that we have recently learned that Tony is losing his battle to cancer. Over the past couple of years he has fought relentlessly against this horrible disease but unfortunately it has taken its toll. To anyone that has had to endure cancer personally or has had to watch a loved one succumb to such a horrible disease knows all too familiar how the medical expenses can be catastrophic and overwhelming. Tony has tried several experimental drugs and unfortunately insurance will only cover part of the cost.
California Sidecar will match all monies raised with this campaign. Thank you for your time.
Brings back memories of my Gold Wing years. This looks really good and will have the reliability and power of the Honda. I would like a chance to take one of these for a spin to see if it cooks my passenger like my Tri-glide does.
Call me what you will, not any longer a biker, not even really a triker yet, but getting there.
I have had my trike 4 years, still trying to get it road worthy, but time has given me the chance to learn and look around.
I have seen more trikes now than I thought were around, but some are real awesome factory units and some home built.
I have seen a lot more here at the site, wow, does it make me feel like I a trying to keep a dead horse alive, yes, but that is part of the game too.
This new CSC Encore Trike really has it going on. Yes the 3 wheel match up is very nice touch, but the body lines and how all is flowing together is a very nice addition. Road tester, how did I miss my calling ???
I am glad to hear about the road testing, it is one of the best parts about it all, customer feedback.
If all really gave their honest opinion and complaints to the top, and others listened, well than it does sound like Honda has a new Road Warrior for the Triker's . Love that low center line and level of this Trike, as it does help the us short legged people get on and off the ride easier. Keeping low to the ground is a key point with the Trike, just a very nice and awesome looking Trike and I like it, but I did fall in love 4 years ago, so I have to stay it and give it my best.
Thank you for sharing with us, we all really enjoy seeing such nice work, so very clean looking, makes me want to buy one because it just looks so clean and well designed.
I'm sure it is well engineered - but sorry, it just isn't my style. To "futuristic" for me, & the trunk looks too small for the rest of the vehicle. Also, you didn't include any pictures of the rear. But, to be fair, I generally favor a more traditional style on vehicles overall & the GW doesn't fit that description to start with.
As others have noted, what (if anything) was done to the front suspension (rake etc.). Is the rear a swingarm or double A-arm type of I.R.S. and is the trike body lighting all LED as well? Thanks! (GREAT job on the trike!)
Like it!! Makes me consider trading/selling my 2013 ROADSMITH HSC. Wonder what they have done about raking the front end. From the PIC it didn't look raked.
Yes, it is going to have the raked front end. It is in development.
Try disconnecting the battery for about 20 seconds or so and then reconnect it. If the problem that caused the error to appear has gone away, this will
Thank you. I have replaced multiple air rides and refilled air shocks on older GL1500's, but I agree I do not think this is my issue . I think my issue
I would suggest that you do not attempt to add oil. It is a sealed system from the factory and does not leak oil unless it is tampered with. That is not
I wound up unbolting it and unplugging it and removing it from the frame. Make sure its zeroed out before removing and working on it. Take a marker and
Thank you, I will try this later this afternoon whenever I get home. If I do need to add hydraulic oil to the shock, what is the best way to access it?
The hydraulic pump is on the frame on the right side and you can see it inside the right wheel well . To service it you have to pull the right rear wheel
Thank you for your reply. So it shows 25. It will go down, but when you try to adjust up it says Suspension Error. And you can’t hear anything pumping.
It looks like he has the main shock set at its stiffest setting and hes probably getting a real harsh ride. The Monarch II uses also the main Honda shock
