2 Floyd Dreyer Biographies
Floyd Herbert Dreyer Nov 30, 1898 - Feb 25, 1989 Indianapolis, Indiana
Floyd "Pop" Dreyer was the leading sidecar racer from the 1910s to the early 1920s. Dreyer won numerous national sidecar racing championships sanctioned by the Motorcycle & Allied Trades Association (M&ATA), the predecessor to the AMA. He retired from racing after the 1923 season. Dreyer moved to Indianapolis and became a welder for the luxurious Duesenberg Automobile Company. He also became involved in automobile racing and became one of the leading builders of midget race cars. Dreyer came up with many innovations in race car building, including being one of the first to build lightweight magnesium wheels. In 1953, Dreyer opened a BMW motorcycle dealership in Indianapolis. In 1959, he added Honda to his line, becoming the first Honda dealership east of the Mississippi. The family-owned dealership still thrives today. Late in life, Dreyer became an avid motorcycle tourer, attending BMW rallies across the nation. According to his family, he enjoyed always winning the oldest rider award at the rallies. Even into his 80s, he still possessed great skills riding a sidecar rig. He often did stunts with his rig at national races in the Midwest, lifting the sidecar in the air and waving to the fans as he sped past, all the time puffing on his trademark pipe. Dreyer was awarded the prestigious Dudley Perkins Award in 1986 for his lifelong contributions to the sport.
