Let me guess - the ultimate solution for those affected by road rage?

fuk, that's mental. Parking - no problem. Traffic - no problem. Pedestrians - no problem. Law - no problem. Helli-gunship attack - might have issues..

[John]

This could be handy for a kiwibiker ride...

Definately good potential, dont know many cops to keen to pull someone over with a mg visible..

Yeah good point... might need a side order of surface to air missles.

Can I have that to go? Oh, and a large coke - no ice

Imagine it though!

now please... stand back"

[Jonty]

lane splitting would be a breeze - I want one!!

[Motu]

That's the real thing alright,not a chinese Chiang Jiang painted up with a toy gun - check out the fat front tyre and air filter up on the big tank....the price confirms it's something special too! I thought most of the German outfits were flat 4 Zundapps...but I've never seen either in the flesh anyway.

Back when the world was a gentler place...

We used to go into town for burgers in this guys WW2 jeep with dummy twin .50cal machine guns. All dressed up in old army greatcoats and shit.. Heaps a fun...

For a brief time I owned a Daimler Armoured Scout Car... (dad was pleased to see that rumble up the drive - not). It was really a light recce vehicle but it was a blast to drive around town on a friday night... Mine was a bit chopped up but fun never the less. 5 speed pre selector gear box, full time 4WD, seperate rev / fwd gearbox (5 forward and 5 rev gears), 4.5 litre engine...

We also had first dibs on a 'Honey' light tank (that was the british name - it was really an american lend - lease Stuart M3) but none of our folks would let it live at their place... rotters. It had a radial engine and was the coolest thing I ever saw.

I think mostly zundapps and flat head BMW's with a few latter OHV ones. Later on the Germans realised the VW based car thingy was a better bet and the Jeep better still.

My Dad was in the engineers attached to front line units as a mechanic and they used to 'liberate' them (had to be careful of booby traps) and strop them about. He reckoned they were bloody wonderful machines.

Nice looking machine alright.
Shame about that extra zero in the price.

Without sidecar, there's an army green bike of close vintage running around my neighbourhood. Dude rides it frequently too. Probably every 'fine' weekend. Thought it was a trail bike by the engine sound (large cc single banger and makes the exhaust whistle sound), that was till I spotted it.

[myvice]

Most people just run over possums, someone always goes too far!

I miss the M41 Walker Bulldogs. Sigh.

Like you'd have to worry about the NZ airforce having those :P

did u play on those ?

[Hitcher]

did u play on those ?
Nah. Only the regulars were allowed anywhere near them. Loved them they did. Their precioussss...

[TonyB]

Hmmm- somebody probably tried to shoot my grandad with that thing! Mind you, he was in a tank so it wouldn't have worked too well...

[Biff]

Doesn't the Ruskie company Ural sell bikes with sidecars and immitation shooters ?

Yes Biff - you're right, again. My you are a font of useless knowledge. I sometimes lie awake at might thinking of you.

Thanks Biff. You're a bit of a stud muffin yourself. Let's get together sometime.

Pale imitations. THIS is the REAL THING. Oh, that I had a measly 50 K. Alas I don't even have a child I can sell (well, I could always make more children - they're not making any more Wehrmacht BMWs)

[rfc85]

I was attached to the t-heads for a few years and we used to get alot of laughs from the mass's as we drove up the desert road on the m113's or scorpion. the scopion could crank out 50-60k on the main road.
it must have been intimidating to joe public to have some one stare at them looking over a .50 cal but it was all good shit then.

I want one to,I reckon if I could get a working machine gun I would be able to win the National Roadrace Sidecar Champs quite easily

[gav]

WTF? Thats my mate from Nelson, selling that!! Seriously, it is, he owns a four wheel drive wrecking business. I've sat on that bike, very cool, hes got allsorts of interesting war relics tucked away. Hmm, wonder what hes got lined up now, he has some amazing stuff up there, restores old Indians, too. Hmmm, see hes selling his WLA....probably buying a Britten..... :clap:
Heres his website, http://www.fwdspares.co.nz/ click the Collectable Vehicles, got some of his bikes there.

[Wolf]

Gav, your mate would have both Juliet and I frothing with Jealousy - me for the BMW R75 with sidecar, Juliet for the Indians...

Would really love to buy that Beemer - I had a kitset of one as a kid that started my "love affair" with BMW Horiz-Opp twins.

Only 90km/h top speed but if you had the licence for the MG, and someone in the sidecar, no one would flip you off for riding too slow...

Tis a beaut, rep your way, Ix, for spotting that beauty. Hope whoever buys it gets it registered so I can at least see it out and about on the road in my travels.

can i please rent it????please????go on......please..

[Timber020]

Cant do any better than an MG42, you gotta hand it to those germans, no sense of humour but boy can they whup it up throughout the whole neighbourhood. Cool bike, maybe we could sell it to the US army

[Sniper]

Hmmmm, I want one, just imagine how long it would take driving down the road before you could find the bravest cop to pull you up

[Wolf]

Whoever gets it is getting a beaut - it looks mint from the pics. I soooo seriously would love it. It's a true collector's piece. Never ever thought I see one for one sale here in NZ, let alone one in that condition. Major Kudos to the owners who looked after it all those years.

I had two kits of it - a smaller one with sidecar and three soldier figurines - rider, gunner and an officer standing nearby and the large scale model of just the bike with rubber tyres, plastic hoses - clear for the fuel lines and black for the cables (the latter of which which snapped the mounting lugs off so I replaced them with string soaked in India Ink, glued straight to the appropriate points) Twas the larger that my mum destroyed and I have never found a similar replacement.

I think the real McCoy would be a fitting replacement...

The 90km/h top speed is hard case - I'd say it was geared more for power than speed as even a 1940's 750 should have been capable of greater speed than that. I suspect that it could do 90km/h anywhere - European roads, African sands, straight up a vertical cliff...

[Flyingpony]

No bike will be complete without some sidekicks.

Think the cat is trained for attending bike shows and the dog appears to have a military background and thus can help out with any road rage and security matters.
