I have owned a side valve CJ for a bit longer than a year. Its a 1930's technology bike, sure its slow but it has been more fun than a cage of drunken monkeys. Its made it to one brass monkey, rode it there from Chch. When we got there we filled it with firewood and used it to pick up supplies and do donuts in the mud in front of the fire.
A few things have broken, nothing that couldn't be fixed on the side of the road.

Just another leather clad Tinkerbell.
The Wanker on the Fucking Harley is going for a ride!
How many pies fit in the pie cart on the side?

I know that this is a bit late. That particular bike is as genuine as you are likely to see and is the German military BMW 500cc with a driven sidecar wheel [2 wheel drive]. Rumour has it that the owner paid about $40 000 for it. You have to be keen to dress up and reinact the scene. No wonder $50 to start it was laughed at. If you had really been interested and were prepared to talk to a few of the reinactment group they would have been a bit more sympathetic and not treated you as a smart arse.
There was one of those Urals around Tauranga a couple of months ago, used to be parked off First Ave. Saw the guy out once taking his kids for a ride, cool.
