    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...

    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)

    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'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.....

    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.

    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

    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds

    And the temples of his Gods

    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...

    Sidekick applicants

    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.
