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...
My daughter telling me like it is:"There is an old man in your face daddy!"
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)Originally Posted by Biff

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.
Chang Jiang are the toy of choice for the war game crowd,they are the actual war time BMW,the Ural is later model....I don't care,I just want one.Originally Posted by Ixion
Chang Jiang
In and out of jobs, running free
Waging war with society
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 easilyOriginally Posted by Motu
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.....
Heres his website, http://www.fwdspares.co.nz/ click the Collectable Vehicles, got some of his bikes there.
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.

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
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
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
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...

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.
90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.
