At home. I haven't got the suspension set up where I am comfortable taking her seriously off road yet.

I didn't know there was such an animal!

It has been mentioned in several posts in the CCA 2010 thread and on the CCA website itself.
I had some at the ride for $10 each if I could hand them to you or $15 if I need to go sort post and pack. They are still available.
Check the youtube video on the bottom of this CCA web page for an idea of content. That 10 minute highlight clip is also included on the DVD.

I have also just started work on the 2010 DVD today.

Superb ride. Mega thanks to John and the team for the organisation. Only had a couple of lay downs, both at 0 speed - once exiting the stream in the challenge section and once on Hydro Saddle rd. (I'm sure that hydro rd is a lot worse condition than it was on the last CCA). As usual never took enough pics after lunch, but here are a few from the morning

Turbines - zoom in on the pic and you can see some riders - gives an idea of the scale of the turbines.
Cook Strait / South Island / KLR
Cable Bay

Well mate it is the day after the day after and that is when the hurt always sets in. In a week it might be gone haha, otherwise the only fix is to do it all again and use the same body parts.

I know these Ural bikes are still made today and there is a guy that imports them in NZ. I met somebody in coro this summer with a brand new one, sidecar included - they haven't made almost any changes to the bike since the 50's so it looks exactly like a 50's - 60's Ural.

Try 40's BMW. Reverse engineered by the Ruski's from WWII Bmws. Over the past 2 to 3 years they have had things like bosch alternators, brembo brakes, better head studs etc but they are still very close to the 40's BMW's.

Yes, you are right. They are just 40's bmw reverse engineered but I didn't want to start a debate so avoided mentioning this.,

From http://www.imz-ural.com/factory/:

A more likely story is that the BMW factory supplied the construction drawings and casting moulds. As a result of the Molotov / Ribbentrop Pact, transfers of technology had taken place in support of their Soviet "friends" in different areas. Soviet engineers toured German aircraft factories and brought back complete cannons as samples. The OPEL Kadett was given to the Soviets just prior to the war; however, it commenced series production only toward the end of the war as the Moskvitch 400. In 1941, BMW began series production of R75, and did not resume production of R71. Supplying the Soviets with the superceded R71 model may have seemed a good idea at the time.
