Looks good! I've had my eye out for an innovate system for ages! We use them at work and they are really really good! They keep saying I can borrow one, but they are quite an expensive it of kit to borrow! Especially when my bike spends a lot of its time soaked and covered in mud

The model I liked was the Soviet Knight. Definitely a Russian version of a Harley. I think I might still have an old brochure of one somewhere.

Used to be a chap from Leeds who swore by em. Garden was awash with the things..he often would turn up at Squires on his outfit and faff about with the top ends an leave oil an gruft all ower the place....
Always smoking huge joints an looked a complete tramp...yet he had a heart of gold an many a time ive fallen in the chair in a drunken heap an we would trundle round Leeds upsetting folk.....
Had 'Riff Raff' an 'Eat sh*t n die' daubed on his battered leather jacket...even the then owner of Squires called him 'Riff Raff'.....

Would never get away with it nowadays

The common Russian. rather than exotic Ukrainian... but possibly the best bike ad ever...
A lovely day down at the arms fair.

Those works riders are really pushing those outfits in the drifts

I know i should not mock the afflicted but seeing they gadgers flying about with an MG on the front just looks like something out of 'Dads Army'... 100 rounds aint much though

I've got an old Dnepr Mt12 (google and youll struggle to find one!) belived to be the only one in the country which is a 750cc SV engine and a rear lockable diff to make it 2wd. Have only owned it a couple of months so far but have basically checked/redone or replaced anything that looked well used. With new replica carb, hours of fiddling, major oil changes andthe odd tweeking this bike is expectionally reliable now! Use it every weekend often upto 100ml trips and it never misses a beat. Can honestly say its the most fun evvveeerrrrr. They are very cleverly made and you can pretty much change/fix anything on it at the side oftheroad with a spanner alone.
They get bad rep from bikers who have never had one and dont even know how to change a tyre so their clearly a reliable biker
Get one you wont regret it Ural/Dnepr/K750 (parts fully interchangable between). Amazing off road too. M

Btw if anyone owns one and fancies a ride put one weekend (plus some green laning) get in touch. Mail eca05rjc@gmail.com i live wakefield area.
