Sick of riding the bus when it snows.
I found a dealer who will take my Kymco in trade for a 2-wheel driver in der snowski !!
Can't decide, the silver and black....

* You're too clever by half! YES, it's the Red October Limited Edition model!

Prepare to spend a FORTUNE on broken parts, and delays in availability. There are two here in town, and they are cool as hell but they break welds all over the bikes. Electrical issue that never stop too.
One is a 1940 something, and real cool. The other is one of these repros.
Not to hurt your wishes... Look more into them.
Black No doubt. The silver will look bigger but be much harder to clean all the nooks.
One bike here (old one) is redneck Camo, and the new one is Flat black. Both were re-sprayed in Tallahassee.

Now that dear old Tom is in that big sub pen in the sky.....Moscow has a guy continuing to sign the Red October models with a silver Sharpy on the sidecar, " Tony Klancy"
Still, it is a great book.
Re. the welds.... who gives a carp! It's a majestic looking answer to my city bus issue.....plus it has a 3 year warranty. If it breaks, just bring it back to the warranty boys in Sarajevo. (that's up around Cleveland, I think)

It's in Jersey Stig. Not far from Portland.

You GO, Stig! There are too many of these Ural hacks over here to be all THAT bad. You will be the classiest old "punk" in Ohio! Just think of all that camera gear you can get in the sidecar!

Hey Karl,
OK, I've got Red October out for a test ride....he said, "You've gotta do about a thousand Klicks to really get a feel for it!"
So I swung by the army/navy store and picked up a couple old leather flight helmets for us. No worries, remember that I have your address - I knew you'd be game for a run up to Canada.
They only had ONE RAF helmet....so I got you one with a rising sun on each side.....both of which apparently have been pierced by.....well, looks like it was a 30 caliber.
Wear your flannels....this could get interesting.
Look for me at the end of your drive @ 0-Dark:30.
,I'll fire a red flare at your front door.
Your comrade, Stig

A gal i worked with had one of those odd ball ruski rides. She had a baby seat in the side car. The friggn engine sticks out the sides so watch for that when riding.

Yep. That's why BMW bikes went out of business. Selling toasters now.
