From the drivers side
From the passengers side
On my way to do laundry today I spotted Dan pulling his rig out of his garage, getting ready to go for a ride. Had enough time for a quick chat and a few quick pics.I believe he said that this one is a 1962 model. Last time we'd talked it started poring down rain just as he had arrived home. I misunderstood that he had two rigs, his other bike is a solo BMW. I told him about the newer DNEPR rig I'd spotted earlier in the month in the neighborhood, wasn't his. As it turns out he knows Mike, another local who is constructing a sidecar to hook up to a BMW. Mike must regret selling his earlier rig. I'll have to see if I can get some pics of that one. This bike has electric start, which started it up instantly, and he was puttin' down the road.
Was a beautiful day today, was wishing I had one of my rigs operational....another project.
Nice tidy outfit. Been gathering bits and pieces to put my own Dnepr (solo) back on the road for the summer, but currently far too cold to venture out to the shed.
ReplyDeleteQuite an unlovely motorcycle Laz, but you can't kill the bastards, the two wheeled equivalent of AK47, and great outfit bikes, good stuff.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they don't win pretty bike contests, but oh so handy for haulin' the groceries. Seems to be a proliferation of them happening in my area...
ReplyDeleteDuring a recent snowstorm the local news interviewed a guy in a Ural toolin' around town. Pretty cool. (actually cold.)
ReplyDeleteI believe they are equipped with a two wheel drive option.
