First MV?

[robrffr]

Ok, although I would really like one of the MV's like we had down the St.Albans yard, ie, Sherman, humber armoured cars, Humber pigs, Damiler armoured car, Dingo, Cletrac, etc, being realistic, I have no room for something so big or ways of transporting it, so thinking of a motorcycle, cos a) I ride them everyday, b) know what I'm doing with them and c) have room ( once I get rid of my Honda CB500), so looking at post war bikes, what are they like? Any common pitfalls? Any to avoid?

Yes, motocycles only have two wheels and no roof. Get A Dodge, they at least have 4 wheels and some roof. :-D

.....or possibly a Land Rover which has 4 wheels, a roof AND doors!

And you get just as wet in the rain from the leaks! The only vehicle with windscreen wipers fitted inside!

welcome rob .i would recommend a ural dnepr or maybe even a chang jiang parts are cheap easy to maintain i have one myself and its my first mv .i have to admit i was brought up on jap bikes and cant get used to anything with a righthand gear change ive tried a friends and naturally use my right foot as the back brake unfortunately knocking it down a gear and trying to throw me over the handlebars.the russians are conventional left hand change alot have reverse gear too. if you fancy something more modern maybe a harley mt350 .heres a pic of my dnepr with ural engine.

Don't want a sidecar outfit, I loath them!! lol!! MT350 sounds ok, cos whatever I get, i want to ride it!! :-D

[oily]
