yeah ...have lose the ' stache too, old Indi had no caterpillar  ;D

PE , you are right,..it  made in India .... I like the military Green one ....
The dealer here is also a Ural dealer ... , and he hosts a Ural Riders Jamboree every year

Ural's are a Russian copy of the German Military M-72  BMW   1st photo

Royal Enfield  # 2 photo

as I say...not for everybody  :-\

So I'm not a bike person, but I gotta say that I like the looks of that Ural bike. It's got an old style look that really appeals to me. Looked at their website and I like their patrol model (sidecar for the wife is about the only way I could ever justify getting a bike).

Hey Major! If you ever go for that R Enfield. Forget the olive drab. Go for the Classic Chrome. It's gorgeous.
Only the 1940s performance has kept me out of one of those. But I have been eyeballing the Triumphs.

@ Jake C and Major 2, also like them old Beemer look alikes, but. Sidecar riding is definetly "not for everybody".







Classic Chrome bellow:

That's nice ....  

The Ural jamboree is in a one flashing caution light town of Holopaw Fla.  that's where the dealer is too
 
I'm about 18 miles west in St. Cloud ( which is  26 from Disney's Mouse ) that said it kinda cool to see these new or in some case older ....1941 Bimmer replica's  ( aside for disk that are ringers for the 40's bikes )
They parade through towm some pulling tear drop camper trailers

By the way the Urals were licensed by BMW to the Soviets in 1940. At that time they were still buddies. It was before the Germans decided to tour the URSS using tanks as passports.  ::)

I had assumed , the Russian's retro engineered a captured German Motorrad

Maybe I had the story wrong. And you were right.
Just take a peek in here.

;D I like that one.

Got the Smith & Wesson 1917 to look the part and I love History.

But, Harrison Ford I ain't. And I'm lousy(read dangerous to myself and others) with a bullwhip.  ::)

Quoting myself always feels good.  ;D

The pictures of my 1917 were at work.

Gotta love the S&W 1917. I desperately want one. Caught between one of those or an 1873 repro in .44-40.

Not a 1917  but a S&W Hand Ejector Model  .... this one circa 1915-16  it has history ...though never fired in anger it was my Dads companion aboard his 32' Launch "Lenape' .
He skippered as part of the USCG reserve Jan 1942- Aug. 1942 , coast watching Lower Biscayne Bay & upper Key Largo...for German U-Boat landings of infiltrators & possible saboteurs ....

That is cool. Did your dad meet Hemingway?
What caliber is that Smith? The 1917 is technically a Hand Ejector Second Model.

He never mentioned meeting Hemmingway ... his favorite book though was the Old Man and the Sea

He did know Desi Arnaz , Al Capone Jr. (Sunny) .... met the Old man Alphonse "Al" Capone once .

and a neighbor of Marjory Stoneman Douglas

Well, Desi Arnaz, and the Capones, mainly the "Old man" are no strangers to me. Marjory I had to look up.

It's cool your Dad met folks the whole Workd knows about. Mainly because at that time the World was way larger than today, when a teenage farting in front of a wired computer can make him/herself World famous overnight.  ::)
