New Toy

Some photos of my new bike, a KMZ Dnepr MT-11, taken this this morning.

While it's all there, it will need a fair bit of work before it gets back onto the road.

Drunken Monkey

When I came back from my travels recently I found that my mother-in-law had left me a present. Not a whole bottle, just a miniature, but very nice of her nonetheless.

Knight Moves

As already mentioned in an earlier post I have bought myself a Dnepr 650. I was originally looking for a Ural 650 (similar, but not the same) and came very close to getting myself a Soviet Knight.

The Soviet Knight was one of a number of model variants produced by UK importers Nevals. This was a standard Ural with more of a cruiser feel to it with the addition of higher bars, spotlights, crash-bars, a big padded solo seat, upswept silencers and leather saddlebags.

 

As a styling exercise I think that it worked quite well.
