I'm pretty sure it's not a Ural. they were actually a prety good setup,
they had reverse, though the engines were nowhere near as reliable as a BMW,
and they were completely gutless instead of just being basically gutless
like the older /2 BMWs are.

I don't profess to be an expert on m/c's but that appears to be an Ural
or
it could actually be an old BMW with sidecar.
Ural are a Russian made M/C which looks like a mid 50's BMW with a
sidecar.
I only have seen them with sidecars and the price if I remember
correctly
was about $10000.00. They were all the rage 15 years ago but I think
they
have died out and not even sure they still imported or produced.
Not as cool as Triumph MC but oh well.

TR6 #44
