    Official 2014 SS Ga. Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Dnepr and Oeral bike are sold here but if it is old stuff, getting parts here would mean the veteran circuit and they are not cheap either, if they have it at all. Then again, this new russian stuff is often identical to the old russian stuff, who knows.

    Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR14 thread

    Help????? I tried to find the travel thread but even google and looking at my own recent posts came up empty? Maybe too exited to do it good (the steak and the Czech champagne bubbles does not make me work better). Maybe a link in the first post to all related threads?

    TATRA or other parts needed from Europe Who needs parts from European trucks, especially Tatra or other Czech stuff or GAZ? I have a 23 Kg luggage allowance, and for $ 75 another 23 kg, as long as it is not too bulky. I need about 5-8 kg for my personal stuff, so can bring some stuff to the...

    If a crazy Dutchman from the Czech Republic can make it, what more excuses do you need?

    Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR14 thread

    OK. It's final (barring sickness or the DHS). Things were stringing out here like there's no tomorrow with all kind of lines crossing etc etc, making decisions difficult. Whatever, we had a long talk about it and a hard look at the tight finances but I got the blessing of the CiC. She...

    Lets talk about brakes...please

    I made an emergency stop when the DoT inspector asked me to on a test ride. I warned him that it might be too good. He would not listen so almost hit his head to the windows when I stopped the truck extremely good and quick. That is not the point. The system functions perfect even today...

    Whats this mean? NLOVHK

    Why NL, looks, more to NI to me. All the posts mention the letters in capitals, so if that is the standard, it looks more a capital I then a capital L. NL is the abbreviation for Nederland, or the Netherlands :-P

    Lets talk about brakes...please

    Like the posts above, the main reason for me (M51A2) to want to upgrade before going on the road is the single circuit. The problem is not that in itself the brakes are not good enough to stop the truck when all is OK. The basic problem is that even a new system can blow a seal or break a flex...

    Official 2014 SS Ga. Rally t-shirt thread (14SSGR). Get yo' shirts.

    The first thing I do is cut those irritating tags off from all my new cloths. I know how to wash them (just trow them in the machine). First time in all my life I needed to know what size it is. In Europe, I would say 3XL but it is longer and wider around the belly then most common European...

    Official 2014 SS Ga. Rally t-shirt thread (14SSGR). Get yo' shirts.

    So 2XL is the biggest standard size you order? What does that translate too? Here in Europe, I mostly take the biggest available, but T-shirts are always small here. I am 189 cm (like 6' 2"), 230 lbs and hate t-shirts with tight collars.

    SS MV of the Month - September 2014

    I will nominate my M51/52A2 once it is ready as I like it and when its fully functional. Aiming for a landslide win then, not for an "also run, more or less, actually parked for two years" now.

    M51A2 multifuel engine horsepower

    Did a 463 ever existed? The 465-1 has a 126 HP variation and a 176 HP version; not sure which one I have if I have a 465 and the 463 is a typo.

    M51A2 multifuel engine horsepower

    To answer my own question, probably the same year of overhauling the engine and manufacturing the truck is a coincidence. Probably the engine was stored and then put in this truck when needed, not immediately in 1973 as I first suspected.

    M51A2 multifuel engine horsepower

    Lds 463 - 1 update on a mystery Update on this old thread, with new pics. I am applying for Czech papers, and now really want to know what engine I have. It looks the original dates poured into the block itself and the ID plates on the engine state this is an 1965 engine overhauled in 1973...
