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.
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...
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...
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...
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
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...
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...
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.
Any thread on the restoration or more pics? I am restoring a 1953 NSU at this moment. Indian always fascinated me more than Harley; it's the better bike
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.
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.
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...
That would be an idea. In January or February, make a special vote ONLY between the winners of last year, contending which of the twelve winners of 2014 will be the MV of the year 2014.
