Nice Rig GHG!
WOW, BEST CJ I've seen. Is that one of the refurbished ones I've seen advertised? love the polished cases. WAY Prettier than my old 1994 Ural. Got a great buzz from the pix THANKYOU!
PS I'm using a CJ headlight ring on my G5 Deluxe.
Thanks Boys. And yes, it is one of the refurbished military bikes...The oval tube frame is the give away I believe. I'm not sure of the builder, but it appears to have been done right. I got it from a guy for a pretty good price. WHO bought it from the guy who imported it, and just let it sit. I pretty much got it as you see... just a little elbow grease. As you probably know Craig, the CJ, Dnepr, and Ural are very basically the same bike, with different refinments over the years by the differnt manufacturers. The CJ seems to be the closest (especially the flathead) to that original design by BMW.....I believe it was the R71? Which was sold to the Russians during the non-aggresion pact prior to the war. ScooterBob is a great historian with these, BTW.
That middle picture was taken by my nephew . My Older brother past away this spring, and I used the bike as a flower car at the head of the procession. He loved the bike, and sidcars in general...... he was a disabled Vietnam vet, which got him in the end at 61. And in his last few years was unable to ride on two wheels. So... sidecars became more appealing to him. But even they were too much. But I like how my nephew caught the image of the priest and the Bugler from the 1st Calvary (his unit) that the Army sent.
