Soviet Steeds

Got told when I got into these machines that they ain't highway bikes........not if ya want them to last any amount of time. So, I plan my trips to stay off the highways as much as is possible. Sometimes I have to, but only for a couple-a-few exits, and then I'm back to surface streets. And if I hav...

Shooting a $300 lock with an untold number of very pricey .50 cal rounds..........just to show it can be done?
Must be nice to be rich.......

Never did the FB (or any of those others) and do not intend on playing in those cesspool's. I'm good right here, thanks.

Pretty cool. But I'm thinking......tracks would work better. Concur. I think I would attempt to utilize the new Australian swingarm and final drive to deliver power to the tracks on each side.
