Trip Preparation

The Ural Dalesman is a throwback the 2nd World War, a 1935 BMW R71 German War motorcycle. That will

mean that it will take a lot of TLC to keep it going until I manage to build up the confidence to take a significant tour on it.

       

The Russian motorcycle adventure starts with 2 broken teeth on the final drive sun gear. bummer!!
