It's the very best 1930's BMW military bike technology available today. These are simply copies of what the Germans left behind in their hurry to leave. Poorly excecuted ones at that. These, and their cousins the Urinals, were sold here locally several years ago. I'm not aware of anyone that has been succesful in keeping one on the road. Parts are very hit and miss, with the "miss" lasting for years at times. When you do get them, as was alluded to earlier, there is typically some "minor fitting" required. What I'm trying to tell you is to stay the hell away from these things; they are just not worth it.

There are lots of cool bikes out there if you really want to get out of the Harley. Or, if you actually like the Harley (like I do) but can't stand the culture of chromosexualism that surrounds them (like I can't) there is nothing that says you have to play along. I just ride and stay away from the Yuppie RUB moron set that has gravitated towards them recently.

Get something modern and reliable, with good parts and service availability. BMW, Guzzi, Triumph, Ducati, KTM, and others make some very cool machines. Machines you can actually ride and use. Look around; just don't settle for a Russian made copy of 70 year old German technology that is sure to disapoint.
