I have a Czech buddy that I ride with all the time; he grew up in Czechoslovakia through the '50's and '60's. With a couple brothers and a sister, an old Harley army bike with a sidecar was their "family car". It was all his dad could come up with. There were thousands left behind when the allies went home. The more "equal" in the local communist hierarchy got the abandoned Jeeps and trucks. My buddy escaped in the early '70's for a better life here. Still rides a Harley, too.

Hey, if you can really get parts (you will need them...) then go for it. It would be a fun rig, ownership problems aside. If you don't have to depend on it a lot of those issues become moot.
