i always loved the old army cossacks. you could find them really cheap and they are awesome restored (as you well show). i never owned one, but always meant to!
but, i also had a thing for late 70's jap bikes (pre-plastic roadbikes) as they were real muscle machines. i enjoyed fixing bikes for many years, until i did it for a job (almost 10 years). they say never do your hobby as a job as it kills it for you, which it eventually did for me. but, can still admire beauty and yours are wonderful to look at. |

I guess I can continue as the Dnepr was based on the military BMW, but my original intent was just to use it as an example of a picture I was able to easily resize. However since you have opened the box.... I got this from a guy in Southampton, UK. The original bike was, as best we can figure from the numbers, a 1957. The engine has been replaced by a Reliant (think 3 wheel British car) 850 water cooled mill with a few mods. Mated to the Russian tranny 4 forward and reverse. About 100 hp. Mini Miinor Radiator in the front of the sidecar. The sidecar is completely custom built. 6 gal gas tank, luggage rack, spare wheel, car seat (seat belt), heater and an opening skylight. Side door and back door lock securely. Sidecar does have a brake, but the rig still does not stop very well. Great for hauling things like the wife, dogs, groceries and more. Maybe I could mount a missle launcher on the top? The Chang Jian is original. Another weapon, the Chinese Jian. Guess I am ok here on this Forum! But, guys, try the Image Resizer on your pics and post weapons more to the EAA Forum! |

Just took a look and it looks very powerful and will do a lot more than Powertoy. But powertoy is free and will do enough for me. If I need more I use Photoshop or Coreldraw. However for $99 ReaConverter Pro looks like a good value and is a lot cheaper than Photsho or Coreldraw! Thanks for sharing! |
