And a paint job of matte camouflage. A relic of the USSR? Folks from all over stop off at the Savoy Tivoli, Upper Grant Avenue, SF.

stuny Posted June 28, 2010 Share #3 Posted June 28, 2010 Kirk - Terrific shots. I suspect it is a Soviet Ural, and probably based on the BMW R70 that the USSR got licensed to build beginning around 1940. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanetomlane Posted July 2, 2010 Share #8 Posted July 2, 2010 Both nice images. However, it's a shame you didn't move slightly to the left for the first, as the parking meter looks to be attached to the sidecar. __________________________ Regards, Tom Photography by Tom Lane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
