So, onto the bikes. I'm afraid there aren't any pictures of the many GS's there, nor the three Teneres.
Several bikes stood out for me. First off was this pretty standard Ural-



Just so simple. I could see myself chugging about in one of them.
Next tent along had a couple of BMW's outside. One was a Ural with a BMW motor in, and the other a modified R80.



Russian bikes look spot on in utilitarian colours, you can keep your shell suit graphics thanks very much.
What's this? Sidecar on the right hand side?



Ah that means the joy of two wheel drive at the rear. Fantastic. The sharks mouth paint on the sidecar was a rather decadent touch I thought.
Decadent paint wasn't reserved purely for Russian vehicles either, this MZ ETZ had a fantastic juxtaposition of olive green and hand painted flowers and bugs.





British stuff was represented as well, an Ariel Leader smoked crisply in to the site sounding fantastic



and there was an original Hinckley Tiger tucked up with a Cossack on the back slope



I still think the first Tiger's are the toughest and most robust looking.
Finally the best 'til last. A Cossack with a homebrewed Daihatsu turbo diesel engine in.



Sporting also a Morris 1000 front drum as well as a useful tool box (ha stick that in your ornate pipe Kimura), kickstart and clever rear subframe that allows the bike to be split in two for accessing the clutch and gearbox.



Lovely.
