    Not funny in the humorous sense (well...) but interesting enough to garner at least a smile. I would ride this, just for the wow factor.



    1984 GS1150ES (finally arrived, more to come...)
    1989 Dodge Dakota (the perfect Oregon work truck)
    1980 Sears "Free Spirit" bicycle (original patina and everything!)
    1978 "The Executive" RV (vintage like its owner)

    How can I be in two places at once when i'm not anywhere at all?

    Can I double park in a parallel universe?

      You don't want to use the front brake anyway, ... you'll go over the handlebars.

          Sell it back to China, they got money now.
          Would probably get attention at any antique bike show.

            oh yes, they do but I think they are still making them- (as they are still making "Urals" in Russia (albeit the new urals are said to be much improved,,,)That in fact looks to be a new bike and not manufactured in 1957 at all. bit of a con in that ad I think.

            added: yes here's a link

                  Was thinking, Oh, one of those goofy things with cyclinders sticking out both sides.....

                  But, ah, no, ah, um, er... Chang Jiang






                  ******** COPY - PASTE ****************
                  This is licensed as a 1957 Chang Jiang. It has a 750cc sidevalve engine with 4 forward speeds and one reverse. This was originally hooked to a sidecar, but is now a solo bike. This is a little bit like owning a Model A Ford. Not very fast, but is a conversation starter everywhere you stop. Cruises easily at 45mph, maybe a little faster, but definitely NOT for use on the interstate. Do your homework. The CJ750 is a Chinese copy of a Russian copy of a BMW R71.

                  Had 850G for 14 years. Now have GK since 2005.

                      You reach down with a pair of pliers and squeeze. Of course, that would only be with one hand, unless you're really brave.

                        yes, at $3995, it needs to be a lot more fun to ride than an unmolested 400 . still, at least it's not matt black everywhere.....I always wonder what happens to these and if they do actually sell. I have yet to see one on the road but maybe I am notstopping at cool-enough cafes.

                          That is one of the better looking "cafe" bikes I've seen, but me at 6'4" I make my 1100G look smallish. I'd make that look child size.

                            Typical "project". Started and never finished. Why the first thing they do is cut the frame?





                            1980 GS1000GT (Daily rider with a 1983 1100G engine)
                            1998 Honda ST1100 (Daily long distance rider)
                            1982 GS850GLZ (Daily rider when the weather is crap)

                            Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.
