BMW R75 & sidecar

[Heedless Horseman]

Having read up more, those early war combo's were probably Zundapps...the later BMW's used some shared parts. Both were used hard to the end.

And beyond - I understand a lot were appropriated as "reparations" both official and personal!

Not to mention the copies made, licensed or not

Still form the basis of the Russian M/c's which were used as part a rgt Recce Company until at least the 1990's.

So - request M/C combo with WARPACT crew, also Solo M/c similar.

You should stick that in the Korea requests thread! Bet they got sold/gift aided everywhere...

A friend had a reproduction one... 1:1 scale.

Correct !  The motorcycle combo with a thee man crew was a large element of North Korean  recon units.  With the BA64 and Gaz jeep they are sizeable part of that 1950 invasion force, doing point for the T-34s.

As the war progressed they came off badly against UN CAS and encountering the Chaffee and Cromwell used by UN units for recon.  Plus the fact they have bugger all use in the mountains/snow/ice.

The paradox about Korea is that the KPA have the better kit than their Chinese allies, and according to UN vets were less likely to surrender!

The pendraken ones do have the option of machine guns.  I have armed about 1 in 3 of mine.

They only put wheel nuts on 'finger tight' do they ?

Totally barking.....But somehow impressive.

Maybe they put two nuts on the, so the First One keeps the other one on place. I don't  think they'll drive another 100 miles afte there stunt though...
