	Clay and Jia Yin just returned from a trip to Vitenam where they saw lots of interesting iron. Here they are in Hanoi posing with a Russian Minsk 125cc bike. They rode all over on one of these. It's the bike preferred by ex-pats due to the lack of decent parking space. Clay and Jia Yin were able to melt right into the local traffic.
	This newspaper picture was waiting on Clay's desk when he arrived. The caption (we think) says Taliban in Vietnam. Okay...
	Clay saw a couple of these 250cc BMWs, year unknown. He hopes to add one to his collection. This one is owned by an ex-pat.
	Here it is again. If anyone knows of bikes like this in China, please get in touch with Clay.
	This one is owned by a Vietnamese.
	Take a look at the front fender! Does it remind you of anything?
	A Dnepr solo from the early eighties parked by a cafe in Hanoi. It's owned by an ex-pat who's been there for six years.
	Except for the swing-arm, this bike could pass for an M1S. The owner hasn't bothered to get a license or registration on this bike. Needless to say, he didn't want Clay to take his photo.
	This black early nineties Ural was also spotted in Hanoi. I like that license plate!
	From the front...
	...and the traditional three-quarter view.
	An early nineties Ural police bike.
	The fairing looks like it would be most effective.
	The speedometer appears to have been cobbled on.

	A green early nineties Ural in Hanoi.
	There's your famous Ural bottlecap wheel.
	Looks like this bike could use some new mufflers.
