Clay Jones had to

Clay also sent a

Here's a photo link
from Arne Braun where you will see the
bikes that gathered for a CJ meet in Altmerdingsen,
Germany. There was Russian iron and a few Beemers as
well. |
 |
And here's a little
You-Tube clip from the same event, also from Arne.
(There's a number of other CJ videos linked on this page,
too.) |

Two CJS flatties from Shao,
one with very novel valanced fenders. |

Also from Shao:
"Our Tibet trip plan will be ahead of schedule.
Tomorrow, we will be on our way from Shanghai to Xi'an,
and then from Xi'an to Golmud the day after. Our
motorcycle riding will begin in the morning of June 29,
and then back to Shanghai around July 11. There are seven
bikes for this time." |

A new tank graphic?
It says Chang Jiang using traditional
characters, and it could be done in a really nice
two-part vinyl, roughly 5" wide. |

Shanghai." |

Here's a pair of low-budget tank badges I
made from cheesy "rock star" belt buckles I
found on eBay. I had to grind off all the crap on the
backsides to get them flat. That was tricky because
they're made of pewter which kept clogging up the
grinding stone, but we prevailed. They'll go on my tan
bike. |
 |
Sand blasted and coated with stove paint.
This exhaust system is for my wrecked bike. What I'd
really like is another set of empty fishtails so I can
have that excellent straight-pipe sound, but with the
vintage look of fishtails. My previous set got trashed in
the accident. |
 |
From Lutz Kraus: Here's a
Russian postage stamp from 1999 that celebrates the M72! |

Beta is down for the count!
The final drive of John Heim's bike took

This tag probably went on the frame
somewhere. It's from CNAMC, the China Nanchang
Aircraft Manufacturing Company and was sent by Bill
Taylor. |
 |
This undated engine tag is also from CNAMC,
compliments of Bill Taylor. |
 |
These PLA flag stickers came from
eBay. They're way too cheesy to go on the bike, but
they'll be fine for sticking on helmets, etc. |
