| A quick test ride on my buddy's Dnepr after some repairs. This thing is a BLAST in the snow :) It has a BMW R75 engine and 2 into 1 exhaust. It is 2WD of the open differential type (non-locking / full-time) and we just installed studded knobby tires on it for the winter. The appearance of a near tip-over was merely caused by the sidecar wheel catching a solid block of hard snow and having no weight in the sidecar, it came up easily. The fumbling for reverse, however, was completely my fault. Dnepr has reverse in the opposite direction of my Ural transmission. Now I know! I have only ridden this rig once before and it was only for a couple of miles on the street. Thanks for watching. |
