Dick,

Nope, I'm not trying to do that, but feel free to believe it. I've
seen all sorts of people suddenly appear on this list promising "gold"
and often all they can produce is junk or empty promises (nothing at
all). I've also seen this from people of long standing, anyone
remember Carl K.?

I have seen numerous Dneprs and although I'll grant you they are a
curiosity, they hardly come to the level of collect-ability of say a
WLA . . . If you somehow have the "crown jewels" of Soviet technology
and fabrication, good for you. Best of luck getting your price, I mean
than sincerely!

It seems you are very new to all of this so I'll just leave this
subject alone and let you see how many you can sell for $25,000. You
see, I'm REALLY skeptical when someone suddenly, without any other
prior contact, offers a "50% discount" to an anonymous group of people
. . . Hmmmmm . . . LABS comes back to mind! I've seen it happen many
times before here; I don't believe a word you write, talk is CHEAP in
this medium, and all too often lies.

> The bikes are not for sale to you at any price!

That is VERY TRUE, I wouldn't pay any price for them, not ONE cent! I
wouldn't let one take up precious room in my garage, I prefer my
motorcycles to have a V-8 and 8.2 liters (500+ cubic inches) . . . but
that is my personal curse and SERIOUS weakness.

I prefer my military vehicles to be armor, preferably British, but I
could succumb to temptation in the form of Russian/Soviet armor but I
won't be talking to you about one.

Now with NO regard,
