Not sure what I am doing here, but will try to make this blog about bikes that are a passion of mine and the trials of living in Crimea, as an Englishman. I have been here for a number of years so it is not new to me, but the Russian experience is new. Since the Annexation of Crimea pluses and minuses appear every day, more access to Ural bikes (not too many in Ukraine) as well as a Dnepr, Minsk, Tula and Jawa as well as the next on my list to purchase, an Izh of some description. I love the 50's Dan Dare styling of some of the sidecars.
An Izh Jupiter 2 with sidecar like the one above would be ideal.
Living here has given me a chance to see many strange vehicles and to try and save some of them from oblivion.
Vostok Motorcycles is something I started to sell spares for these vehicles, I noticed that U.K. and other sellers were charging the earth for parts I could obtain for a lot less, so the idea came to pass on that saving and help fellow enthusiasts to keep these bikes on the road. I hope we are still doing that today.
