My favourite image of the Russian

For someone who has ridden on two wheels for (cough) 40 mutter_something years the transition to a side car rig was a challenge.  The challenge was to get the silly grin off my face.  The Russian arrived in July 2005 (it is all Ken Beech’s fault - or so I keep telling herself) and the rest was history.  If you don’t have the Russian disease, you won’t understand, but if you do - well, I don’t have to tell you.

By the way, there is room for 2 cases of beer in the trunk with room to spare for ice.
