    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Looks pretty intriguing to me. Not a typical hack-job.

Salvageable, both vehicles.

That's a good point. The title is for homebuilt street legal dune-buggy and the bike (Abomination of selection IMO), could get re-titled OR still has a seperate one looks like. The price is a bargain IMO.

I had same exact idea except using the front half of a single seat badlands buggy ( like the SG 2 next gen.)
http://badlandbuggy.com/product-category/shop-buggy-plans/ And would use a watercooled sport-bike or touring bike for rear. (Saves a lot of labor from the buggy build)...I daydream a lot.
 
Why is crap worth $3000??? I done get it Bro?

On a debatable note, where do these clowns get the idea they've produced something of value? :confused:
It looks like about $500 worth of salvage to me.
Somebody could rescue it, but no front brake calipers, no seat, no air box, no shocks, no fenders, just a crap gas tank.

Except for #3 the exhaust still looks decent.

HA! I didn't even notice the lack of front calipers. So sad and so overpriced for what it is.
 
If one of these can be purchased for it's actual value, rebuilding it into something good would make for a nice thread project.
Restoration or genuine performance bike.
 
Sell it back to China, they got money now.
Would probably get attention at any antique bike show.

oh yes, they do but I think they are still making them- (as they are still making "Urals" in Russia (albeit the new urals are said to be much improved,,,)That in fact looks to be a new bike and not manufactured in 1957 at all. bit of a con in that ad I think.

added: yes here's a link

Not funny in the humorous sense (well...) but interesting enough to garner at least a smile. I would ride this, just for the wow factor.

Was thinking, Oh, one of those goofy things with cyclinders sticking out both sides.....

But, ah, no, ah, um, er... Chang Jiang






******** COPY - PASTE ****************
[FONT=&quot]This is licensed as a 1957 Chang Jiang. It has a 750cc sidevalve engine with 4 forward speeds and one reverse. This was originally hooked to a sidecar, but is now a solo bike. This is a little bit like owning a Model A Ford. Not very fast, but is a conversation starter everywhere you stop. Cruises easily at 45mph, maybe a little faster, but definitely NOT for use on the interstate. Do your homework. The CJ750 is a Chinese copy of a Russian copy of a BMW R71.[/FONT]
