Wearing a baseball cap front to back is an offense on its own.

Its proper old design with drum brake front and seems to be a single cylinder. No visible exhaust on the left side The Russian urals were flat twin bmw looking things. I cant see enough of the engine to identify it. gearbox looks distinctly British, but it could be a jap single cylinder retro. maybe Kawasaki Estrelle?

Saw a few in a shop out near the airport, along with some 1970 Honda 250/350 twins. I think it was around 6k for the ural and sidecar. they had a pair
