Hi all,

I'm new to this Land rover lark, have owned a 4x4 before and am currently the owner of the Land Rover of motorcycles.....

I'm looking to be the owner of a defender at some point next year and am looking to get as much advise about these beasts as possible. I'm planning an overland trip to Slovakia next year with camping and some mild offroading so all advise and tips are welcomed...

Looking forward to hearing from you all..

Chris.

A URAL, y'know, one o them eastern-bloc motybikes what are as basic as a Landy, can go off road, and even have a 'reserve' gear

AKA the Cossack But I never knew they had a reserve gear?? is that for emergencies only or summat. Mine had a reverse gear as well as the reserve one.

Nope but with that fooking huge sidecar hanging off em they weigh a fair bit. Think 2nd WW German Army bike & sidecar combo. The Russkis copied em and added about 250kg extra weight to the fookers.
