Couldn't hurt. It's definitely in poor condition.

It's a Ner-a-car, or Neracar in the US, built by Mr. Neracher
("near(ly) a car")

Regarding restoration i agree, but on the other hand it is sometimes good to have some unrestored examples, because a thorough restoration will not let much original material left. And original old Nitro-varnishes are not produced anymore, and may not be used for obvious reasons..

This issue is especially important to aircraft buffs too: where the exact shade of colour of an old 'plane is in doubt then unrestored examples or parts are important. Especially so where the old Luftwaffe RLM (Reichsluftsministerium) colours are concerned. These colours are always the subject of huge debate in aeromodelling circles.

What's this?

From the engine and the 'propshaft' drive, i think it is a BMW. But it somehow is not ... :hmmm:
Chinese or russian replica?

Yes the cylinders are horizontal on BMWs, which is about all I know about motorbikes, and these are so . I'd like to know the names of these machines, as although I'm not a bike buff I do like to look at them.

Looks like a motorcycle with a side car to me.:D

Leave it to me to come up with a simple answer to a simple question.
If you don't ask the right question, then you won't get the answer you desire.

Ural or Dnepr?

Looks like a Ural to me.
:D

Two more bikes, a different show...

Not riding a Trumpet though. Looks more like a BMW.

I agree, where is a pothole when you really need one.

You don't see many potholes in California.
Potholes require water and freezing temperatures to form.
Cali ain't got much of either.

Why do the cops even bother chasing the insaniacs?:-?
