Fred Bodin submits-
David and Jane Beddus, of Gloucester, parked their Russian-made Ural motorcycle in front of my gallery this morning. When they returned from breakfast, I recognized David as the guy who, two weeks ago, visited the gallery wearing his newly purchased pink sport jacket (from Bananas). The Ural was developed by order of Joseph Stalin in the early 1940s, in anticipation of Adolph Hitler’s army invading the country. This combination design motorcycle follows the 1941 design, and was called the "Cossack." The headlight in front of Jane, David tells me, is where the machine gun was mounted. He calls his military Patrol model "great fun." You can pick one up new in Boxborough for around $16,000. Very cool, comrade!
