Personally, I'd love to see a Ural fielded. With an MG mount.

Dead-Thread Revival.
I had opportunity to try riding a two wheeler on field recently - in dry weather it was great for the low-speeds demanded of it, and had no issues whatsoever, safety wise. However, once a rain storm hit, it was a total train-wreck. If it had stayed dry, or i had knobbies on the scooter, all would have been good.
It wasn't a CT70 though, so not optimal. When i loaded up a bike in the truck, i threw a street-tired C70 (the CT70's bigger wheeled, street-tired scooter cousin using the same motor (I seem to collect these things)) instead of my CT70 which is kind of trapped in the living room (long story). Note, gooey clay mud, and flat tread does not make for one of my more brilliant moments, and is responsible for the latest remodeling of my M4. I was wearing my PAGST.. so no further drain-bamage then that which has been sustained earlier in life. Safety first.
The power output is suitable enough, and I've got another CT70 basket-case in the garage that i'm going to build up perhaps a limited-lean mini-sidecar field rig or a rudy-goldberged tadpole trike setup over the winter, suitably Camo'd for the field, of course. That would handle average conditions safely, wet or dry. I should have enough there to make for an interesting engineering project, and a giggle to play with.
Be nice to have an ATV, APC, SUV or Jeep to play with for airsoft, but my toyota is just too new (for a few years yet) to be a 'technical', so i just ain't going there
You work with what you got, and that just happens to be a goodly pile of parts in the garage.
Wish me luck, or as few as possible broken bones, whichever comes first.
