Verne,
Thanks for the comment. You are right 150 %! As a proud Canadian, they also
fit the bill.
As for the "tracked" motorbike, I have access to a Zundapp one from the
1940's if you are interested. I think that I even have a pic of it if this
is what you are looking for.
Waiting your reply,
Mark Zurevinsky

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your nice reply. I think it is very funny that you and I have
some of the same attitudes. The first thing I do when I get to Russia, or
any other foreign country for that matter, is get away from the other
Americans. They come to foreign countries and act like fools. I have
witnessed a grown man in Bora Bora threatening a young, terrified, hotel
desk clerk, because she could not tell him the football score. I did
intervene in that one, I don't usually get involved. I have seen
Americans, arrive in Moscow, already three quarters drunk from the flight,
then go out and party until three in the morning, flashing wads of cash and
shooting off their mouth, then they get robbed and decide Russia is a
dangerous place. Amazing. This is true. I swear to you that this is a
true story. Do you remember the much touted story of the American Hotel
executive in Moscow that got a shot in the head? Our own American Embassy
told me that he was a whacko. When Clinton was visiting Moscow he threw a
shit-fit that he wanted to see Willie and he wanted all kinds of
things. The American Embassy thought he was a pain in the butt. I never
stay at that hotel. The Americans stay there and I want no part of it. I
stay at a very nice, modest, clean, safe, hotel.
Anyway, enough of that. Don't get me wrong I am very Pro-American and I
love my country but I think Americans, as tourists and foreign business
people, can be very rude and foolish.
Mark, do you know what a Kettenkrad is? It is a WWII German half-track
motorcycle looking thing. If you happen to see one or two around can you
tell me about them? I know your busy and please don't waste a lot of time
on this request. If it is easy to do then "Thank you" and if it is
difficult and you don't want to for whatever reason, then "Thank you" for
taking the time to answer me.
Best wishes and please keep me on your mailing list. I have friends in
Odessa, where are you?
Verne Valentine
