The listing of a web site address below does not mean that
the C.O.C. necessarily agree with the accuracy of the content of
that website or recommends the products (except Urals and other
motorcycles from the former USSR of course!) that might be sold
there. However we do strive to list those relevant web sites
that would be of use and interest to our members, many of these
sites will lead you onto many others also of interest.
Do not believe all that you read on some of these websites,
particularly with regards to the myths and legends related to
the relationship between the M72 and the BMW R71.
NB. Computer Viruses - whatever web site you visit on whatever
subject, remember that the site you have found is putting files
on your computer, whether you want them all or not! If the sites
are reputable sites then there
is no special problem. However if you are going onto some
obscure foreign web site found by searching on e.g.: "Voskhods in
Tibet" (no offence to Voskhod owners or Tibetans intended),
originating in some remote country, then you may well pick up a
virus for which there is not yet an anti-virus cure over here.
Advice - keep your anti-virus program up to date, run frequent
scans for viruses, back-up your computer weekly or when-ever you
have generated significant and important files - take good
advice if in doubt.
