I remember it being on the news. It was almost unbelievable how something so tightly held as the Iron Curtain should go away so easily.

Default Brave or what?

The various document couriers here ride motorcycles. Given the snow, ice and cold plus the nominally borderline insane traffic, this has to be one of those thrill a moment things. They dress for the occasion with skid pads, gloves, helmet and all, but still, that has to be one scary job. And the bikes look like they are no strangers to being on their side as much as on the two wheels. The toughest boss bike seems to be the East German IFA MZ bike. This is a single cylinder 250 cc, two stroke, and a name and look I have never seen or heard of before. I also saw a BMW courier bike with sidebars, roll bars and lap/shoulder belts. I hope to get some pics as this is just too much to be believed and those riders have to be a breed apart or have a death wish because they really haul buns and zip around in all conditions. :cd:
