Well now THAT's something you don't see every day

Sunday, on the way home from helping at a friend's move, I saw a biker. He was on a Harley and kitted out in what you'd consider traditional biker gear - black bucket helmet, goggles, old-fashioned leathers. From the back of his bike extended a makeshift flagpole, from which hung a large 1970s-era bright red USSR flag. More or less like this:



It was, to say the least, surprising. Had we not both been traveling at highway speeds I would have tried to take a picture.

His native camouflage was excellent, then. Though come to think of it I have no idea what Soviet-era Harley-riding bikers looked like.

I ran into a couple. It didn't take that much to manage an outlaw appearance in the USSR, so the look was pretty unspectacular.

And I don't think I saw any Harleys back then -- just a Dnepr or two and some Jawas.
