Not Just Scrapes

Adam tried to take out the headlight but it was stuck. So they dug around the headlight and realized, it is not just a scrape part. The headlight is attached to something. The trio was left stunned as they saw the wires wrapped around it. It was not just a headlight, it was a whole motorbike buried under the ground. Adam was bewildered at the realization that the object they have been digging up for so long was a motorbike!

Take It Out

Adam could not think of any possible reason why there is a motorbike buried under the grounds of a Russian forest. He knew they can’t back down now. They have come so far, they will not stop before they take it out of the ground. The boys kept digging and slowly the bike became more and more visible amidst the soil and the dust. 

Origin?

The trio continued to dig around the bike until it was completely out of the ground. Looking at the size of the thing, they couldn’t believe they managed to take it out themselves. They had no idea what kind of bike it is and where it came from and how it ended up buried underneath a Russian forest. But they could tell, they are in for a long ride.

Seeking Help

Adam took a picture of their find and posted it on the internet seeking help in finding the origin of this motorbike. He welcomed suggestions from anyone who might have some clue about what motorbike it is or its origin or how it ended up here. They could not make out anything from the motorbike because it was covered in layers and layers of mud and dirt and rust. 

Red October

Adam received a ton of responses on his post. Turns out this motorbike is called “Красный Октябрь” which translates to Red October. It is the Red October L-300. The Russians were encouraged to create something similar to the German DKW Luxus 300. The bike was 80 years old from the period around the second world war. 

Russian Bike

The Russians manufactured this bike in Leningrad, Saint Petersburg. That is why the bike is L-300, the L stands for Leningrad. The plan was to develop only 5 models but they were more focused on the production of arms.
