Help Identifying These Motorcycles

[brownwa]

I've seen some really weird bikes lately. The two I'd like to identify are this vintage 50's bike with a custom exhaust and some awkward, three-wheeled scooter

If I had to guess and that is all I am doing... I would call the old one an Indian... As far as that scooter goes.. The real question is why didn't you kick it over when you seen it... that is one ugly thing-a-ma-jig....

The old bike is more likely a Ural or Cossack - they're Russian copies of the BMW. I believe they're still made today.

Scooter is a so-called vespa/gilera 'mp3'
I just had an article in a magazine which I skipped reading 'cause it's so damn... Yeah is it ugly or just 'different'?

the scooter looks like a snowmobile with wheels
