Thanks Don.

Thinking about motorcycles in general, I suspect that a few more motorcycle units could be added to winspmbt.

Communist bikers

It is possible, for example, that motorcycle units are missing from a few Communist bloc OOBs. There are motorcycle units in the East German (i.e. obat36/ Unit 239) and Russian OOBs, but some other Warsaw Pact countries may need them as well. Czechoslovakia, for example. A 1960s photo of Czechoslovak M-72s:

Poland may be another example. Some photos of Polish M-72s:

Taliban bikers

In more recent times the motorcycle has been used by the Taliban (obat22). They’ve been used by groups of fighters and by scouts.
