No, it's the use of nonstandard characters in the URL causing the problem. Try this: http://tinyurl.com/8mwkg

Seen the link before--pretty neat stuff!
I wonder how many countries round the world still use bikes in the armed services? I saw a pic of a Swiss military bike from perhaps five years ago and it was magnificent! The rear carrier modified to carry two standard jerry cans was pretty interesting.
