Soviet Steeds

Yep. I, and St Chad-in-the-Fields, hauled Noah (Waffl6) around during the 2019 BGR in Gettysburg. Fun was had by all and sundry.

Join us at the Blue/Gray Rally (BGR) on 4-6 June 2021.

I have reserved a site for 3-6 June (I’m staying at Chad’s so if someone is coming than they can just use the site. Just PM me)

Sold.

I use the well-regarded RAM X-Grip, double socket arm and handlebar clamp base combination to carry my smarty pants phone on the Ural.

It's not evident that a specific brand is needed in the sense that others won't work as well, or at all.

Does URAL honor the warranty if you do your own basic maintenance? Yes. I tested this twice, indirectly, via waranteed replacement of the fuel tank and the ignition switch. I performed all of the labor; that's no small matter when removing and installing the tank. To hedge my bet if an actual mecha...

What we really need is kit to put an electric motor on the front and sidecar wheels. The drive system doesn't have to propel it very fast, just 5mph or so. It should free spool when the bike is going faster. that way when you are in the slop or n a steep hill, you hit a button on the right grip and...

If your friends dined on nothing more than oatmeal and granola bars, they might consider learning how to pack properly for a trip.

I also wanted to work with my local dealer and give my business in town, and I thought that appreciation would in turn get me a little better deal. I mean, I'm standing there ready to sign the paper work and their sales guy (although nice) wouldn't budge a dollar. A dollar. One dollar to buy the ve...

Barely 1 year after moving here (putting this event in 2007ish), I walked out one morning to see a few unmarked Crown Vics parked at and close to a neighbor's house. An ambulance was backed into the driveway; it couldn't have been any closer to the garage door trim without touching. An LEO was stand...

Not mentioned in the short article is the change in rear brake. But I think the bike in the photos is a test mule at the factory, so that rear brake might be for a later upgrade. Link to explanation and some pictures: https://www.gustomotorbikes.com/ural-euro5-changes I like the redesigned center s...

Ural sidecar outfits are niche products, buzzie, so there may be more give-and-take, so to speak, when negotiating the purchase with a Ural dealer. A black powder coat finish on the engine serves little more than an aesthetic purpose, IMO. I declined it (despite it being offered at a fair discount) ...

For what is presumed to be a one-off design (yeah, there are two evident in one of the article's photos), Herr Luzyanin's effort looks remarkably well-finished. The first thing that came to mind was that der Hamster could otherwise serve as a bit of competition for the evergreen Rokon Trail-Breaker....

My 2016 fuel low light indicator light is pants. Never worked. I paid for an upgrade to the new module and had dealer fit it. Waste of money, worked for a short while. When it did work it was on off on off as the fuel reduced . Then just packed up. Intermittent illumination is normal, particularly ...

COVID has made camping on weekends very popular. I tried to reserve a tent site at Lake Anna for that weekend, but the message "2 site(s) available out of 94 site(s)" appears. The two remaining sites are lodges. Everything else is booked. Do keep us posted on alternative venues, if available. Thanks.

Probable In.

After adjusting the parking brake for proper function, I took the Gear Up in for its annual State safety inspection. The multi-line family moto dealer with whom I've done business for years was recently sold. It's been reinvented as a [rather sterile] ATV and UTV showroom. Thankfully, my favorite me...
