Ural Motorcycles

If you could read Russian you would probably get more out of this but the pictures are a story in themselves. What great roads, NOT.

I hope this works because the pictures are great.

Looked like some CNC equipment of much newer design than the bike it was producing.

I liked the innertubes chained onto the wire basket rims. Wonder if you can get those for a mini-van...

Even without being able to read Russian, that was very interesting. The Ural sidecar rig is tough.

This picture

It states that this guy went in reverse 171 km 200 meters in 8 hours 47 min and 23 sec

two guys went 1014 km in 24 hours changing every hour with the sidecar in the air.

BTW. the wording under the pictures is not in Russian.

This adventure is from a local guy here ...Crazy ol' bugger, but also a hardy guy. Tougher than me, that's for sure.

Thanks, what a great read. I am thinking of the Ural as a second bike.

Was this ride in Alabama or Soviet Union?

Looks likes they are in a Twilight Zone episode. Wish I had the balls to try that adventure.

Always wanted a Ural. Saw them many,many years ago when they were first introduced to the states.

Think they were selling in the high fives or sixes with a sidecar back then. Might have to check out the local dealer, would be neat to

have a modern-retro ride that isn't High $$$ Would be nice sometimes to go at a slower pace and see what I've been missing all these years.

My hats off to these people! :clapping:

Cheers,

Wasn't that Spider and his gang singing " Movin On Up (from the west side)" there in the background ?
