I've got a 1994 Ural Tourist I bought used around 1996, I bought it from a guy in Washington state, at that time I lived in western Montana. I believe it was the first one imported by Ural America. I haven't ridden it much since I moved to Jersey but I had a blast riding it in the mountains of Montana. A buddy of mine bought three Russian Federation Urals made in the mid 1970's new in the crates and snuck them into the US across the Canadian border late one night. back then the small border crossings were maned only during the day. He applied for titles from some southern state and got them.

 On January 1 there's an annual New Years Day ride in Missoula, My buddy Brett and I would screw short sheet metal screws on the knobbys and ride the 30 miles to Missoula to make that ride, it was a hoot.

I saw a Ural hack when I was driving to pick up my insurance check this morning.  It looked like he was geared up and heading to the mountains for a week of fun.  :)
