The stars aligned and I made it! I threw the spares in a bag and bungeed them to the seat. I asked several times for an oil filter so I could change the break in oil soon. They said ok, but then we all forgot. T-shirt? nope. Catalog? nope.
Two flaws so far. I felt a slight wiggle every time I started. Traced it to a defect in the rear wheel. Looks like it wasn't welded quite right. Also the chrome is peeling from one mirror, but those have to go anyway. Nice view of my elbows. I'm thinking some nice chromed bar-end mirrors.
I really love this bike! I just wiped it all down. Nothing loose so far!
Oh yeah, the headlight was aimed at the moon. Probably set while on the centerstand with nobody sitting on it. Pulled out my screwdriver (included) and adjusted it. No part removal required!
For decades I have seen letters to magazines begging for simple, standard motorcycles that include real tool kits, centerstands and all those things that used to be part of motorcycle ownership instead of plastic covered high tech rockets that can do "the ton" in 1st gear. Well folks, here it is. BTW, the United inflight magazine had a full page "article" (ad) for the Ural.
