I saw one at a URAL dealers this week and he told me they will easiily do 90? Any truth to that. I also like the color

I think it will but it's going to take a bunch more miles before I find out for sure. It does have a higher gear ratio than most of the sidecar rigs.
90 on a naked bike like that would be a handful though.

You know you are going to try it.

   Looks GOOD !
now all you have to do is figure out a way to get it to Rolla....

At 90 you couldn't keep that ciggy butt in your mouth.  It's looks comfortable, is it an easier ride than the G-5?

Ask, and you will receive.

Nice!  I like the color, although I think I lean towards the desert tan or black.   Seeing some actual pictures of the red though, I am liking it much more than I thought from the pictures on the Ural site.  I think for myself I'd go with the solo seat and and rear luggage rack option, but that seat looks comfortable.  If I could get another bike right now it would really be a tossup for me between one of those or a C5.

Like most things Russian it's kinda industrial and clunky. Not sleek, sexy and ergonomic like an Enfield.
The tires are going to be a handicap and the rear brake pedal is going to take some work. The seat and bars feel good.
When you start it it wobbles from side to side like a dog shaking off water, nothing I'm used to.

As far as hitting 90 I haven't gotten up there on my Triumph yet and it's been ready for that for a number of years now.
It does get up to 70 in about a half a block though

Now, getting to Rolla. I priced out rental trucks. Ain't worth 800 bucks plus gas.
Looking for another option.

The weather report is looking great (If our press isn't lying to us like usual).
I'm borrowing a flatbed trailer and hoping the tires on my truck hold up for the trip.
I'm not looking forward to this after all the years of giving Mike grief for trailing his bike.

[bob bezin]

well i just might be trailoring my bike  . if indeed it is together. it sure wont be broken in for a ride from tenn. yet . so if is ready i will pick it up and go directly to steelville  if its not ready ill have to take the triumph. 

[baird4444]

cj-  are you bringing the new one??

Yup. Maybe the White Bitch too although I am ashamed at the condition it's in. I've had it almost 2 years now and never cleaned it.
I got to take the truck in for some quick servicing on Monday and then I'll get to start packing.
Working up a day trip too. Got any ideas? I was thinking of using that one we did last year for the first half and working our way over to Salem and coming back the route we did 2 years ago when you got us lost. Looks to be about 100/120 miles with a splattering of good twisties. Take a look at MapQuest and see what you can come up with.

Are you coming in on Thursday?  I plan on getting in Thursday and sure hope the weather holds. 
As far as a ride.........I don't know where we went last year but it sure was fun.  You lead and I'll keep up the best I can.  Looking forward to seeing everyone.

[baird4444]

yes, lets duplicate last years ride for sure...
        Leonard- you might as well trailer it; Hell hath frozen over!!
                 - Mike
           hey--  the spell check is back!!

I'm going to leave Early Thurs. morning. It's about a 12 hour drive if everything goes right.
Being as I'll be in a pickup I'll bring creature comforts.
Yup, getting pumped.
