Ran into an old club member at Cultus, Paul Steenblock. He sounded like he was doing well, was riding a really cool bike, a 2010 Ural with his fiance in the sidecar. Still has several cruisers also.
Hehehe, the Russian made Ural was just like everything else Russia made, simple, indestructible and easily repaired with a hammer and an adjustable wrench but far from comfortable, fast, quiet or luxurious. They have brought them back a couple years ago, they used to be military and civil worker bikes. Damn things probably still have the surplus engines and just like the SKS will continue running till the planet runs out of oil.
Some history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMZ-Ural
Lol a guy I know that was the only bike he ever crashed on it didn't like the sea to sky with the side car didn't quite handle the way his triumph speed triple did.
Could that have been due to the way he was riding it? Any bike with a side car can't be ridden the same way as without. Not like you can lean into a corner ....well...you can into one side but the result is not a pleasant one.
