Last summer we headed to the Ural HQ in Seattle to pick up a Ural Motorcycle for a 10-day trip down through the states to Los Angeles. We passed through 4 states covering 2,200 miles, largely off-road on the Back Country Discovery Routes.

With a Ural it’s all throttle and very little clutch. Ural has come a long way. I had a 2005 Patrol and I currently own a 2010 Gear Up. My wife absolutely loves it and when I have my frustrating moments with it and mention to my wife, I think I’m going to sell it”, she loudly says,”No!!!” 😄 Ural is the most fun you can have in a motorcycle but it requires allot of tinkering. Not a big deal, it just the nature of the machine. Owning a Ural is a lifestyle. It’s not for the shy type as it’s a magnet for curious folk. It’s all good….

На этих мотоциклах меня маленького катал отец, теперь я учу свою дочь (14 лет) управлять Уралом. Очень приятно видеть что на другом краю земли есть люди которые любят наш Урал!

I have a Russian friend that lives near me here in the United States. I expressed my interest to him about Urals. He said he wouldn't get one. I think I'll still get one especially a new one.

The scenery is absolutely stunning, and you didn't trash mouth the Ural. I'm going to take a serious look at getting one for myself. I've been looking at them for a few years now anyway. I had a Globe sidecar hooked up to an old Beemer several years ago, soooooooo. I'm 75 years young, so a sidehack makes sense to me! Have fun on your rides, and yes, make as few rides on the interstates as possible.😂

@@christopherchapman7453 это очень простой мотоцикл, его нельзя убить. Если есть запчасти, то его можно отремонтировать даже прямо на дороге, достатосно иметь прямые руки. Урал может служить хорошему хозяину всю жизнь. Раньше у нас в каждой деревне, почти в каждом дваре был Урал или Днепр и это были не игрушки а техника-помошник. На них возили с поля картошку и зерно, сено для коровы, детей в школу и жену за покупками в магазин. Сейчас их мало используют. Мотоцикл с документами можно купить за 50 тысяч рублей, без документов на ходу - 20 тысяч, донор для запчастей или под восстановление - 10-15 тысяч рублей. Мой Урал не так блестит краской, но это лучшая техника если хочешь проехать там, где другие не проведут.

that bit in warren reminds me when I was hammock-camping my way through the west on a 2000 Yamaha V-star 1100. was in NW Oregon on some mountain byway, stopped at a rest area for the night. it was 70 something during the day, but it dipped into the 20s at night. I put on all my clothes and sat under the hand dryer in the bathroom at the little rest area I was camped at. it wasn't fun. I didn't realize how cold it was until I got up early the next morning and saw a quarter of an inch of ice on my bike.

hi im going to be getting a ural but ive been trying to get an answer about how is the ural two wheel drive in snowy conditions? does it travel well on snowy roads?

@TheSidecarGuys 11 ай бұрын

Hi Hunter! In our experience, a Ural is great on snowy roads! But you wouldn't want it to be in 2WD constantly for this, there is no differential when in 2WD meaning the Ural just wants to go straight. 2WD is really used if you get stuck or something but 99% of the time it isn't needed. But would definitely be useful if you were really struggling in the snow. Hope this helps!

@@Hunterlp2022 No problem! Are you thinking of taking it off to ride solo? It's possible but we certainly wouldnt recommend it. A ural is built with a sidecar in mind meaning it handles great with a sidecar but would not be good to ride without a sidecar.
