Price drop update: $150 for the pair of tires. These were originally meant for my BMW R75, I believe. Message me if interested.

Sold!

For sale is my 2006 Ural Patrol. Being sold as-is in downtown Toronto. The bike ran perfectly until last week when the engine started to make a grinding noise. Mike @ Old Vintage Cranks said this may happen when I took the bike in last spring, and it looks like it just happened. We just had a...

No, I don't do anything special with the battery. I keep it in a garage overnight, where the temp hovers around 0 degrees. Then, 8 hours outside during the day. During very cold days I'll do a few kick starts, then pull the choke and it cranks right away. 95% of the time, though, just choke and...

eoszlak, it would be scary going out there without the third wheel. It's fun to drift and slide around corners, as long as no one's around or parked nearby. The alley is around Bloor and Ossington, and work is nearby at Adelaide and Spadina. Lots of fun! The video's not super exciting, but now...

I still ride every day, and yesterday's snow was no exception. Took the Ural to work at Spadina & Adelaide, and then decided to make a quick video of putting her into the garage. Lots of fun, though had to engage two-wheel drive to not get stuck in the snow...

Agree with you 100%. The top speed is limiting, especially on longer trips. We have to find side-roads and even on those, 90km/h - 110km/h seems to be the top speed. Quite scary on the larger highways. But, like you wrote, cars certainly respect you more than with a standard motorcycle.

Sunspark, I bought it used two years ago and have ridden it pretty much every day since. It was in good condition when I bought it and remains in good condition. Aside from oil changes, I've had to buy one part - my oil pump drive gear stopper fell off while riding home. It seems to be an issue...

I also had an older 1975 BMW R75/6 leaning sidecar, built by Gary Kramer, before the Ural. Didn't ride her in the snow, as she was more gentle than the Russian, but a lot of fun. Here she is: http://eatsleepride.com/c/19782/bmw_r756_tourer_with_leaning_sidecar

So I'm the owner of that stranded Ural. I feel terrible for leaving her there all this time. Here's the story, which hopefully answers some of your questions. I ride the Ural all year. In the winter I ride in the city, unless it's icy. That particular day was cold, but with a full-face helmet...

Hi everyone, this is Garry Kramer's old sidecar. I rode it for several months and had a blast, but wound up getting a Ural for some travelling that I did with the girlfriend this summer. The Ural is a brute and was great off-roading, but this leaner sidecar is something else, a delicate BMW that...

Heading out Friday morning to a music festival near Perth, ON. Planning on taking non-highway route through Port Perry, Peterborough, Hwy 7 eastbound. On the way back, planning on heading south to Prince Edward County. Does anyone have any recommendations of memorable places to eat along the...

Re: I Saw You, Are you on this forum? V.2.0. Strange, I had a 1974 Honda CB750K with a 5 or 7 length VIN and ran it by the insurance co. and the MTO with no problems. A VIN is a VIN - it's the ministry's problem, not yours, that they can't run a check on it. Perhaps try another location, or...

Would love to know if any sports bars are covering the race, as well.
