Ok, i'm from Russia, and i know the right way to ride this bike: 1-offroad, 2-drunk, 3- with another 3 to 5 people onboard.

Local Austin Ural rider here: I totally agree with your assessment. The Ural is a brutal, unreliable, unintuitive, and downright dangerous machine--but by God that's why we Ural-ers love it. It'll get you anywhere you want to go... Just make sure you bring some extra nuts and bolts for when the existing ones inevitably fall off, some extra oil because the engine seems to be confused about which fluid it's supposed to be burning, and a cup of tea for when you need to give her a little rest by the side of the road because you've been hauling ass at a blistering 50mph for the past twenty minutes because the wind is at your back and things have gotten just a little too toasty.

It's the ultimate around the world adventure bike: constant breakdowns, abysmal top speeds, and a very thirsty engine will force you to stop and socialize pretty much everywhere you go, even when there's a language barrier. But the memories you make on that thing will make you smile every time you think about them, and telling your stories will make your friend and family jealous.

I got a lift in one years ago after a fancy dress party. The rider was dressed as batman and me in a German great coat, jack boots and a steel helmets. We were at the lights when the police pulled alongside window down. "Where you going lads" and I replied Poland. No sense of humour some policeman.

If bikes are all about the fun times I have never heard you guys laugh so hard on a video before haha

The Ural get's even better when u realise its a 80 years old BMW boxer in there

There is an old Doctor that works at the local hospitals. He is a surgeon and in his 60's I believe. He has a Ural, he rides it to and from work EVERY DAY, 365 days a year, rain, sleet, snow, there is literally nothing that can stop that man on his Ural from getting to the hospital!

"It just wants to go straight." Sounds like a perfect drag bike platform. Through a turbo busa motor in it and you are set.

It might not be YOUR favorite bike, but it is OUR favorite bike

"so agricultural"
Camera zooms into Brembo calipers

The shovel is for digging a latrine wherever the rig breaks down—you’ll be there for awhile.

I got my Ural to replace my car, do errands, and ride ALL year round in Massachusetts. Really cool bike

[someguyontheinternet]

I want a ural for two very specific reasons. First because being an absolute dog lover - i would love to be able to take the dog out to the park or get ice cream or something while still being able to "ride". Second being in New England and generally unphased by the cold i think it would be hilarious fun to bop around town on one of these in the snow.

Yammie: "Go, Ural! Get a gear!"
Ural: *"Nyet."*

[phant]

I knew a guy who has one of those and takes his dog for a ride with it once in a while. Probably the best way to take your dog for a ride ever!

[andrewwiltse]

Can you Imagine relying on that thing while people are shooting at you?😀 🎯

[solocarburatorett]

At least the "modern Ural" has a leading link front suspension and disc brakes. Try riding an early 70's one with drum brakes and telescopic forks. Zero brakes and the bike wanders for days, Yikes!

[michawesoy]

"The Ural is not leaking oil. It's marking the terrain"
"If you don't see oil puddle under your Ural in the garage, top him up. Also, be suspicious when fumes from the exhaust aren't blue"


My father had one. Cheers from post-communist country ;-)

Me and my wife done a tour of Cape Town in South Africa on one of these, I’ve been a biker for over 30 years and I’ve never laughed so much on a ride . Every time we stopped at a junction people would stare and point at us and car drivers, bikers and pedestrians would all wave and toot there horns as we went by, an unforgettable experience. I’d recommend it to anyone, like Yammie said you’re not sure about it at first but after a few miles you will be laughing all the way 🤪🤪

[motomuto]

A neighbor of mine has 1 from the early 40's. It has the machine gun mount, and a hand grip for someone to sit in the back.

[AdventurewithLynes]

The image of spite and yammie in the Ural when spite says "Onward Comrade" is the exact image I think of when I think of these two fine gentlemen.
