About three weeks ago I got a tip from my bud Vernon Wade about a used Ural up in Washington State. Then I had another bud, Dave Hooker, go take a look at it. Turns out this thing was in fine shape (only 1k miles), except for the damaged tub. Evidently the previous owner's Son asked his Dad to take it for a spin, and inadvertantly tagged the Dad's pickup bumper while going down the driveway. Must have been a helluva smack as you can see!
I snagged it (thanks for letting me borrow the trailer Joe!), brought it home, and took the damaged tub to a local body shop, Evers Auto Body. I finally got the damaged tub back from said body shop after almost three weeks. They did a really good job as you can see, so was worth the wait. After having this machine for almost three weeks, I am finally able to drive it around. What a blast! I still need to bolt up the tub's windshield, tire and tire rack, otherwise she's good to go! Still need to come up with a good Russian nickname (aside from Urinal!).
And thanks to Vernon Wade for finding this gem, plus Dave Hooker for helping me get it! Now if I can just convince some of my riding buds to get a sidecar rig too.

You don't stop riding because you grow old, you grow old because you stop riding.

With the windshield, spare tire and rear rack mounted, here's the final product. Sure is fun to drive!
Thinking about naming her either Queen Latifa or Shaniqua. Why? Because she's slow, clunky, big, black and [literally] has junk in the trunk!
That is unless I can come up with a crusty, Russian-female name.

I have never seen a side car like this before. It’s really cool!

Well, that's a beauty! And a thread resurrection!
