Jan 7th ride cancelled

[Coyote Chris]

Due to inclement weather, the Spokane Chapter of NT Road Dogs (Deuville Owners Group) is cancelling its January 7th ride.
The weatherman said with a straight face this morning, "2-4 inches" We have 6 with an hour or two to go.....
note flash effect off of snow flakes...at least Bijou likes the snow....

We could sure use your moisture, but you can keep the snow.

BURRRR!!!! That looks real UGLY to me, sure glad i m retired and not out haing to deal with that. Snow is all arround me but here is just wet damp and windy , 49 degrees but too much wet to go out althoughI have riding I need to do.
The temperture gage says nice , but when I stick my nose out the back door I run right bck here to my chair!

I don't miss the white stuff at all...

I looked out this morning and was disappointed to miss the ride. Got the snow blower out instead. The 2-4 inches is what we got while shoveling the previous 4-6 inches. Is there a snow blade attachment for a Ural? Maybe I could tell wife that the 2w drive Ural w/ side car is a riding mower/snowplow...
disregard ... overexposure to 2 cycle exhaust.

Hi Joe,

Go over to Cour D Lane, and talk to Lucky Lawrence the ural dealer who is also one of the best HD mechanics arround
He can fix you up with the Ural of Your Choice. Aside from tht he is a good guy, I have sort of known him since the 69-71 tour at beale.

Regards,
Eldon

Thanks Eldon.

Many years ago I saw Ural's at Spokane MC Show. Quite a bit more expensive now. I always thought it would make a great old guy camping bike for the NW. There is a dealer in Spokane now, but I have not stopped yet. I didn't see a Coeur D Alene, ID dealer at the Ural web site.

Looks as if you could have used elizilla's Ural.

Joe,
I have not been there in two, or maybe three years, it is possible that he gave up the dealership for them, He could possibly have retired but I doubt it, he was a about 16-18 at that time in CA, which puts him at about58/ 60 now.

I wanted to stop lasrt year when on my way home from Spearfish etc , but circumstances didn't allow for that., Maybe this yea I will.

Urals are really cool looking...but I would want one without a side car....
There are some good pics on the web of the Russian Ural Museum

I'm not sure that the bike with the blonde riding it is a Ural. The cylinder heads are different from any Ural I've ever seen. Could it be a Dnieper?

It could be a Dnepr, or a Chang Jiang for that matter. Clones of a clone of a clone...

Thanks Eldon.

Stopped in this afternoon ... How can you not stop when they have a driveaway deal out front...

 

[EX Winger]

It might very well be but the Dnepr is virtually identical, look at this 1964 model, since it is a Ural clone...Then the Chang is a Chinese Peoples Army clone of the BMW/Ural/Dnepr... We have the original BMW cloned by Ural, which was cloned by Dnepr, which was cloned by Chang...or a clone of a clone of a clone... I can't tell them apart at any distance and I have a complete Dnepr sidecar sitting in my basement...:rolleyes1:

I wonder how one would look attached to a NT700?

Awful fugly I'd suspect... It needs a more "classic" bike look, without so much tupperware, in my opinion. But if you want to find out I'll make you a good deal to come and get it!

 

[Coyote Chris]

Thanks!!!! Great lesson....anyway, I wish Honda would make one without the sidecar....the bike, not the lady.....
