Too bad that Kristof, who posted several excellent ride reports from Russia, has had all his posts deleted.

I should have added to my list above,

- check to make sure all your branch tubes are seated.

About 15 years back, a small group of URALists left the Irbit factory and travelled through Northern Russia, possibly Siberia, taking pics all along the way, with a really good narrative? Does anyone still have a link to that adventure, if it still exists? Have you done a search in Ride Reports? It...

Welcome and looking forward to seeing more from that part of the world.

OMG! Now that’s how you tell a good story. With everything going on it was a joy to actually laugh

He was a good guy and is missed by those who knew him.

If any and all Ural owners don’t take advantage of this extraordinary generous offer then you’re a fool. Better than any extended warranty you could ever purchase. You’ll find no more honorable a man than Van who is good to his word. Van had stepped up, now we need the community to do the same for a...
