Why Did You Buy the Ural?

I’m surprised by the number of times I’ve been asked “why” or “what made me” buy the Ural.

Aren’t most motorcycle purchases here in the US driven by desire, by passion, by the love of what they are for their own sake?  I feel like the question of why tips the hand of the person asking – that they may not follow their own whims all too often.

Why did I buy the Ural?

Why not?

Because I wanted to.

Because it’s f’n awesome!

    Like anyone needs an excuse to buy a motorcycle! I agree, why not? I can think of one simple answer to that, because its fun and who doesn’t like fun things?

    Great photo, nice touch with the wreath.

    I think you stated this very well and it goes well beyond motorcycle purchases to just about everything from phones to homes.
