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.

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?
Top of my head I could give 30 reasons why I bought my motorcycle. Those that never try will never know the answer to that question.
I think my answer would be : “Because I could” or “Duh! It’s a Ural”
