Goodbye, My Russian Friend – Safe Travels
When I bought the Ural, I had no idea what to really expect. It was something that I was curious about and approached it with a “why the hell not?” attitude. In hindsight, it...

Holy crap! My mom’s friend stopped by on his Ural. His front rim split and separated on the trip over to the house. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be holding together by sheer...
When I got up and let the dog out this morning, it didn’t seem especially cold out. So, after having two cups o’ joe, I decided to suit up and ride over to the...
On Sunday we set off on our annual Santa Ride and it was glorious. Once again my daughter Chloe reprised her role as my sidecar elf. It always amazes me when she chooses to hang...
It turns out that Lilo is nervous about riding in the sidecar. I’m pretty sure it’s the noise. Hell, Lilo Puppy Dynamite™ is scared and runs out of the kitchen when I rip tinfoil...
We’ve had a setback on the Lilo Sidecar Dog front. During her first vet visit after adopting her, we discovered that she has heartworm. All told, the treatment for heartworm takes months. During the course, Lilo has...
There are few things as soul crushing as hearing something fall over in the garage followed by the cavernous echo of whatever that thing was bouncing off of your sidecar. Then when you walk into...
When you’re out alone on the either the Enfield or the Ural, questions or conversations are to be expected when you stop. People are curious and I get that. When Kenny and I go...
Unless you’re a free and single bachelorette (…or bachelor, I’ve heard they let guys ride motorcycles now) the idea that you need to balance your motorcycle ridin’ with spending time with the important people...
…but probably not much less. Which is just the way I like it. You’re so cute, Ural. 🙂 “Learn about improvements in acceleration, handling, braking and fuel economy at www.imz-ural.com/2014“
The Ural is mostly dressed for the winter. It’s donning its silver wreath on the rack and all is right in the world. As it turns out, I had to do a little repair...
Today is the last day of November. And as such it is the last day of BEDN (blog every day in November) so I’ll stop bothering you 🙂 Tomorrow when December comes knocking I’ll...
The temperature crept up to nearly 70 degrees today. That’s kind of unusual for a November day. You bet your boots I was only too happy to load my monkey Chloe into the Ural...
I’ll give you a minute to soak it all in. A giant Suzuki TL1000R, the Ural and…. a dragon. *Runs away squealing* 😀
If you aren’t familiar with Long Island you might be surprised to find that the eastern end has lots of farms and wineries dotting the landscape. Often during our rides we find ourselves pulled...
I finally picked up a copy of American Borders by Carla King. It is the saga of her circumnavigation of the United States on a then newly imported Ural sidecar rig. In just the...
We will come to your town! We will kick some ass! …assuming we don’t break down on the way. 😀 Oh. In case you were wondering? Slowest drag race EVER!
Watching “Signs,” featuring a scene with Mel Gibson’s Graham Hess, sparks a reflection. People either view lucky events as signs and miracles, suggesting a protective presence, or attribute them to mere chance, leaving them feeling alone and fearful. The film prompts the viewer to consider whether life events are mere coincidences or something more. Which perspective resonates with you?
While I was at Ural of New England last weekend, I got a Ural Yamal tshirt. Olga, proprietress and fabulous lady, designs the shirts that are for sale in their shop. LOVE! What the...
