Ural on the way to Modesto

[callison]

The wife, 3 Guzzi's and I stayed in Santa Rosa, New Mexico last night. There was a Ural parked out front of the hotel and this morning I got to talk with the two adventurers that were riding it. Mike and Ed from London, G.B., air-freighted a 2005 Ural sidecar to the USA and have 11 days to cross the USA and then deliver the rig to the Modesto, California dealer. This is a demonstration trip to show that the Ural is a much improved vehicle and can make the USA transit with no break-downs. So far so good.

 

They're supposed to hit Modesto on Saturday, 16 July. Hopefully, their ride to the San Franciso airport for Sunday will show. Joe, I gave them your phone number just in case. Heh, heh, heh. What goes around, comes around. They're really nice guys. The trip is supposed to be covered on the ural.com site, but I didn't see any mention when I just checked.
