"Sandy" 2007 Ural Patrol

Going on 17 years of ownership from new and after perhaps close to 40 motorcycles of all shapes, sizes and brands (Honda/Harley/Suzuki/Yamaha/Kawasaki/BMW/Triumph/Benelli/BSA) this has been a lifetime of fun & experience and the longest vehicle I have owned over time including automobiles. A real fun build over the years and NJ Pine Barrens tested many times over. It's set-up for off-road but is just as enjoyable around town doing errands or riding to the Dog Park with my Beagle "Justice". It's reliability was a surprise as long as you maintain and service and learn about this quirky Russian-built sidecar rig. It's also been one of the most fun off-road vehicles I've ever owned, re-opening a "blast from the past" world to me that I had not experienced since my dirt-bike days as a teenager. Add to that this model is 2-Wheel drive when needed and has reverse... Best of all worlds. And as far as simplistic... like an old Chevy or Ford to maintain.
