Info

The second day of ownership was spent poking around the bike. I discovered why thespare tire and rear rack were bouncing so much. The four bolts holding the mountingbracket to the trunk were not tight. Good thing nylocks were used or we would have had a“flying bike tire incident” for Cam Wooley to report! Other than cleaning up some danglingwires in the chair and removing the incredibly cheap looking brand stickers from the bike,everything else seems to be in order.OMG moment #5: Road camber. For those who don’t ride a motorcycle, motorcycles arealways perpendicular to gravity when not in motion. They lean to turn, but when stopped,the rider has to hold them upright regardless of the camber of the ground beneath thewheels. Not true on a Ural! The entire rig leans with the camber causing me to quicklyslam my foot down to the ground to “catch” the tipping bike. I hope that one isn’t onyoutube!Reflecting back on my handling difficulties of the first day, I should have heeded page 71 ofthe Ural owner’s manual.“Warning: Left-hand and right-hand turns may be dangerous”
