well...I have posted this in other forums as well but you guys...living over there may have more insight and exprience with these machines...I may relocate to Upstate New York and I dont want to have to stop riding in the winter so I was thinking about buying a Ural Patrol...

It is a side car motercycle with 2 wheel drive...I have zero knowledge about these machines and I am looking for any insight that you may have...

Never heard of them, so did a bit of googling, found this http://www.imz-ural.com/gearup/

You have to go for the cammo look, and what other country would compare its motorcycles to an AK-47.

Buffo,
A bike really popular in E Europe, Russian I think, but you know that already. I would have thought that getting parts might be a problem? I saw an Ebay for one, and he stressed 'these are relly badly built' and he was selling it, so I can't imagine how rough they might be.
Have you ridden one yet?
JIm.
