I have ridden dirt bikes in blizzards many years ago, but this guy is on tough hombre..... Probably we should hunt him down an offer him an honorary "Russian Storm Trooper" pin or something, along with something hot....

I have the up most respect for the Guy on the bike.\, but this is why we have 4 means of transportation. Motorcycle, Blazer, 4 runner and a 923A1. I am getting far to old for the recovery time when your caught out in storms like that on a bike. Oh and I like toys also

I've worked with a few die hard riders. One gent (now retired) rode a Ural every day. He would stud the tires as well. He came rolling into the lot during a blizzard back in '96 with a snow shovel sticking out of the side hack. The guy with the most brass rode a beater '94 Roadking on snow days. He had knobby tires with sheet metal screws in the tread. He'd come in the lot and ram the front tire into a drift or freshly pushed snow pile and walk away. Sometimes it would still be upright when he came out, sometimes it wouldn't..... Most of these guys have moved to HD geaser glide trikes unless it gets too bad out.
Back on topic, Ural's with a driven side hack are just awesome and on the top of my list for three wheel rides, just under a Morgan, T-Rex or old Servi-car.......

I think I got that right.

The Ural Patrol T doesn't seem to expensive for what you get either. I wonder what there top speed is in 1 and 2 wheel drive.

Your posts are always fun and informative. Thanks very much for posting and becoming a member to this site.

On a lighter note, I am single and went to a site for Russian-Ukrainian ladies on a whim. I have much respect for the people I correspond with. If I find one, what do I have to watch for so I don't have my a$$ handed to me. I would love to visit your country.

Dennis

P.S. Hopefully she likes riding bikes!

I do believe that the military Dnepr/Ural bikes descended from the BMW R75 or R65 of the pre WWII German Army, and back in the seventies or early eighties they would max out at 51 or 61 on the road. The problem then was with valves, springs and rings as those almost always had to be replaced at day one to get them to run. USSR can weigh in here as he is a lot closer to the source, so to speak. The drive on the sidecar wheel can apparently be disengaged, and apparently like the German bike they are descended from, fairly ferocious off road bikes, considering they are burdened with a side car and a small (comparatively speaking) engine.
Still, the guy in the blizzard has trash can sized kahunas, given the temperature, the slipperyness of the road and the poor visibility, if they can rear end a deuce or a tractor trailer under those conditions, a motorcycle might be taken for a bump or pothole.... I'm more curious how he kept the drum brakes from freezing up or the fuel line ditto, as when I used to ride the dirt bike at -20*F, the snow would melt into the brake drums and when you stopped, freeze them solid, or the fuel line would ice up..... (You have to be a lazy hillbilly to do this, but I figured I could ride the bike up and down the hills, and made cash towing sleds & riders up to the top).... Now mind you, I don't claim any sanity for back then, and probably less now.....
