| Urals Love Camping |
It wouldn’t surprise us if you could stack one Ural on top
of another and the bronco would love the load. We packed our camping gear
behind Frank, the driver, and me, the passenger. I climbed in and sat
comfortably with my legs stretched out while Frank mounted the steed. We didn’t
even hear a creaking sound. The charger stood firm and moved forward with solid
confidence in its capability. Our excursion that time was without incident. I felt pride in our bike’s capacity.
Back at home, the lumber companies and small engine repair
shopkeepers get a kick out of the bike’s ability to haul a lawnmower on its
back, lengths of lumber and plywood and large pieces of furniture. Frank is a
sailor and there’s a secure knot for every load.
Last month, we headed up the road to our garden plot and
brought along a load of lumber, a roll of chicken wire, two
rakes, a shovel and a large bag of planting potatoes. We thought
nothing of piling the Ural with all that stuff. When we arrived, the other
gardeners stood around the bike and commented on its uniqueness.
Indeed, the Ural is unique as are most of its owners. What a
pleasure.
