Talk to Terri, she will set you right up.

who will be your "24 hour tech support".
And fit your toddlers to the proper motorcycle, of course.
So Harry, tell us about your new iron horse. Did you order the Ural?

A Ural?

you mean one of those crudely made Russian copies of a 1936 BMW that
was captured in ww2 ?

Not for me. The Russkis have made and actually do make some interesting
knock-offs of German and Eastern European cameras, but I've never been
much impressed with Russia's vehicles for consumers, including their
motorcycles.

Exactly. I think most of their automotive ideas were confiscated in
WW2 and not much changes.

I did hear that their cameras wern't bad, but everythign else.. *eh....

No, I wouldn't have a Ural anything *shoved proverbially sideways.

Don, theLadaprobably was fun to drive, but I wonder how long you
could drive it. Especially after knowing it was patterned after aFiat.
(Fix It Again, Tony!)

Those Fiats didn't hold togather well, so after the Russians got down
with their crude ideas, I think it's life span would be secondary only
to aYugo. (AnotherFiatpattern)- Hide quoted text -

TrueYugostory. Knew a person that bought one brand new. Man, what a
crudely built thing! Anyway, I left the lights on on my car one night,
and got a jump from theYugo. Well, nothing electrical seemed to work
after that, except that it ran. No lights, no radio, no horn, no
wipers, nothing!!!! Takes it into the shop, manager says "did you try
to jump start a vehicle"? Yup. Don't do it again..... your lucky it
didn't burn to the ground.

Do you know why the Yugo had a heated back glass?

So you can keep your hands warm while pushing it.


By the way, those lines are also in the article.

Alas, the death knell for the Yugo.
