My old neighbor had a Ural that he rode everywhere...with his daughter in the chair. He had a custom-welded tube cage attached to the sidecar for her "protection".
Anyway, the stories he told me about keeping that thing running were unbelievable. Like gearsets that were hand-matched at the factory because mfg tolerances were so loose. God help you if you needed just one gear... I'm not sure if he was always on the level with me, but just 10% of his stories were enough to scare me away from Urals for good.
