Ever own a Ural?

My teenage sons are all over me to add a Ural to the stable. 60 year old technology made in Russia. I guess if you look at it like buying a vintage VW (stuff is going to break, but easy to DIY and parts are cheap), perhaps in a weak moment, I could see one in the garage. Our English Mastiff would look great sporting a pair of goggles riding along in the hack.

I've read wildly differing opinions on ADVrider. Can't think of anything practical about the idea, but the boys have me thinking. We live in a rural area and off-road, back and forth from the dock, etc., might be kind of fun. Anyone have one?

Certainly wouldn't buy a new one, but perhaps a used 2011 or 2012? Nearest dealership is a little more than an hour away (Atlanta). Gotta get back to work...these slow days have the potential to get expensive.
