for me the deciding factor was meeting several guys over the last few summers who'd made it up to alaska on urals. i know this is not a scientific survey. for every one who made it twenty could be bleached bones on the alcan. but it was worth taking a shot.
as for the idea of buying an old beemer and attaching a sidecar; i looked into this. i do not want to destroy a classic. i'm hard on machines. i've taken the rig down twenty miles of beach and up hellish fire roads. the two wheel drive and reverse have gotten my ass out of a few tight spots.
i am not here to defend their build quality or reliability. they have issues. just be prepared and don't be in a hurry. then they're a lot of fun.
