Is that a Ural?

i know this thread is for bikes, but after my 8 yr old son saw me post some pictures, he asked if i could do some for him. i hope you guys don't mind, it sure make him feel proud
these are the ones he picked to share.
first atv (chinese) for his 3rd b.day

by 5 he was outriding the machine, time for a real quad- polaris outlaw 90


i think he's almost outriding this one, he goes cruisin' around on my 450

Front end, hack framework & luggage rack sure look like Ural. The case casting looks like it says R90/6 though...?


Either way, very cool.

Looks like a Ural. My friend has one and he l
oves it.

Very observant. Yes it is Ural but the owner said his motor froze up so he swapped in the BMW motor. Considering, as he said, the Ural is basically a rip off of that generation of BMW the motor bolted right in place.

After talking with the owner for a few min I found out I actually went to high school with him and his brother was one of my friends. Kinda random since I thought they moved to Minnesota years ago! Maybe thats why he was comfortable riding in that blizzard!

I didn't know you could lock up a Ural motor. From all accounts, they're the AK-47 version of bikes: sloppy tolerances, shoddy finish work, won't ever die.

I've always wanted an old BMW (and a Ural too for that matter), but man they are spendy to upkeep and maintain.

[panelrodder81]

It was because of the tack welded on oil scoops. Apparently one came free causing debris and oil flow problems since it was a splash oil system. I'm the middle man on the info flow here!

My '62 Harley-Davidson Panhead, bobber with a '78 on board. (Hope the Mod's don't mind)

[Strodder]

Nice Pan Head. Really clean. Now behave yourself.

Nice Panhead. Hardly can tell the difference between the '64 I had about 30 years ago,before we called them bobbers...justa sweet Harley.

[Madtat]

That sure beats the coin-op wash!

Not a good way to start off. I was replying to your pm and stopped to check something when this caught my eye. If you wish to call me out on an issue feel free to do so in private where we can discuss it. Posting on this thread in the manner you are will not end favorably in your behalf.

I do welcome you to the site. I hope this does not discourage you from posting. However, we do not do things this way. Thanks

A lot of nice bikes here! This is my 2000 Suzuki Intruder 1500. It was cheap, rides nice though. One day I'll get my Harley....

[capev86]

my (other) pride and joy....1972 CB350 twin with original paint, custom $$$ electronic ignition, bored out, ported & polished, backcut valves, racing air filters hidden under stock side covers. my dad bought it in '79 and he is buddies with the first two owners. i got my licence in '99 and have driven it up to laconia nh for bike week the last several years and the other 3 owners went up with me again this year. this bike has also been to the top of the mt washington (way back in the day). this pic is from bike week last summer as i haven't gotten to downloading the latest pics yet. always has run mobil 1 but now sports the 10w-40 cycle version at 8 bucks a quart. i love taking it and showing people up....you don't have to have an expensive harley, crotch rocket or gold wing to enjoy cycling and i'd rather be different anyway. i let the younger guys (i'm 30 now) go out and kill themselves burning gas, money and ego on super fast rides. this little sweetheart just hums along and i have never found any other bike to be more enjoyable. yes it is better suited to short jaunts and 40-50mph back country rides but handles the 1.5 hour partial highway trip to bike week (and other gatherings) with little fuss.

right behind it is my dad's current cruiser.....86 shadow 500.


and my 81 silverwing i picked up a couple years ago for 50 bucks and made my money back by selling the aftermarket windshield that was on it. this is a naked bike but i have a set of matching saddlebags (and mounting gear, etc) and the dual disc front brake upgrade (including larger bore master cylinder) from an 82 silverwing interstate (skipping on adding the interstate fairing....i like the look and feel of an open front). also looking to get a euro spec honda cx500 18 inch rear wheel that looks like the stock "reverse comstar" 16 incher. i can run a lower profile (but bigger diameter) rear tire for lower rpms and it will look better (this bike has a 19 inch front wheel). the pic is of it sitting in my yard back when i first got it but it is now safely tucked away in the shed awaiting its turn with the wrench. i have mobil 1 motorcycle oil for it and also changing out the other fluids as well as planning a tune up and new tires. with water cooling, shaft drive, etc it will make a great daily driver bike for summer and i can enjoy cylcling without wracking up tons of miles on the 350. it also came with a low profile trunk that replaces the passenger seat and matches the bodywork and actually picks up the pinstrike on the saddlebags



i have an aluminum cycle carrier so as soon as i get a 2x2 receiver on my 72 burb i will be able to take both the burb and my cb350 to vintage car shows!

when i get my 86 aries wagon (resto, 2.5 intercooled turbo, shelby brakes and chassis, etc) done i hope to haul both bikes to florida for daytona bike week and perhaps out to SD for the sturgis gathering as well in the years ahead....

update: finally got my 81 Silverwing on the road and saved some serious $$$ in commuting expenses. I used my 72 Suburban to haul my motorcycles up Maine for the vintage motorcycle meet at the Owls Head Transportation Museum on Labor Day weekend. My dad and I rode the bikes from my grandmother's house to the show 40 hours further north, that Saturday. On the Monday holiday, we pulled the whole rig into the car show at the Portland Motor Club (special interest vehicle storage) on the way back home. Note the matching saddlebags off a 'wing interstate and the 18" rear wheel from an Australian CX500 base model (all domestic shaft drive bikes got the 16" rear which looks stupid with the 19" front)




my 72 Honda CB350 on the back of my 72 Suburban C20 at the Sanford Sound bikini car wash/car show back in July 2010:

[Strodder]

Those would make killer Cafe Racers.
BTW DUCK, I think your in trouble.

Cafe racers are interesting, but I won't cut up a complete bike, especially when it has a lot of sentimental value. And the bigger bike is my new summer daily driver, so the luggage and factory comforts are needed. A cx500 (instead of a gl500) would be a better choice to build a stripped down bike.

That sure beats the coin-op wash!

You think?!! LOL
