I rode in a side car for the first time yesterday.

A buddy of mine picked up a 2016 Ural as a 2nd bike.

He took me for a spin yesterday. Frankly, it was... Comfortable. Smooth. The seat (stock) had plenty of cushion.

I can't complain about anything really. Then I consider the fact that you can get windscreens, arm rests, upgraded seats... I could do that all day!

Also, I'm 6 ft 1 in tall & had plenty of room.

It has reverse, and this model has 2-wheel drive that can be engaged.

Excellent stuff, get it out in the snow, they're great fun. Had some fun with an old Cossack years ago....what a blast

I used to work with a lovely old fella who's every other sentence usually involved 'with the sidecar, obviously' he rode the Elephant Rally numerous times and was extremely fond of both. Went on to be a ROSPA advanced riding instructor and then a Road Safety Engineer. I might add this to the bucket list! Lol

That would be great. This friend has probably 12+ years in the saddle, but only a few weeks with a sidecar. He should be plenty ready for snow shredding come winter ❄️👍

I love hearing stories and knowledge from folks like that. Great stuff!

The spare wheel on the back really makes it look cool.
