gautrek Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I don't know if people remember but i posted a while ago about my bike i had restored.Well its been on the road for about 9 months now.I have been having a few teething issue with it but i am getting there. Any way me and Mrs gautrek had a bimble around the other weekend. we did around 30 miles of which 20m were off road. We went down a local road called Gartree road.this is the route of an old Roman road.Its has signs up saying unsuitable for vehicles. So what more excuse do you need:) We intend going again as the Mrs loved it.Plus i'm sure we can find a nice old pub halfway round to have a rest.The only problem was a silencer falling off due to the vibration,but these roads are what the bike was built for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gautrek Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Do you ever let her drive? Michael The last woman i let ride this was my first wife.we went to a bike rally and she said gis a go.So i did.She was happy going round the empty field for a while.We then drove down to the pub.When we came out she said can i ride it back. Ok says I I sat in the sidecar with my feet on the seat and my arse on the bootlid.She opened the throttle and before i could say anything she dumped the clutch.At which point the front wheel shot up and we started to overturn.We must have done about a 70deg wheelie before she panicked and shut throttle.At which point the front wheel crashed back to earth. :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affentitten Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Your machine is actually just about bigger than the car I bought Mrs Affentitten on the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The last woman i let ride this was my first wife. I notice that you specified that she was your first wife. Should we assume that it was this incident led to the dissolution of your union? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gautrek Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Your machine is actually just about bigger than the car I bought Mrs Affentitten on the weekend. I bet it weighs more as well.I don't tend to get too many people pull out on me on this.Which is a good job as two drum brakes are a bit iffy in today's traffic.All this discs all round and ABS bollocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogface Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Nice job on the restoration gautrek, I have always liked the look of that type of bike. I keep looking for a Ural Patrol that I could afford and so far, no dice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
