Plus your Ural.
Plus your Ural.
I prefer to refer to it as "The Mighty Ural", if you please. I feel the pain of the HD rider. The Mighty Ural is often the target of ridicule and scorn, but unfortunately the attacks are all too often justified and take place on Ural forums.
I shouldn't do this, but I will. I've just spent two hours with a Harley owner who was looking at my R1100, for his friend,who was thinking of buying it. I must say it was some of the most tiresome time I've had to endure for a while. Of course I also have to do the same thing with my brother in law and his Harley at Christmas, and other Harley owners whom I chance to meet. My question is: is buying a Harley what seems to turn these guys in to know-it-all, arrogant jerks, or, is it just that that's the type of person who buys one. " Harleys are the absolute best; no other make compares; the rest of us are apparently too stupid to understand that obvious fact; were not supporting true American companies," etc, etc.)
If people want to own them, and decorate their entire wardrobe and truck and everything else right down to their underwear with free advertising for Harley, go ahead. We're already forced to listen to the braying exhaust of these little tanks, but must the rest of us also listen to the endless glorifying of this brand by their proud owners? Give it a rest, boys.
I was at the Springfield Mile dirt track races one year.
Speaking of dirt track, I was at the Syracuse Mile once when Bubba Shobert was cleaning up in flat track - on a Honda when everyone else was on an XR750. He was roundly booed by the crowd every time he came out for practice and when he was accepting the winner's trophy. I wonder why?
It may amaze you at the cost of that factory part. MBRP may have something less costly.

As I was putting on by bright yellow Dry Rider Rainsuit standing under a canopy several cruiser riders were putting on their trash bags - literally. They wrapped their arms and legs with trash bags and duct tape. With a hole for their heads and two more for their arms they were tightly wrapped in plastic and tape

On a trip we stopped for gas and a snack, riding Harleys. Before taking off we looked at weather on our phones and decided to put on raingear. Their was a rider on a newer Goldwing visiting with us, he was traveling on vacation. He mentioned the rain gear. It turned out he was going the same direction as us and asked if we really needed rain gear? I showed him the weather radar on my phone and said I was sure we needed it. It was hard to judge his reaction, but it appeared to me the thought of needing rain gear never crossed his mind. We were by a larger city and I told him I would be hitting a sporting goods store and see what he could find, or be prepared to get soaked, or just hang out for a few hours until it passed. A few miles down the road it was pouring rain and we road in rain for a couple hours. No idea about the GW rider, never saw him again.
As a Harley and RT owner, I totally understand. While my Harley has its place, and a feel of it own, I never pretend the the brand and the lifestyle is anything more than what it is. While I prefer the comfort of and tech of my RT, the Harley occupies a totally different area of my brain, and it’s satisfying when I ride it. It’s like being married, and having that one thing your wife tells you not you to secretly behind her back hahahaha. (Not another woman either lmao)
