Had to go to State College , Pa today. While there I took the time to stop by Kissle Motorsports and check out the Ural they had in the parking lot. And the Gear-up in the showroom..... Ten years of lusting after a Ural , spent some time eyeballing the gear-up when the sales manager offered to let me ride the orange one in the parking lot. I could not have had a bigger smile on my face ! I only took it around the lot, and my wife did take a ride in the car , but I tell you , it is far better than I could have expected. He offered to let me ride it around town for a couple hours to see what I thought , just need to bring my own gear . Craig , thanks for letting me ride that magical machine. The wife is finacially preparing for a gear-up purchase in the spring....I cant wait !!
At this particular dealership , a Gear-Up is $13,000 . A small price to pay . I have lusted over these for years , must be Devine intervention that this dealer started carrying the line recently . 10 minutes around that parking lot and I can understand why people love these machines .
Have you talked to Claude at CSM? He's only about 2 hrs from you. Would be a good source of info to you, even if you don't buy from him. Can't say enough good things about Claude and the staff at CSM. Link below. http://freedomsidecars.com/index.html
When I finally decided to get a sidecar I wasn't really even considering a Ural, one test ride and I was sold, it just felt so right.
Yep, these rigs are a hoot, your not just buying a new bike, your starting a new lifestyle with a mechanical friend who will keep you entertained(or cursing) everyday.
