Do spokes and swingarms feel bad when they are abused?
Looks painful. Don in Nipomo |

Look at the flex on the sidewall of the pusher tire. Wonder if that is an original Russian tire? Maybe that's why he carries 2 spares...

Wonder if he's running the drum brake front
 Probably has lots of practice tensioning spokes and truing wheels. More power to him/her Notice 2W drive in case he has to climb out of one of the valleys after missing the turn - low orbit  doug maccoy R60/2 with Watsonian (long gone and missed)  R1200RT current 2012 Ural GearUp soon to come

That's madeouttaglass.
He's got a great ride report in the forums above about riding that bike from Washington to New York via the southern US.

Flying the car to keep the wheel out of the ditch, is what it looks like to me.
Looks like he was having fun, regardless of the reason. Cheers.

If the car tire was a foot higher I would begin to think he might be a little nutty for entering that corner a little fast.
I would guess that sliding 90% corners at 50-60 mph on gravel might seem nutty, but it sure is fun. |

Granted,there is air between the sidecar tyre and ground,but that`s hardly 'flying'.

There are a few pictures of me flying it higher. As I've said in a few other threads with pictures of me, I could have gone faster around the corner if I kept the chair down and powered through. I flew it for a good picture so I could buy the coffee mug. The one I bought has it higher than that.
 Ive ridden my VF100R and FJR through there at much faster speeds. Got the mug for the FJR too.

Better picture for the coffee mug
Still a little tough on the spokes, axle, wheel and swingarm, right? Don in Nipomo |
