A funny thing happened on the way to work...
« on: March 01, 2013, 11:48:22 AM »
So I'm heading into work (on the brick) and I stopped at a Chevron. No sooner am I off the bike than this pickup whips in and this guy jumps out and runs over to me.

First thing he says is "When you decide to sell this bike, I want to buy it."

Turns we have crossed paths a few times and he has been checking out my brick. We had a good talk but I had to tell him I plan to ride this bike for many years to come.

If you like that sort of attention, BUY A URAL!  They even got a name for it, UDF for Ural Delay Syndrome, add about 20 minutes to any trip to talk to folks with questions about your rig.  With my K75s, it was a once-a-month thing.  Happened 3 times today on my Ural, that's about normal  :lol:
