  2. Strange about your FB? Anyhow good luck with finding something great for you both to blast around on.
     
  3. Hi, I can relate and understand your comments and if we have a choice and are physically able to we will ride solo. Unfortunately life has a way of throwing curve balls at you and when it does you either give in and quit or you adapt. We are hoping to do the latter in an effort not to loose any contact with bikes. Trust me when I say we both love riding our Ducati’s and the day we have to give them up will be very difficult and sad. Thank you for sharing your thoughts though, cheers.

  4. A trike is my plan for when my hips and knees finaly preclude me from riding, but it would be one with 2 wheels at the front like a Can-am
     
  5. There's a Can-am dealership not far from me. See quite a few on the road.
    I've always though a Can-am with a Busa engine and a moderately pressured blower would make a good project. 300 bhp should do it..:eyes:
     
  6. I think the older Urals were your standard really poor Russian pre-war vehicle but the newer ones are a little more err... modern in both parts and assembly. They do seem to be biased towards off road adventure mind.

    Yeah, the driving of an outfit (you don't ride an outfit) is very odd and if I remember correctly you need to slow down/brake when turning right and accelerate when turning left. Which makes turning right out of a side road a little tricky :D
