Running really nice now.
I had some free time this morning and rode down to the local Ural dealer. One, to get some seat time. Two, to see if I could get some small parts thus supporting a local business. And Three, to see if I could meet Jeremy, the local Ural Wizard. Got two out of three. Jeremy doesn't work weekends.
I did have a nice chat with one of the business owners, though. She asked if I got my Ural from them and I had to tell her no. Then I mentioned that I had sent two emails requesting a test ride and received nary a reply. I saw the 'deer in the headlight stare', followed by a reddening face, followed by a sigh, and then an apology. Methinks someone may be in for a butt chewing.
I was able to get the parts I came in for, a pair of oil filter seals(mine was missing, got an o-ring in its place). I was offered a pair of Russian oil filters cheap, so I got those, too.
Here's out front. The one I'd wanted to see is the Patrol on the left.
The Gray one is a Gear Up like mine. The orange one is the CT. The CT is the sports car, the others are Jeeps.
