New to the forum, not to sidecars. I bought my 2007 Ural Gear Up 10 years ago this month and it's one oil change short of 50,000 miles. I ride it year round in NE Illannoy. And though getting long in the tooth, it has been an absolute blast. And handy. I need half a dozen 8 foot 2x4s from Menard's...take the Ural. Go camping with the grandkids, take the Ural. Snowing? Do donuts in a vacant parking lot, then show up at the dealer covered in snow.

A bit about me. I'm a teenager in an AARP body, but only 10 in dog years. Retired railroad construction equipment mechanic, so maintaining a weird Russian rig isn't a big deal. Married over 50 years to a girl from high school that I gave a ride to on my Honda S90. I still roller skate once a week and bicycle a few times a week. And daily walks with my aging pup, Buster.

I just put two new tires on the Ural today to keep it going.

Yousir are just the kind of crazy cat we really like around here!  Two more posts and you will be able to share pics of those hooliganism shenanigans.  Welcome!
