HOT OFF THE PRESS.. so 2008 draws to a close, its been a busy year,
lots of shows, ride outs, projects started, some finished, the website has
suffered a bit updates not as often as I would have liked, compounded by
problems with my old laptop(win98 running front page), new laptop purchased
using vista and latest version of front page, which promptly duplicated
everything on the server and refused to allow update of index page,, all sorted
now So what are the plans for 2009, we are already loading the calendar up
with show dates, several conflicting so decisions need to be made, new for the
2009 shows will be our F1 sidecar outfit, lots of noise and tyre smoke, plus a
quad and a minimoto sidecar outfit,, sure we can have some fun with those.
Also for 2009 we will be running the Ural Riders Championship Challenge,
consisting of about a dozen different disciplines, grass track, hill climb,
sprint, green lane, endurance, trials, plus others anyone interested in
participating in all or some contact me.

evening news,,, from russia with love Alastair Walker FOR many years I thought sidecars were the twisted handiwork of Satan. Why have three wheels, when four wheels – and a roof – makes a nice car, or two wheels plus a potent engine makes a damn fine motorbike? But I have seen the light. Sidecars are actually sex on wheels and those who can do tricks on them are the Love Gods of the Queen’s Highway. No, stop laughing there at the back, it’s true I tell ya. I spent a day learning the art of riding a Ural 750 with Mick Cross, who runs basic beginner courses for £180 at MPC Motorcycles in Leicestershire. Mick explains the physics of sidecars, the way two-wheel drive engages, and the importance of not braking whilst on two wheels with the ‘chair’ in the air. At first you think he’s joking, but a ride around the car park, where Mick balances the Ural with ease, and then actually parks the outfit on its side, proves he knows what he’s talking about. Soon, I was gingerly piloting the twin cylinder Russian Army style sidecar around myself, gradually lifting the wheel with a simple twist of the handlebars, and a tiny dab of throttle. It feels safe too, really controllable and as the outfit was in first gear for most of the day, speeds were low. Trying to ride a figure of eight in reverse gear – yes, it goes backwards too – was the hardest part. You had to re-configure your biking brain completely to accomplish it. In fact, forget everything you’ve ever learned about motorcycles, because except for the position of the throttle, brakes and clutch on the handlebars, a sidecar is utterly unique and behaves nothing like any bike you will ride. The whole day was totally addictive fun and I’ve never laughed so much at 20mph in my life. For more visit uralmotorbikes.info and insidebikes.com |
