- As a couple capitalist pigs, it's hard to understand Ural. Who would buy a sidecar? Why? Are they expensive, unreliable and exhausting to drive... or more? Let's find out!

I just signed the papers for one, Should get it in about a week, I bought it so I can take my Disabled Son for rides....
That's awesome! Hope you guys have fun and make beautiful memories... Greetings from Paraguay!
I wish my Dad was this cool. :)
Your disabled son is about to have the time of his life man.
Be safe brother, have fun, and rock on 😎
So how is it? Let us all know!!
My dad bought a chain drive riding lawnmower once. 😂
Hello from Russia 😁 I had an Ural once) There is a statement about Ural motorcycle engines: “if there is no oil leakage from the engine, there is no oil in the engine.” This video was awesome! 👏 Thank you!
Дмитрий Молчанов That truly sounds like a Russian statement.
@@youtubeaccount5153 it's a super old joke that gets applied to any quirky vehicle. I heard it first about Range Rovers I think. Similar to "it's not leaking oil, it's marking its territory!"
ayebraine it’s just sweating horsepower.
😂😂😂

"not my bike, our bike"
So many good lines but that got me
Yeah, I really felt the communism in that line.
It didn't get you, it got us.
@@blabla903 Nxt lvl!
Fking gold hahaha
@@carlb5558 I’m Soviet Russia bike ride you
I owned one for 5 years and it was the THE MOST FUN motorcycle I ever owned. Was it comfortable? No. Fast? No. Smooth? Nope. Reliable? Well, mostly. But it was very practical for grocery runs, carrying lawnmowers and 5 gallon pails of paint or roofing tar. 80 pound bags of concrete...no problem. 8 foot long 2x4s...again, no problem. Riding in the snow? More fun than the law should allow! Me and two gals going for a ride around town? FUN! Flying the chair at Sturgis? Even MORE FUN. But beware, UDF (Ural Delay Factor) is REAL...most of your time stopping anywhere will be occupied by strangers asking questions. If you are shy around strangers, this is NOT the bike for you!
you meet the nicest people on a Ural
You mean the scheduled catastrophic failure applies as well? XD
@@_implying hehehehe
@@herosdiaz8757 What are you talking about?
"Stunt preformed by trained Russian citizen. Do not try with any other citizenship."

I mean we have the most after war stuff.
the jeep converted to jeepneys
and urals to tricycles
all used for public transport. :)
here, hold my potatoe vodka....watch this
Videos like this make me wish youtube had a super-like button.
This is why the like button exists.
No like one you can only use once a day.
ITS CALLED PATREON BRO
Well it has a dislike button and i used it on the video and your stupid comment.
guillepankeke your a mean person
I think having a rider in the sidecar especially with a mounted machine gun would improve driving dynamics drastically. Not to mention, put fear in anyone who dares to cross your path.
Road rage?
No road rage comrade.
Oh, the burning bullet riddled wreckage back there in the ditch?
That is a lesson learned by fellow comrade CutsMeoffSki...
He will never to it again.
this is the way :)
I was thinking an underfolder AK would be a perfect accessory for this thing. Similar, even though you know its awful you still want one.
My dad had one when I was like 7. We took it to his friend’s house about 10 miles away for Easter that year. Riding home late at night it had started to snow, and we were both freezing in the wind. We ended up getting stopped to wait for a train for what felt like forever lol. I still remember burying my face in a blanket while waiting for that train to pass.
that's the feeling alright
Somehow I felt this comment deep in my heart.
This was a great comment......
Sounds like you were building character!
The cinematography of your vids is just not normal for a moto vlog.
The quality is top notch.
You can consider this a Moto vlog??, This is pure art
Come on. Don’t insult the work. V log is some bozo taking a selfie style video. This is the work of a professional camera operator and editor and it shows. I follow him on Instagram.
its all this guy ...Aneesh Shivanekar he is amazing
It's all about he lenses and good post production knowledge.
It's not normal for most news/doc/review TV production these days, period, let alone UA-cam. Every video is like a little short film masterpiece, simultaneously entertaining, informing, and paying homage to cinematic legends (like Wes Anderson in this case). Genius!
Okay, this _entire video_ is a _spot on_ Wes Anderson homage, and the fact that only like three of the comments even acknowledge the influence is downright criminal. The camera work, the shot composition, the sound design, the editing, the acting, the intertitles, the script... It's enough that this guy puts so much effort into his "normal" videos, but this is a 10+ minute opus and it deserves to be appreciated.
Exactly what I was thinking....would have had adhd if I hadn't seen this comment :D
Yes, you are absolutely right, now that I think about. Good call.
Comrade tell me more films about this west anderson guy. I wanna watch

@@Pothead2005 Is in the Ukraine, but also was USSR, so it’s valid lol
Riding a Ural for two years were the best I’ve ever had on a motorcycle. Screw the maintenance, screw the whole it trying to kill you all the time. It’s a hoot and a completely unforgettable experience
I have no idea what I just watched. But I know that I liked it. Fortnine, confusing viewers into satisfaction. Well done.
I was about to say the exact same thing.
Yeah, really well done))
The cops knew that internal affairs were setting them up
i was thinking exactly the same haha
Exactly described the feelings sir
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Fortnine has the best consistent production value on UA-cam.
If you Want another great and consistent production value channel and want to learn something cool about vfx, check out Captain Disillusion. He’s been in YT since 2008 and his first video looks like a compressed copy of his latest videos.
My interest in getting a side car: 0%
Me: sees FortNine video on side cars. Watches the entire production.
And don't forget Project Farm.
I loved the sound of the Geiger counter ticking away!
I always hankered after one of these. The 2WD version. My late father acquired one in Falaise in the Summer of 1944 and kept it (as a scout vehicle) until a new CO as they entered Germany said that it would "look bad" if he kept it and it would give the impression that Germany had better equipment than the Allies. His view at the time was that they did.... So he dumped the BMW and the German side arm, with regret. He spoke about that combination with enormous affection. 2WD with a differential gear and (Mirabile Dictu) exhaust pipes playing across the handlebar for those cold Ardennes winter rides. I am old and tired now, but still secretly hanker after one of these.... Good video.
A differential would kill traction :-)
"It has two wheel drive with no differential so, like the Soviet army it only marches forward."
Shows the front wheel turning left and right with little to no effect.
red army
Steering is just a suggestion to the bike...
@Me. Me Well, German design. From the 40s. Built by socialists.
Some worry there.
@Me. Me Yeah. Actually, I would like one. Just for fun. But it would have to be dirt cheap so no chance there. I'll stick with my Triumph, Honda and Yamaha.
Keep Warm!
@@timjohnson1199 2wd chair means you go places your Triumph, Honda etc couldn't even dream about. Plus you can fix these roadside, simple tec and stupendous tool kit. You can even get an AK47 mount for the chair.

"Not my bike, OUR bike"

I want to like this but I can't because it's at 69. Zodrovye comrade
Stalin will be proud
Genius comment
Still have to buy it with your own capitalist dollars
This is such a great video. I still don't know if I want one, or don't. 😄
Buy one. They're great and if you like wrenching and you're used to servicing on older cars and just in general older vehicles, you'll love it.
Hard to come across for cheap in good condition, I've bought a Dnepr from 1966 myself, in need of restoration, but it's surely going to be worth it. They're awesome - go for an older model.
Owning and operating soviet machinery can be like a camping trip where you walk your feet raw, sleep horribly in a leaking tent only to be greeted with the most amazing sunrise of your life.
@@supertrinigamer im restoring a 69 dnepr. Hows the project going chief?
Yo Downie didn’t realize you would show up here lol, you and FortNine are two of my favourite UA-camrs 🤟🏻
I always said about my 98’ “It always promised to strand me but it never has.” I love all the questions I get about it, and I love the Art Deco style.
I watched it with such a nostalgic feeling, I’m from Poland originally, my dad was working as a engine designer when we had soviet “friends” in Poland. He always was saying -“ only what Russian cares about is how the machine will perform in -50 C and + 50C 😂 I think that how u have to look at this bike
«Русских волнует только то, как машина поведет себя в -50°C и +50°C - как русский скажу - это правда. Русских прежде всего волнует надёжность потом всё остальное. Комфорт - вторичен. Это как автомат Калашникова АК-47, должен стрелять и в грязи, и в снегу, и в песке, оружие должно соответствовать человеку, так же как и русский солдат, готовый сражаться в любых условиях. У моего отца в моём детстве был УАЗ-53, он меня на нём обучал вождению, в 8 лет а спокойно крутил руль на нём (на УАЗ-53 не гидроуселителя руле), смешно смотреть как в Японии взрослые мужики жалуются, управляя УАЗ-53 на тяжёлый руль. В УАЗ-53 не было как в иномарках: гидроуселителя руля, кондиционера, стеклоподъемника, но в своей жизни, я не видел ни одно иномарки, которая смогла как УАЗ-53 спокойно ехать по вспаханному тракторами полю по которому только что прошёл дождь, и грязь была высотой 50 см., мой отец мне показывал как это делать, включив два моста на УАЗ-53 и на пониженных передачах.

Truly a Christmas miracle

I think the thing I love the most about my Ural is the smiles it puts on other people’s faces especially when my dog is with me.
I was going to share this video with you, and then found your comment. Hi Jon! This guy does awesome bike related vids.
What year is yours and how do you like it ?
You mean our ural and our dog
Dogs in side cars ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey John it’s me girl how are you been
I was soooo ready for a stop motion animation sequence at any given moment in this. I can see how getting a motorcycle with a side car can help channel your deepest Wes Anderson. Well done!
The cele-Bret-y cameo at the end was fantastic.
I knew it was Tckas when I heard his voice! Good stuff @ryan!
How does this channel manage to consistently put out Hollywood level videos? It's almost unbelievable. You guys are killing it!
Thank god it's actually not Hollywood level, otherwise we'd have to replace Ryan with a black disabled lesbian and Aneesh with a...no wait, he could stay.
@@taunokekkonen5733
Not really. Ryan would be replaced by an actor that's handsome. They want to attract women.

Can't wait to see FortNine grows so big those snobby bike manufactures beg Ryan to test ride their motorcycle.
Ryan mentioned it before there are so few press bikes in Canada. Ryan & his FortNine crew literally create Netflix quality videos on a shoestring budget. I would watch this man review a pencil
Ural literally send anybody a contract for a review and a paid tour of the factory.
I'd say 700k subs and a minimum of 150k views on each video is already big
In Soviet Russia, motorcycle test you.
@@jseden wise words comrade, You must be strong enough get an approved from the glorious urss's bike
How did I miss this one?!😆 Just like a Vostok Amphibia, tough as an old tank, built to endure the harshest environments and still in production today. You've gotta ❤️ them.
I bought a brand new Gear Up 2WD in 2017. It was culture shock to say the least.
It was plagued with quality control problems from the start including factory installed mismatched pistons and cylinders! It burnt out the fuel injection once, the speedometer 4x, the rear brake and rotor 2x. It took the better part of 2 years to sort out the gremlins.
Now, mostly problem free for many miles now, I love her to death and ride her all the time. She is one of my 8 motorcycles and the one I take shopping or riding my handicapped son and my dogs. Everybody in town knows it's me because you just don't see them much. There are a lot out there, but they are spread around geographically.
Yes, the neutral and fuel lights have minds of their own. I don't care. I can feel neutral, and I know how many miles to expect from the odometer/tripometer as to when I need to fuel up. If I make a mistake, I have 10L of petrol strapped to the sidecar. It is impossible to be stranded for very long due to running out of fuel. I also have a towing hitch purpose built for my rig. Makes towing a motorcycle trailer or camper or a small garden trailer, a piece of cake. It's also allowed me to pull others out of being trapped in the snow or off the embankment, etc. I also have a Warn winch on her which allows me to do even more to help myself and others.
This thing is truly functional. Not pretty. Not amazing build quality. Fit and finish is "Meh", but FUNCTIONALITY is unquestionably over the top of literally anything out there. I'm not kidding.
Curiously, I have run into BMW riders with their very expensive and snazzy sidecars, who have said they want to go riding with me. When we head into the real back woods of the U.P. in Michigan or the Black Swamp woods areas of Ohio, they freeze in panic and are unwilling to continue. I turn on my 2 Wheel Drive, wave goodbye and continue on into areas that no other motorcycle in the world is capable of going into, let alone of making it back out of in 1 piece. These things are tanks. Plain and simple. They are also one of the most infectious things you can ever ride and they work their way into your heart very quickly.
I love mine to death and will never sell it. Never.
That's awesome man. I'm from Ohio and would love to know more about the bike and rig. Could you post a link to the bike you're talking about? I'd love to get one in my hands as well
Would you be interested in swopping it for a "LARU" same type of bike made in one of the backward countries ?🪖🙃🏍
Being Russian, I should admit, that this is the best 10-min review of Ural bike, and, surely, one of the most entourage, served with correct sentiment.
One more thing: more than a half of total Ural’s production is being exported, while there are lots of soviet-times Urals in Russia. They’re REALLY cheap. I mean you can buy one in less than a 500$, and good quality, almost restored exemplars are sold below 2000$. So this is a real killer-motorcycle in here)))
Thanks Nikita, there's hope for us yet. Set up an export company and sent them around the world.
A reason to visit Russia.
I wish i could import one
Please let me know if you know the song in 6:05. I think it is Russian.

I never saw a motorcycle parked outside a therapist's office.
@@scottcates I actually saw a Suzuki DR 650 parked outside one. But this must've been either a real serious case. Or telling the therapist he's cured
@@redsquarejay Or it was the therapist's Suzuki!!
Having had a Ural for the last 10 years - before fuel injection- I can say that i have had more fun at slower speeds and challenging back roads than on any other bike. My wife prefers the Ural over the BMW GS 1250! Get out and see the back country! We loved the video . Unfortunately no one ever taps the true joy of the Ural on video once you learn to ride it.
My brain is barely able to handle the shear amount of Wes Anderson whimsy and symmetrical framing.
“Na na na, not my bike. Our bike.” Brilliant 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
no no no, we thought that was funny.
When you trade it in, is it considered defecting?
You get "best comment" award !! Very stiff competition.
If you trade it in, a big black Volga will park in front of your house/apartment for a few days, and after a week or so youll be sent to gulag. Urals can only be gifted back to the state, and then youll buy a new Ural again.
Depends, if you trade for hammer and sickle, you still Komrad!
@ Hunter glorious comment camarad
I sold my ural. 4 months later I bought it back. A 2 wheel bike is boring in comparison
Now that is some nice Ural. My first memory of Ural is when I was probably 4 or 6. It served as a taxi when I was a kid. I don't even remember there being much cars on the road. Only Ural with side car and IJ Planeta 5. Rode in the side car in -40C a lot riding from the town to the countryside to visit relatives. Once when I was 6 I rode behind the driver and my younger brother in the side car and we drove 80km on dirt road to reach the nearest settlement. Motorcycle built crude yet so reliable. Riding off-road in the side car is an scary experience.
Greetings from Kaliningrad! Great shot! The Urals is a special topic)
Привет из Калининграда! Отлично сняли! Урал это особая тема)
Hey I was looking at going to Kaliningrad this Summer since it is right next to Poland. I fell in love with the Ural after seeing a Russian restore a completely trashed one, it was beautiful after he was done, he did it because he had memories of his Grandfather taking him for rides in one.
Great review, I've had one of these for 8 years and it's the best money I ever wasted.
Well put
How's the reliability? I mean you've had it for 8 years so I assume you like it well enough. I was thinking about getting one of these and then read horrible reviews and got scared off.
@@winebox When I first learned about them I bought mine sight unseen as the dealer was a non stocking dealer at that time, I never did any research on them and have been happy with it ever since. I've had to learn how to do my own maintenance (I'm not paying shop rates for normal maintenance) and I've had a few issues but it's always got me home under power. My understanding is the quality is constantly being improved upon every year but I'm still really happy with mine and wouldn't consider an upgrade. I presently have about 42,000 km on it and it is still dependable.
@@sidecardan8403 Thanks kindly for the information. I had a Lance scooter-one of those Chinese clone bikes that was popular around 07 when gas was up to almost $4. I can change the oil and spark plug but I’m sure I can figure out the rest. UA-cam is a hell of a teaching aid. I don’t know if I would bother to buy another bike now while everyone is in a frenzy but it’s also a good time to do research.
@@winebox Check into the Soviet Steeds forum, there is lots of great knowledgeable guys there with all the information you can handle.
The end almost made me tear up. Growing up in Cuba, where Urals are common, I couldn’t imagine a better review. Thank you for the wonderful video, comrade! ✊️

I have had Urals in UK for 35 yrs. My children and my late wife loved it. Chrildren now grown uo and are high fliers, I think travelling to shows, camping trips etc gave them the confidence to tackle anything. Now in old age, I have Ural retro with lightweight chair and stíll enjoy camping.

Years a go a friend of mine bought a cheap Ural (His was branded Dnepr) with a side car, the version he got was the one with 2 separate spring seats (as depicted in the graph paper top down view). Man it was a weird experience being in the side car, and riding the damn thing, and yeah, had the same feeling during braking and pulling away lol. He took the chair off and let me ride it again, and, well, 'A form' or 'Normality' returned. Like an old boxer Beemer, but, more 'Laboured', more, ahem, 'Relaxed', more, cough cough, 'Sedate' Hahahaha 😎🇬🇧
Dnepr were better than Urals.
@@JamesWilliams-kt5qr yep, unfortunately factory was died a long time ago. Still have 3 of Dnepr-11
Your numbers on catastrophic failure were pretty much spot on. My single-wheel drive, never ridden hard, Tourist LX grenanded its transmission at 6,000 miles. Unless you've got a fully equipped shop, plenty of free time and don't mind waiting weeks for parts, ride something a bit more dependable. It was fun while it lasted. I now have a three wheeled paperweight in the garage.
Came from office with a headache. Now feeling better.
You working really hard this Christmas man
I am from the post-Soviet space (Belarus). And I can say that this is the best review for this motorcycle !!! f9 - many thanks for such a reverent approach to the culture of those countries. You are the best. As for the motorcycle, I can say that it is not particularly bought in our country and the market for these motorcycles is more developed in the USA and Canada. We are for the money it is better to buy a Japanese enduro.
Minsk 125 for the win
I’m not a very strong English specialist, I’ll have to watch the video again, but where did you see the author of the video with a reverent attitude to Soviets?
All these USHANKA, VODKA, BALALAIKA, a rough laryngeal accent - this is an old клюква.
Although I waited a long time when he remembers the Dnieper motorcycle.
But you cannot attach a sidecar to a Japanese enduro and definitely won’t get 2*2 drive with a fucking reverse gear ⚙️ I mean whaaaaaaaat!!!!!
Да!!! Вось гэта па нашаму))) Вельмі прыемна бачыць відэа ад F9, але яшчэ больш спадабалася прачытаць Ваш каментарый! Дзякуй!
@@sherbettt To speak its language is to stare down its heinously quirky build quality and translate it into laughs.
это наверное самая поэтичная и точная фраза про любителей Урала и вообще про многое в нашей жизни
Your channel is the perfection of the UA-cam medium. When hobbies and interests meet art. The Wes Anderson-esque intro is just *chef's kiss*
Your cinematography, creativity and humour continue to blow us all away. Thank you for continuing to make these!
I have watched this vid numerous times, I fail to understand why it remains under appreciated at less than 400k views. Scripting is smart and witty, cinematography is top notch. I wish you heaps of success, Ryan and team.
Because it doesn't have a presenter who is more animated than a cartoon character, and the thumbnail doesn't have someone making a 😲 face.
The shot of the bridge at 08:01 is legitimately epic. 08:50 has composition, you don't see that on most youtube videos. Objectively speaking the extra quality feels like wasted effort, but on the other hand it has 1m+ views and I became aware it, so there is that. And it's aged well.
As a follow-up to that comment I went on to pass my motorcycle test a year later - I probably would have never bothered if it hadn't been for this video, and Itchy Boots.
Hell yes, Ural! That brings back happy memories.
I used to ride a considerably older model (no engine lights to annoy you) that I absolutely loved. The right cylinder head would reliably rattle itself loose, I ended up carrying a wrench on me to tighten the nut every 100km or so (say at a stop light). It was really good at getting me where I wanted to go, provided that was straight and not too fast. When I took the bike over it had been standing in a garage for 10 years, with fuel in the tank. It started with that same fuel, though changing the dead battery involved taking half the bike apart.
Also, the little boot is the precise size of a standard German crate of beer. Coincidence? I think not!
That was the rocker cover, not the cylinder head. I ended up using Aerotight nuts on the studs that held them so I'd only have to use that spanner during servicing instead of every few days.
An awesome video! It’s tough to get a biker who has nor ridden a Ural to understand what the real charm to it is, but your video really captured it. You can’t look at it in comparison to a two wheeled bike and then decide between the two. It’s a genre all to its own, brining so much that a two wheeler can’t. Want never ending joy with the kids and grand kids, want your wife to enjoy riding, need help socializing - the delay factor is real! - then a Ural is your thing.
This guy is the “Anthony Bordain” of motorcycle reviews….love watching his stuff..I’ve had a 2018 Ural gear up for three years and have had no problems. I tow a Kompact Kamper trailer for camping and never go anywhere without my beautiful golden retriever. She absolutely loves riding with me!
Every good Comrade Ural-Rider knows that it only comes to life when your Babushka is in the side car carrying the bottle of Stolichnaya in her lap.
This is a tour de force of sound editing, video editing, and videography. All hail, Aneesh Shivanekar!

keep it up fort9!
I second that emotion. . . . (but did you see the level of athleticism at 4:46?) Hahahah
The best of them all was the background sounds. On point in every scene
Completely agree, it seems almost unreal!
I can attest to this. I saw a guy in a Ural halfway up Hell's Highway in Guangdong, China. He was keeping up with a KTM 790 Adventure!
Dont know how I missed this one- its one of your coolest videos. That looks like fun riding in the snow like that. I have ridden both dirt and street bikes in snow and have been riding since around 66 or 67- thanks for your videos most are super detailed and spot on
As the owner of a 1997 Ural Deco, I have been waiting for one of my UA-cam Motorcycle channels to cover the Ural and I am SO GLAD it was Fortnine. Really did justice in conveying the absurd, frustrating, and rewarding beauty in them.
You, sir, deserve an extra thumbs up!

"History recedes over ural like a glacier, leaving scars." Great line
It’s 2024 and I just watched this again because I remember how great this review was. Please, never lose that artistic appetite.

If you’re in a hurry, this isn’t the machine for you.
On the other hand, it’s the perfect rig for me.
I totally lost it when he says: in Soviet Russia, bike rides you lol
Is it just me or does anybody else feel like they want a Ural now
no
@gillan64 No, it's not just you*
@Joshua De Nunzio Like gillan64
@gillan64 considering you're replying on Christmas day instead of spending time with your family I say we are in the same boat
@gillan64 That's Bullshit Orthodox
That intro reminded me of a Wes Anderson film. You guys always keep me glued to the screen!
Not gonna lie F9 team "our bike" made me tear up a little made me remember the best friends and our greatest road trips
That nuclear power station is in Satsop, Washington. I worked there for nearly 3 years.
How long dose it take to walk up those stairs....
you mean Nucular :)
@@redbear1935 its spelled Nuclear. Unless this is a joke
@@patq1924 LOL I can't say for sure but being old enough to have lived through the Carter Presidency I suspect Redbear here was joking.... :D ua-cam.com/video/wHdl_0q-F60/v-deo.html
This nuclear plant is from Springfield. A friend of mine worked there as a safety engineer ;)
I'm tearing up when the soviet anthem played. And I'm asian.
Who doesn't?
Soviet is not only Russian. In USSR there were several Asian republics. Significant percent of the population was Asian.
novenzef people from nations that suffered from soviet union
Oh, they suffered so much, that during soviet times they prospered, and now they dying with alarming speed.
@@eugenemorozov depends which tv chanel news you are watching 😂
Just discovered your videos last week and can honestly not get enough.
Entertainment and education.
All with an incredible sense of quality and in this case especially artistic vision. Wes would approve.
Greetings from Germany.
I utterly love my 2009 Ural Tourist. Alas with the sidecar on the left here in Australia, we've only recently gotten 2wd. I still have managed to take it on epic trips through the country, through the desert, and over the highest snow-covered road in Australia (not that high, but we try). The previous owner circumnavigated the country in it, and I'd say a second round trip with me riding will be in its future sometime. Glory to the mighty Ural!
Also, UDF is a serious thing. You MUST always allow a minimum of an extra ten minutes per stop. MINIMUM.
Great review! I have the sister bike, the Ukranian Dnepr 2wd sidecar, which does have a diff (and a few less horsepower and drum brakes). Easier to turn, but not as capable off-road. Hilariously scary at any speed.
It’s ridiculous how well made your UA-cam content is! It’s absolutely brilliant and you quality is in a class of its own. Good job you have a bright future ahead of you!
The artistic touches you add to your videos are a great touch, and you have really outdone yourself with this one. Everyone enjoyed this one particularly the water crossing!
Your vids have such amazing production quality! Kudos to all involved!
My wife rides Ural... she loves it, I love it.... all love Ural. (It gets more attention than any other bike I've ever seen). If I could post pics I'd throw one up of her picking up the Christmas tree in her sidecar last Friday... in a snow storm.
I’ve heard of those bikes. The carbs can be adjusted to run on vodka.
I don't know if this is a joke or not...
Because for a moment, I think it is plausible
Rookie Wrenching I own one. Never tried it but... I’m sure it could! And that’s the beauty in them... you don’t think they can and they do it and you have so much fun!
Models from 2005 come with japonese mikuni carbs ( sake problably better). Models from 2015 onwards are ABS and electronic fuel injected. Merry Christmas!
Wrong way round,they run on vodka and can be adjusted to run on petrol
And of course, driver runs only on vodka too)))
Anything in russia can run on vodka
The music playing throughout the video totally makes it. Was waiting for a clip of the Red October under way.... Great video!!
Best URAL advert ever. Love it. Even after watching it multiple times over the years. Like the URAL, it never gets old.
I ride the urals sister bike, the dnepr, or in this case, it’s "older" sister, an Kmz K750 from 1963, the most unreliable thing about that old machine, is the carbs, but other then that, a 3 wheeled 750cc Side-valve 26 horsepower beast of some ww2 technology, is the best bike o have ever ridden, it’s not fast, but dam I love that reverse gear 💪🏻
хахахаха 1:34 "Ох, нихуя себе!" it is some kind of "fucking wow"
Imbe Tahimoto yeah, probably «нихуя себе» skill)))
@@vasileffdrive8657 tochnyak!
You guys deserve awards for that production and performance, it was superb !
Bravo on an amazing review video. Love the creativity you put into this. Thanks for creating this!
If Wes anderson was doing motorcycle review ! well done
I was hoping to be the first comment about this. You beat me to it.
Guest appearance by Bret! So cool!
One of the most fun videos you have made. I wanted to ride a friend's BMW with an attached Steg sidecar, but my friend was afraid I would wreck it. So, I bought a Motorvation sidecar (the very large fiberglass one with a fixed wind shield and a wheel and tire that would hold up a Toyota Carolla) and hanged it on to my poor Suzuki GS 850. It was easy to attach or detach with the optional roll away frame work, and I taught myself to ride a side car. I met my friend with the BMW side hack rig a few weeks later and when he rode the thing, he said that it handled better than his BMW. After my new wife and I went on a short road trip. Coming home on the interstate, we were bucking a 35 MPH head wind, with the throttle locked open in third gear, and my right foot pushing against the right handlebar to keep it on the road, while new wife and I screamed at each other through the slip stream. Traded the rig for a Fiat 124 Spyder. I really don't miss the rig. Well, maybe a little.
Ha ha ha, this is the best. Love the entertaining review. Wish I was there. Looking at buying the 2020 model for all roads in Australia with heaps of space and time to view the country side.
Best. UA-cam. Motorcycle Channel. Period.
Please keep the awesomeness flowing! from the sweeping shots of the cooling towers to the clicking of the Geiger counters in the background, your production values keep astounding me every time i re-watch your videos!
It has no differential so, like the Red Army, it will only go forward
... and yet, it somehow manages to get into reverse gear.
@@Stoney3K Is not reverse, is Australian forwards.
Yes, it does have reverse. But, like the Red Army, if you use it, you will be shot.
@@Stoney3K They asked the Russian engineers to give it Italian performance, so naturally it got a reverse gear
Love my Ural , my lady loves right hand side chair in left hand drive New Zealand ( she now identifies trucks by their oncoming headlights)
This just popped up on my list of videos and I loved it. Your production quality and humour are awesome! Thank you
There's nothing quite like the extraordinarily glorious Russian National Anthem. Unmatched.
Technically, it was the USSR anthem, but the score is identical, so you would be forgiven for making that error, comrade.
It sounds really glorious, isn't it. It make me feel like I want to conquer.
Rule Britannia comes Close but that isnt an anthem
I have the sudden urge to rewatch Hunt for Red October for the 2000th time 😁
nothing stirs the soul like the soviet national anthem
Say what you want about the Russians/Soviets, they had some BOMB ass composer's
@@clover8673 definitely
Stirs me to get outside and do some rifle practice.
Such a great editing and humor, I loved every second of the video!
I’m so envious of what amazing story tellers you guys are. I have no interest in this bike, but I’m pretty sure I’ve watched it 5 times since you put it out. Thank you!
