(110kph for 6 hours for me to leave my home to the City. Also no water cooling a slight concern... so I will keep my old Wing. @@johnnyst.4372

    Nice to see a Gear Up & a CT on the same ride. It sure dispels a LOT of biased thinking about what a CT with good rubber (& rider) can do.
    This is the kind of ride THIS old man can do (2016 GU Ambassador)!
    My days of radical riding is in my rear view mirror, and I just tell the youngsters to “Wait for this old man at the intersection!”
    If there are any old guys/gals out there on these (We are a minority out there!) in Western Mass that want to form a club (or if you know of one), let me know! I’m in!

      @goodsparkgarage  4 роки тому +2

      @@dannymcguiness3103 Hi, Danny. Yes, with the knobbie tires installed on the 1WD, it did great in this particular terrain. Of course, it helped to have some offroad riding experience that informs you when to weight the drive wheel, when to keep momentum, when to lug the engine, etc. To answer your question on the 2wd being 'needed', we would say the 2wd provides much more confidence. In these conditions, there were hills and drop-offs that can be intimidating, the extra traction on that outside wheel really made a difference, which makes for a less white-knuckle approach. Now, if 1wd is all you have, we've made our Urals go a lot of places people might be surprised to see!

  • @kevinmccarley7121
    @kevinmccarley7121 Рік тому

    Enjoyed the video! So, is it better to load the sidecar with ballast, to maintain left-right CG, or run it empty to reduce weight? And how were the Urals on the road sections? Thanks!

    • @goodsparkgarage
      @goodsparkgarage  Рік тому

      Glad you dig the vid! On this trip, we did not add weight in the sidecar. For someone not familiar with sidecar riding, some weight would provide a bit more confidence (we've heard some people using 100+lb sandbags). That would settle it down and make the sidecar feel more planted. After many hours of riding sidecar motorcycles, you start to anticipate when and where to place your body as a counterweight. On these steep hills, less weight probably helped the 41hp powerplants tackle the terrain a little easier.
      As for road riding, these Urals do great. If they're set up correctly, it's smooth sailing. Of course, a rookie needs to watch the right-turns at speed to be sure the rising sidecar doesn't scare 'em into swerving across the centerline. With some time in the saddle, you'll be able to adapt to its mannerisms just fine (see our video, "How to Ride a Sidecar Motorcycle: ua-cam.com/video/kNCDA679Vbs/v-deo.html).
      Thanks for tuning in!

    How have these been holding up hitting these sorta trails? I’ve found when I use mine like this, things really start to break more than usual. . .

    • @goodsparkgarage
      @goodsparkgarage  6 років тому +3

      Hi, Sarah. Our bikes are holding up quite well. While we do occasionally off-road them, most miles are logged on the pavement. These kinds of trails will put the hurt on a lot of vehicles! We check bolts and nuts during and after off-roading (which we've had to do with buggies, go-karts, dirt bikes, and any vehicle that we've taken thru the rough stuff). Even when riding aggressive, we try to be careful when it comes to the mechanical aspects of the rigs. We've seen people unnecessarily burn up their clutch or bang the gears in a panic, rather than using an alternative approach to help preserve the equipment. So far, so good!

    Cool trails. I’d been keeping an ear out for banjo music if it were me. Maybe I’ve just seen “deliverance” too many times? What year models are those bikes? Mine is a 2011 and it won’t go like these two.

    • @goodsparkgarage
      @goodsparkgarage  4 роки тому +1

      The rigs in the vid are 2016 models (fuel injected). We've had our 2010 carb'd model out in the rough stuff and it does relatively well, but only when we ran knobbies. The stock street-oriented tires don't offer much grip in loose or slippery trail conditions.

    Finally! I have been searching for Ural videos for three weeks, looking for something that is similar to what I want and like to ride. I traded a KTM 690 for a 2012 Ural T 1wd. I was hoping I could take it to places just like this! What a relief. The orange one is 1wd correct? Also to see guys standing on the pegs. A little air beneath the tires. Ha!
    Have you guys made any other videos? This one was fantastic.
    Thanks!

    • @goodsparkgarage
      @goodsparkgarage  6 років тому +1

      Congrats on the Ural purchase. Yes, the orange bike is a 2016 1wd cT with knobbies installed (necessary for off-roading in the wet or loose stuff). We've got some other Ural-related vids here on our UA-cam channel, click on our handle and you'll see several. Have fun out there!

      Jeff Holaday I have a CT, and have ridden these sorta trails with the stock K28 tires. They do amazing on gravel, but it’s drift city in mud. I’ve never gotten stuck, you just have to commit and know how it’s going to react. Tons of fun off road, but I’ve been through a final drive and two output shafts from this kinda riding . .

    What does cleaning and maintenance look like after something like this

    • @goodsparkgarage
      @goodsparkgarage  Рік тому +1

      Similar to ATVs or dirtbikes that get caked in mud - it requires some time to blast off, then wash again, then wash a bit more if you want to get it back to spotless. There are lots of nooks and crannies (joints, brake systems, engine fins, etc.) Of course, after riding in the rocky stuff, it's good to check bolts and connections, but we didn't have any concerning issues outside of some scrapes and nicks from the loose, rutty, rocky terrain. In the end, this muddy ride was worth the clean-up!
