Hey guys: the site is mighty quiet - what will these new members think of us - a bunch of dumb mutes? Dumb maybe - but mute? Never! Steve (Who is still...

Steve, Don't do it. I sold mine and a few months later I bought another, a little easyer for me then you. How many years did U search for one. Dave, who is...

Hi Ian These guys have had the same site up for a couple of years now - no new pictures. They used to be one of Hannes's dealers. Also, the AvantGarde has no...
Glad you're enjoying it, Dave! The R100S I swapped you for and then killed is now in St. Louis in the shop of a guy who, ironically, plans to put a sidecar on...
Hi Steve, I'm butting in here... Back at home now after my 2 years with my 'green' colleagues in Winchester. The outfit is getting more miles under its belt...
Jeez - you guys are making it harder, not easier! Maybe I should just detach the Flexit and ride the bike as a solo for a while... S ... again. ... year ... ...
No don't be silly just get rid of the Guzzi, a BMW GS, up grad the suspension, put some grab handles so Bronwin can hold on and there you go, the forst ever...
Hi All, Help if I may. What do you call the front fitting the allows the flexing mechanism on the front mounting attached to the bike. The rubber cover has...
Hi Frank That's a commercially available sealed joint known variously as a Heim joint, or Rod End; any good fastener shop should have them on the shelf. Most...
John In a word: Don't. Ural materials are so poor that you'd risk serious injury trying to alter the fundamental designs of the Ural. Either stick with it as a...
I AGREE These bikes are made to work in very rough conditons and to fixed with a big hammer and a screw driver. I have a feeling that any rigid would be able...
Thanks; I'd pretty much made that decision due to the weight. Leaning into ahard turn, running into it's lean limit and having it flip back the other way is a...
There's a guy in Germany who had a Flexit on a 1200 kawasaki - on slicks for track days. Apparently he'd lean to to the stops, then "fly" the chair. Going the...
"What makes you think it would "flip back the other way"?" A Kaw can be set up to lean a lot farther than a Ural. The equilibrium point would be reached a lot...

... Well........yeah! That'd be a "duh"......... :-) Ralph Kalich in Germany, has made a lot of his "Swing" sidecars to attach to BMW twins. A Ural car is...
John, precisau AND i had a fairly interesting discussion on what happens when a leaner gets to the stops on this site quite a while ago. Don't rememebr the...
You're right: the URAL is a lousy candidate for a leaner. That's why I have abandoned that idea and am pursuing on-the-fly lean adjustment, just to compemsate...
I am of the opinion that Ural's entire success in the US, is because it's the absolute cheapest rig you can buy. Heh- you get what you pay for. Caveat emptor. ...
John - good on yer! I will never be a grandfather - any boy who touches my daughter will meet an immediate and painful end - (I have 20 acres,a shotgun and a ...
After several months of searching I've finally managed to buy myself a Flexit, Yipee!!! Never realized until I started looking how rare these things are...
Hi Paul, I'm one of the other owners in the UK. Had mine for 11 years and have covered just under 90,000 miles with it. With regard to fitting to a Triumph...
Hi Frank, we've exchanged emails before but not through this group. I live up in Selby North Yorkshire. The inlaws live in Dorset so if/when I get the Flexit...
