Basem Wasef reviews 2009 Ural T Sidecar
Our buddy Basem from About.com just got the first ride on the new $10,000 Ural T sidecar, finding that the 40bhp Russian-made throwback is prone to "lift throttle oversteer." Basem, aren't you supposed to be more responsible than us?About.com

That is a very cool jacket.
Said hooliganism is only one of the things that I loved about my hack and also helps explain why I'll be picking up my new (used) one from Doug Bingham as soon as I get out to CA this summer.
Hilairious! Those crazy russians.
M/C reviews on about.com? Sure why not.
"Sidecars were then and have always been the practical alternatives to cars. They are for getting to work economically and for taking the family out for a picnic ... If you are obsessed with high technology and speed, forget it. It's like the difference between kayaking and jet-skiing". 100% agree. I can only add that Urals are capable for what other motorcycles simply can't do. Check out manufacturer's website http://www.imz-ural.com/downloads/movies.htm
I am trying to picture it without the sidecar and I think I really like it. Has anyone seen a Hayabusa Sidecar. It is definately worth googling. Is that a boxer engine on the Ural? The Ural is a product of chemical warfare, the color red, caviar, and chilled vodka.
Here are Ural solos:

I'm not so sure about chemical warfare and caviar.
Chilled vodka? Maybe.
Simple. Pure. And definitely functional :-).
I really like the look of this new T
