Those Urals are cool, though I hear they're hard to ride in a straight line. ;D

Welcome Ray! :)

Oooh, a Ural for sale, don't tempt me. [cheeky]

Which model Monster are you thinking of?

Thanks for the welcomes and pointing out the Northwest forum.

I'm hoping for an M900 or 1000. Debating the carb vs. fuel injection thing right now. My first Monster was a '97 M900 that fairly sounded like a jet when I fired it up in the mornings. It was euro-spec as I was stationed in Italy at the time. Lately I'm "needing" that bike again.

BTW--Making a Ural go straight...that's a laugh. You basically zig zag down the road (though this can be done with small throttle adjustments).
