sidecar nklr (not much anyway)

[Russell A Locke]

Careful.......I only have 700 kms on my Ural but it is great fun. And it goes straight fairly well. I get a kick out of the sticker on the tank though, that says "Right turns and Left turns can be dangerous." I guess the other turns are safe enough so I just try to never turn right or left......Now as for a Ural hack on a KLR, I doubt that would be worth the effort. My Ural bike was specificially designed for the side car and works well (it does have telescopic forks, however, which I may change out for Earls type before I take it to AK next summer.)
