I've been wanting to travel the country this year, using something unique which will add to the adventure. Had my mind set on a Land Rover Defender, and finally found what I thought was the perfect one. Flew out to Texas to check it out, and it ended up being a pile of shit. Every single one for the 30k ish mark, ended up being trash.
Abandoned that idea, and started looking at new adventure style motorcycles. The only issue with that is, my girlfriend hates riding 2up, but I figured she would get used to it. Went to the local dealer to check out some bikes, and we both ended up falling in love with a Ural out of all things. I might be the youngest person to own one of these things... My local dealer didn't have what I wanted in stock, so I purchased one out of state. Finally arrived yesterday, after a month of waiting.
This stupid thing is way too much fun.
