Ural Motorcycle
1976
I bought a Ural motorcycle from Piotr who owns Old Motors in Warclaw
Poland. I have been having a hard time communicating with him. He called
me but the language barrier has been difficult. Because you are in his
area and are in the motorcycle business I was hoping you could help by
giving me his number or Email or by getting a message to him with
my e mail adress
Thank You Don Beach

I finally took some picks today, here is one. If you look carefully at the bottom of the black fuel tank you can see the rolling stoppie that went a bit too high!
I love my outfit!

Was thinking of you just the other night, no particular reason just wondering how you were getting along.
Great to hear the Ural is working out for you - they do come up for sale here from time to time, but I've never really been tempted. Perhaps I should change my tune. I had an R69S with a Steib on it for quite some time - that was some special motorcycle, I don't mind telling you. What a great machine to ride. I once had it up to 90mph three up (yeah, right! Ed.), and it would have gone faster I'm sure had the clutch not begun to slip.
I'd give a great deal to get that one back.
If ever you need specialised knowledge on the Ural then Sheldon Arbut would be a great one to ask.
Cheers.
Finally got it done right about a month ago and been using it quite a lot, thanks to f2motorcycles.co.uk. He's really got it that guy, and now I understand the five-six week waiting list to get anything done! He threw away the Russian alternator and went through everything but everything, now I feel like I have a brand new outfit.
My outfit is simply too much fun and comes complete with a good dose of sheer terror on bends! You simply must get your hands on one for a short holiday, an experience not to be missed.
Yours
Paul
