Thank you... I agree  . I have just sold 2 x Honda CL350 I had to leave some space to my wife's pristine BMW F650GS so if my calculation is OK, another flat could join the family in the future... Fortunately, my wife does not read the forum (yet).

Bienvenue, l'Ouraliste!

Merci Warthog,
Yes, the Patrol is almost identical to the Sportman... But I still can't understand how a Ural sidecar can have the word "Sport" in its name...:confused1: Maybe it becomes a sport when you have to push it?
Seriously, my Ural has been solid and reliable as a rock (yes, a rock can be reliable) and although it needs a bit more maintenance than modern bikes, its simplicity and pleasure/$ ratio makes it a great adventure bike.

Thank you John. Sorry for posting  . I'm already on different forums (BMW, Ural, Dual Sport bikes), but HU is the only one where I find very valuable information focused on what I love and what I want to do in the next, let's say 15 years. So I think you're right: there is a fit.

Welcome to the HUBB!

And she's the Dog!!! Seriously, traveling by Ural sidecar with a dog creates a lot of delay (AKA UDF or Ural Delay Factor) but it is also nice. I usually travel solo when I'm with my motorbike and the dynamic with the sidecar + dog is different (just taking into consideration the poo/pee stop).
