Lucky son of a bitch!!! I’d love a Ural (Russian BMW) with the airhead motor. It’s now a collector’s item that needs to be ridden (exercised)!!!
Uncle Vlad!!! 🤔😄😀😃😂

Hey, it's worth a shot!
lol. Well played. I'm having trouble locating an affordable Russian sks.
They may be hard to find, but you might have better luck with Chinese or Warsaw Pact production. i managed to find an SKS that was revised to accept AK-47 magazines. But not a drum magazine, as i found out. The stock would need to have some interfering material removed. I was told that was a federal no-no, but put on my surly face and said nothing. Might not be safe to do. The stock is plastic fiber, and cutting could raise unhealthy dust.
You can modify your own guns in any way that you want as long as you don't turn it into an NFA item. There's no reason you cannot make it accept a drum magazine.
Wow! What a great gift! If it was me I'm not so sure I would ride it.
"I'm not so sure I would ride it."
...heck of a collectors item...
My thoughts exactly.
Worst thing for a machine is to sit and do nothing. They stay in better condition when used and maintained well.
Edit: Another added benefit are the stories made while using it.
Why not? There are bikes I'd rather have, but I'd still love to have one, and they deserve to be ridden.
Like Ashland said, it would be a hell of a collectors item. Sure go ahead and ride it but if you crash it .......
My thought? Get another bike that is not collectable.
A little hard to see in the photo, but the Ural is a sidecar motorcycle, where the sidecar wheel can be engaged for 2-wheel drive.
I can see the sidecar now that you mentioned it. So cool. The photographer should have adjusted the angle a bit.
The brand is fairly easy to find on the internet, and there are profuse photos from the sidecar angle. Not cheap. A standard model is about $21,000.
That is a beautiful bike. Good for him
