...but I seriously want one of these:
It's a Ural Patrol...yes, that Ural of Stalin Era Soviet fame.
The Patrol seems to be based off the late 30's and early 40's BMW R 71 motorcycle that gained a rough and tumble reputation, especially in foul weather.

And yes, Olive Drab is the only color it should come in.

Want to get dirty? Looking for a bike that can travel those snow-covered roads like no other? Look no further.
In a class by itself, the Patrol is the only motorcycle in the world manufactured with an on-demand sidecar drive. This street legal ATV gives you the ability to switch between single-wheel drive and the unbelievable traction of dual-wheel drive with the flip of a lever!

I love bikes, and although I don't think I'd ever want a sidecar, that is a cool scoot."They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Only if it came with Sean COnnery carrying an umbrella in the sidecar.If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

I have test ridden one! The BMW motorcycle dealer in Iowa City IA also sells them, and they had a demo one when I test rode a BMW bike. They are just plain cool! You get this retro type feeling when you ride one, like you should be wearing a Red Baron hat and a scarf! They are actually pretty nice to ride. A little under-powered and you won't win any races, but pretty smooth and I'm told they are pretty reliable. I wouldn't have one as my primary ride, but a used one to have as a second bike, that would be very cool!DKG999

OK Brett, maybe I'm just a dumb white hetero country boy that is incapable of understanding this ............ but why is something that to me looks just pure retro equated with being ****?
Not intended to be a critical comment at all, I really don't understand?DKG999

I rode the older Ural motorcycles and those are built like tanks.
On the other hand, I also rode fully restored early 40s BMW Sahara motorcycle (the one that fascists were using in the Sahara desert during WWII). The side drive wheel is awesome.Panasonic PT-AE4000U projector for movies
