This would be the first ever ride with two Urals. New guy Philippe contacted Riley and wanted to go off-roading for the first time ever in his shiny new fuel injected Ural. After a quick look at all the improvements Ural has made since Riley bought his Gear Up in 2008 the group set out for the trails. Super Dave makes another appearance on his BMW F650, 7000, 800, whatever that thing is, to complete the trio. Surprisingly we stop at Tim Hortons before arriving at the little sandpit. Philippe uses two wheel drive for the first time and makes it up the hill. We decide to check out the infamous Black Lake. I had mentioned that the water would be too deep to fjord in the Urals. When we get to the end of the disappearing road Riley decides to roll into the water and see how deep it is. Philippe takes this as his cue that we are crossing and goes for it. He floods out his new ride. At the same time Riley’s Ural seems to have lost all it’s gears. Time to pull out wrenches and get busy. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

3 middle aged men having fun on their quirky bikes. nice!
Thats what it is all about!
Torque spec on that plug is 18
@@entropicgirl8648 Looked at those exhausts a while back. I little steep budget wise. I don't do hardcore off-road on the Ural. I don't even have a skidplate.....
I find these Ural videos very relaxing in comparison to the other bikes!
They key to Ural ownership is a relaxed disposition. You don't get anywhere fast.
My wife bought a Ural a few months ago and I've ridden it a couple times... it's very enjoyable but not a bike for someone who's in a hurry.
Really enjoyed watching the adventure, the running review and humour. two years later and in the middle of a lockdown this is just what we need.
Thanks Peter. I think motorcyclists are burning up the internet instead of the roads these days. We wil have a live event this weekend at some point.
First rule of Canadian driving...
Never go to Tim Horton's without me 😔
I had a good laugh with Riley's excellent mood. Well done and thank you so much for a great 35 minutes :)
Excellent review. Warts and all. Thank you!
"Das Boot" LOL
Just what I needed after a long day. Thanks, Riley.
Enjoyed the video.Glad to see everything turned out OK.
I love you guys. I'm also in the early 50'es and i miss the off road rides with my friends and father in law. I sold my bike two years ago forced by my wife because "it's not safe, and you have kids to grow". P.S. Romania here
Thats too bad. We have had a few injuries over the years. This summer was bad. Ivan broke his leg and a Marc destroyed a knee. Everyone is healing up pretty well.
Yes! Thanks and keep 'em coming. I hope you get the chance to ride together for the summer
Amazing video, ...thank you for letting us join your very interesting adventure.
It all reminds me of the years far back in the past when I used to travel with my friends on all kinds of bikes... not all reliable but we always managed to make them run and take us back home. ... I'd say even with only one wheel left. It was always great fun that most of modern bikers won't understand.

Thanks for making the effort to post. Good watching whilst doing house work :)
Thank you for another video, it came just in time too to get me through the first day at work after my Europe vacation with the wife!
Was that to get over the trip or the wife lol
Where did u get to in europe
Steve
It's all about the fun factor, if it puts a smile on your face it's worth every penny . Stay safe , keep smiling.
Very true. A ride to the store on a Ural is big fun.
Great adventure! Thanks fore shareing! 😊👍❤️
My pleasure Stefan.
keep riding guys...I love your adventures.
That was certainly interesting. Appreciate yet another entertaining adventure.
i love the way you make the video, very clear, alot of informations . realy enjoy it like i was there. thank you.
Thanks Aliana. We are slowly earning as we go.
I haven't watched one of your videos for a long time. Great to see that you're still at it.
Still plugging away.
There is another video showing a Ural on fire! The rider used his jacket to put it out and got on and started it and drove off......Crazy hardcore.
Hey, this video was very well done!! I’m in California and have had my 2018 gear up for four months and loving it. I haven’t been off-road yet, you guys have certainly inspired me to try it. Thanks!
Thanks Joel. I think you will really enjoy getting it dirty. I haven't had a chance to try one of the fancy new fuel injected ones with real brakes but I imagine it must be nice. Cheers.
th-cam.com/video/q9Gk_a36NVY/w-d-xo.html
lovin it guys!!!
Love your vids guys always enjoy watching
Thanks. Cheers.
Those things are cool I've never even heard of that brand until I saw your video I had to look them up they have lots of history. Awesome video.
They are a lot of fun. I kind of bought it as a 1 summer toy and I have now had it for 10 years.
When checking if a bike has been flooded, remove the spark plug and kick it over gently to see if any water comes out.
Or if you are with a friend, ask them to look closely if they can see any water in the engine, then hit the starter!
Love the Ural's!
Do you do this while still in the water?
...or if you're with a friend just give him a long straw!!! LOL
@@MacBeanDS yes, preferably when the bike is submerged
Another fun video as always. I got a friend interested in getting a Ural sometime down the road so I'm sure he'll enjoy this video.
Ural is the bike that makes everyone smile. Even the cops wave.
Glad you guys had a lot of fun and plenty of smiles.
Always better to laugh it off and just keep on trucking otherwise off-roading would be a very frustrating experience. I guess that is why some people come on one ride and we never see them again.
Great video 👍🏻
Fantastic
Phillip thank you MOST!
Nice video guys , and it was great fun to watch too . And by the way , greetings from Sweden guys and stay safe out on the roads . . :o) .
Thanks Bill!
You guys remind me of my teen youth with brother. We got ourselves in the funniest predicaments challenging common sense life. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE LAUGHS AND MY MEMORIES!
Bad decision making is the source of many an adventure!
Great Video Thumps up :-)
great video !!!!!
Thanks for the visit
Interesting adventure!
Thanks sean.
Здорово покатались!У меня такой же Гирап.Скоро тоже помчу куда-нибудь)))
Nice Video. 👍
Hahhahaha.. I guess I would be worried too if I had flooded my engine.. in a brand new bike heheh!!
Awesome adventure and congrats to the noobs!
Great video mate! \m/
Thanks bud.
В советское время мотоциклы Урал и Днепр (Днепр - это аналог Урала, только производился на другом заводе и у него было качество хуже) были для советских людей самыми доступными транспортными средствами. Их еще называли "тяжелые" мотоциклы. Они были очень распространены в сельской местности, были незаменимыми помощниками - могли проезжать по бездорожью, транспортировать огромные грузы, к ним даже прицепляли автомобильные прицепы. Очень проходимые, тяговитые и выносливые мотоциклы! Они были с большим расходом топлива, некачественные, но зато их можно было починить в поле, грязи и под дождем. Тем более, что они стоили небольших денег и намного дешевле автомобиля. Еще продавались мотоциклы Иж и Ява с прицепом (коляской), но у них объем двигателя был меньше - 350. Автомобилей было очень мало, их выпуск не поспевал за спросом.
А сейчас Урал стоит как бюджетный российский автомобиль. И это очень печально!
Безусловно, очень интересная история. У меня уже 15 лет, и я все еще наслаждаюсь им. Спасибо за сообщение. (Deepl translation)
ROCK ON Dave is awsome
Very Nice bike
With URALs you either love them or you hate them. No middle ground. And that goes for sidecars in general. Lots of fun as a winter ❄️☃️ bike, but fun all year. Dogs and women love sidecars. With a big floof of a dog 🐕 in the chair people have to say hi and pet the 🐕 dog.
Enjoy your vlog a great deal. I had a MZ sidecar about 20 years ago and have on two wheels before and after the MZ. I am starting to get the sidecar itch again. I have several modern Triumphs and a 2017 Royal Enfield 500 so I know slow riding.
I really have enjoyed the Ural's slower pace. I bought it as a bit of a lark since the delivery of my 800 was delayed by a year. I figured I would ride it for one summer and sell it. That was 10 years ago!
Wish you guys did more ural videos!
Awesome!
Crazy!
This was nice
Besutifull nature
every single one of your videos is entertaining, fun and relaxing to watch. pleaso do more! :) greetings from poland! when i'm done with my summer enduro adventure I will send you the link to my video so you can see what you inspired me to do ;)
Sounds good. Cheers.
LOL I bet he was surprised as well ;-) cheers
Great video God's Ramones be many many many years ago when I was a kid did same thing with a Model A Ford only it was a little bit more reliable LOL
Thanks Jim. Some of that old Ford steel has ben probably been recycled into Urals. Cheers.
I'll be heading past Exit 41 in a couple of weeks, hope to see you on the road!
Drop me a line at info@apormc.com and we will try to meet.
Watching the video... "hmm... sounds like maybe Canadian guys?"... next shot shows Tim Hortons...
We really enjoy getting up to the Algonquin area once a year or two - fun riding and gives us the chance to have some proper poutine. Glad both Urals survived the swim, must be the Russians know how to seal up the bits that can't get wet - there are videos of them crossing water that required snorkel kits that bring the intake up the back of the rider (whole bike under water).
Those guys crossing the crazy rivers in Russia had much bigger balls than me.
Awesome vid guys. I'm about to buy a dirty old Chinese CJ750 with a sidecar (Military replica) and I expect entertaining times will be had. I'm in New Zealand, great places to go here. I couldn't bring myself to buy a Ural, because I know all my friends will call it "The urinal".
Hi Antony. Sounds like you are on your way to some interesting stories. I know with the Ural every trip somehow becomes a little adventure. My buddies do call my bike the Urinal.....
Wow all those are exceptionally nice! So hope o can get an old bike one day
They really are a lot fun. I bought it thinking I would keep it for one summer. It has been 15 years now.
@@AwesomePlayers that's awesome man yea they look like such fun bikes to play around on
I had a 98 Ural from 14 to 16. I bought it cheap needing carburetor cleaning and sold it for a profit. But I do miss it a lot.
I've come close to selling a few times but can never bring myself to do it.
"Das boot" lol.
Bout fell out of my chair.

Will do.
Very nice video!
Merci Luc.
There is a version where you are silent? and sound of running engine prevails! Unbearable hear narcissistic incessant croaking. Annoying flaw of most bloggers and video reviewers؛
Is it really so difficult? At least a few minutes in quiet.. 5:20
Sergey Nikolajev ??!!!???
That's great!
Thanks.
Bravo 👍😁
Thanks bud.
@@AwesomePlayers 😁🖐️
Don't know how I missed this one but love it! Good fun and adventure as usual. Looks like super Dave works at RR on Cote de liesse? My Dad worked there for 35 years many moons ago (retired in 1984). Please say Cheers from Frank!
I passed the message on. Cheers.
I'm defiantly making a point to get out there this year with the drz
I would love to get up on the VMUT one day as well.
I saw other clips for the ural and they pretty much cross some deep rivers, now I'm wondering what changes they did to it to be able to go so deep in the water.
I wanted to get one but I'm not too sure now.
Thanks for your clip, was awesome to watch
Apparently they run the air intake into the sidecar. Ural is not an ATV. In stock form the very low mufflers limit it off-road. Great for gravel and bombing around but it has its limitations. I still love mine. Haven't really had the need to do much deep water in it.
@@AwesomePlayers thank you
"You will certainly waste all your money",
I'm sure that some people would say
But although I won't sell my Honda
I'll buy an Ural someday ! -::)))
Great video, man!
Exactly. Here a motorcycle is really a toy for most. The Ural is a fantastic toy. I have had mine for 10 years and it makes me smile everytime I ride it.
I’ve wanted one for awhile. Seems akin to off-roading my old Subaru. No gears, so give’r! Wonder how they do in the winter? We only get about two feet of very dry, powdery snow each winter. There’s a red sidecar rig here in town, but can’t get close enough to ID it as a Ural.
Can't really play in the snow here much because of the salt. The few time I have had it in the sno it has been fun and the limit has been ground clearance. Not much room under the pipes.
Buy the look of it he just stalled out and heads filled via the exhaust
You just screwed up a shift and had something between gears
The Ural has no problem going in water over the gas tank as they are designed that way
As for ground hight clearance
Don't worry to much about it, again designed to go off road and will go way more places the next a regular off-road bike
Great video
Get busy Live'n or Die'n The Amir intake is oddly on the bottom of the air filter housing. A few inches above the cylinders. Below level of bottom of tank.
Awesome Players agree but because of its position when going through water
The water passes buy it
Its a strange thing to think about but they will go through lots of water you just have to keep moving
Looking forward to seeinv more adventures of yours
"Uralista " made me smile .
I’m soon getting a gear up and what would you recommend for gps system and go pro. Love your vids
Stu Pollock Hey Stu. For GPS I really like the Montana series. Most of us use those now. For GoPro anything 3 or higher has decent image but the 7 and up have amazing service stabilization and a better picture.
ЭТА ДОРОГА ВОКРУГ ЛУЖИ КАК ЕЗДА НА АВТОБАНЕ.5 ЛЕТ ЕЗДИЛ НА УРАЛЕ В КАЗАХСТАНЕ ПО СТЕПИ. ВОТ ЭТОБЫЛО ВПЕЧАТЛЕНИЕ!!!
Translation by Google™ Translate
Звучит как удивительное путешествие. Спасибо за просмотр.
Heartfelt greetings guys from Quebec expat !
Always glad to see sights from La Belle Province!!
I AM CURIOUS!!
I'm curious as to what have become of that air leak by the spark plug of the drowned Ural. I myself have a 2WD Dnepr with SV engine.
The danger of drowning a running engine is that since water doesn't compress once it's sucked into the cylinder something usually has to give. Either the connecting rod, gasket or the... head gets damaged. Any news on that persistent bubbling - even with a new compression ring?
The Germans were thought to ford water (up to certain depth of course :) but never to rev the engines while stuck and cut it out completely at the first sign of flooding of the intakes. Salut bye!
Apparently he took it to the dealer and all they did was tighten the plug more and the leak went away. We tightened it pretty good and used a new plug so I'm guessing there was a flaw in the seat of the plug or something. I wouldn't want to use too much force on those aluminium threads.
Damn I thought you might emulate the Russians by floating the Ural across the stream.Maybe you need to install some flotation devices like in Canoes LOL :D
I saw that crazy video.
@@AwesomePlayers - нет, неправильная эксплуатация, нужно всё переделывать в этом мото, завод не готовит для воды мото. Нужно силиконовые провода от авто. И пластик от канистры например на защиту (крыло) заднего колеса чтобы на ноги не брызгала вода. Ну и другие народные доработки )))
Nice video, as usual! You guys plan to ride this year? Around end of April, early May I will passing by on my way to Labrador City and the East side of the country...
I went up that way two years ago. I stayed in Fermont for a couple days. It's funny, in Fermont everyone is French Canadian and a few kilometers down the road in Labrador City everyone is a Newfie.
FYI Fermont has a strip club. Another story.
It was a fun trip but the bugs! FUCK! It's no wonder those poor moose are always out on the road.
Be prepared for literal clouds of black flies. I don't know when would be a good time for the bugs, I think I was there the middle of June, probably the height of black fly season. I figure I'll go in August next time but early on sounds good too.
Thanks Rick! The idea is precisely that. Maybe is better to fight a little with the cold and not with the bubs!
I can remember when New Urals were $3900 brand new.
I've got to say, that was stressful to watch. xd Hopefully Philip didn't get discouraged by this adventure.
He kept rolling and is a way better Ural rider now than I will ever be.
Glad to hear ;) Keep up the good work!
Always been fascinated by these bikes, would love to have one, quirky, like an old VW?
They are a lot of fun. Easy to work on and a create way to meet people.
I bought new 1995 Sportsman Ural. It has a differential full time 2 wheel drive, if the sidecar wheel spins you don't go. I put a 1974 BMW R60 engine with 1974 R90 top end for more torque and speed, I had no problem keeping up with my Harley riders, flying the chair on right hand and sliding through left hand. I put enough miles on to cause the Sportsman final drive to need rebuilt, unfortunately Ural stopped making the Sportsman final drive, since my Ural was my only transportation, the Ural dealer had a patrol final drive on the shelf, so I put a patrol rear drive on welded necessary items to place the engagement items for 2 wheel drive lock now it handles same as yours. top speed is near 100 mph. still only 30 mpg.
Hi Don. I had read about the full time system. Really seems like that would be the ideal setup with the option to lock the rear diff when needed. 160 km/hr on a Ural must be interesting. My Gear Up has seen 120 km/hr once on a big downhill and it was feeling pretty sketchy. No problems running more power through the transmission?
@@AwesomePlayers The gears in 1995 were heat treated by color, 3 shifts, if one was on the red side - soft, if on the yellow side of orange hard and brittle, in the mid orange just right. I went through several gear sets until I got ones the correct hardness. The Sportsman full time 2 wheel did not have any option to lock the differential.
@@donbahn1319 Interesting. Maybe one day the good folks at Ural will make some big changes to the drivetrain. The certainly have done a lot since I started being interested in 2007.
@@AwesomePlayers I doubt it, the cost of making a planetary gear system like the one used on the Sportsman is why they stopped making it and continued only with the Patrol. The patrol uses a sliding spline coupler, much less expensive than the 5 small gears between the outer drive and inner driven system of the Sportsman final drive.
@@donbahn1319 They are certainly trying to keep costs down I'm sure. Current system gets it done even if it is unsophisticated. Plus the open differential on the Sportsman would be a problem when stuck. At their current price the new ones are for a different market segment.
Uralista? Surely it's Uralogist. :D
I like it.
@@AwesomePlayers in Russia the owners are called 'uralovody' (it's 'Ural' + 'vodyt'' ' (to drive in Russian)).
@@TurboTingol I will start using that!
Funny story, and nice to ear some french too...
Merci mon ami!
do you not walk the obstacle / water first. Anyway great Vids keep it up
We've been across there a million times. I had told the boys we wouldn't be crossing since it was too deep for the Urals. Was very surprised when he went for it!
Great video! I've been playing with the idea of getting a Ural sometime this year. There's a new (ish) one at a local dealer, a 2016 (18km) for $17,000 which was won in a raffle and immediately traded by the new owner for a Harley. I have a few bikes and was toying with the idea of getting one mostly for snow riding in winter as I like to ride my XR650L in the snow covered trails but it gets sketchy at times and I usually assume a 50% chance of a low speed "lay-down" per trip. How do you find yours in the snow?
Given the off road limits of the vehicle (and my lack of common sense) I may choose to find a well used one for around $6-$8K so I don't wreck $20K of machine in it's first year of use. Any insights?
Was stuck in the snow on Sunday. Traction was OK with my semi bald tires but ground clearance is low. Certainly not an ATV. I would probably buy used to see if I liked it first. Either way they are a lot of fun and they make everyone you meet smile like no other vehicle I've seen.
Thanks, I will look into used. Figure might be fun for carrying kids, dogs and scuba gear etc.
You have a dry clutch on ural, so when you pulled the clutch lever those disks became wet and water acts like lube on this type of clutch.
Yup. Live and learn.
To put in reverse preload reverse lever with right foot while keeping little pressure on it shift to neutral with left foot. Easy Peasy...
Hi Naz keep posting
Steve
Thanks for a great video from an ex dneper owner. try snow next time it's good
The problem here is the damn salt. You might get one ride before they cover the place in the stuff. Got a little on the bike once and the Russian locktite started right away.
you need to replace the high-voltage wires with rubber ones like on a car so that the candle is blocked, at least for an off-road, and bring the air intake higher.
True. I don't really use the Ural for nasty stuff though.
Years ago the service manager at the BMW dealer in Raleigh, North Carolina, told me of having a bike in after a certain off-road incident. The rider had setup for a turn in the mountains but read it wrong, ending up going off the turn, down an embankment, and into a pond. The service manager goes into shop to check of water got into the final drive then comes back out and summons the owner by saying, "who's the U-Boat driver?!"
A nice quote from the movie Risky Business.
@@AwesomePlayers HA! I had no idea - looking up the release date for that movie I was far too young and my parents too fundie Christian at the time. I assume a vehicle ends up in the drink in the movie?
what kind of driving license is required to drive a Ural with sidecar in Quebec?
Standard motorcycle license. The laws just changed so now someone with a learners permit no longer needs an escort. Much better better idea.
As someone who is still a Ural wannabe, I loved the video! If I may ask, what is the yellow device on the right handlebar?
SPOT tracker. A kind of emergency tracker.
I had seen these before but never mounted on a motorcycle. Smart idea.
Great video, interesting bikes, I think I'll stick with my TW200. lol
I have always wanted a TW200. Haven't seen a killer deal on a used one here yet.
look at this guy he put a sidecar on his gs 1200 th-cam.com/video/fKiFeJQwUmE/w-d-xo.html
Я первый раз видел как попала вода в радиатор через свечи. Это нереально! Сколько езжу на мотоцикле, не разу такого не было, а я и на Восходе ездил, на Минске ездил, на Урале ездил, на Иже ездил. Не разу такого не было, либо вода попадает через что ещё, необходимо смотреть.
Он точно поступил через впуск. На этих моделях воздухозаборник перенесен на дно воздуховода! (used Google translate)
How have your Urals done? I hear nothing but bad things about them yet I still want one!
It you want a Honda experience then certainly don't buy a Ural. Most folks I know are happy with theirs. Mine is over ten years old and has only 10,000 kms but so far I have changed one relay for the flashers.
yes, it is a old railway track dating to the first world war, you can find the map on the web, and from there take google map and see it!
Cool.
Philippe Gagnon where are you talking about? Doing an off road trip to canada.
It is just a short piece of old rail bed. Only a few KMs. If you are coming to ride off-road check out the TCAT. www.graveltravel.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2:trans-canad-adventure-trail&catid=1
hope i can ride it one day
They are a lot of fun. Very different experience from a 2 wheeler.
Nice video, should have packed your fishing tackle!
Buddy of mine actually has fished in Black lake. Didn't catch anything.
Damn that so fucking fun man!!!!!
Ive wanted a ural for many yrs but watching this convinced me not to get one.thus is really disappointed that some hub deep water kills them.
don't let my experience sour you on these machines. Plenty of other folks have had epic adventures on Urals.
Wake Up America I submerged the engine on mine and never had a problem you just got to keep the gas on and keep your momentum up
Robert Esposito Haha ! Not if the air intake is underwater ! 😂
Folks go deeper than this, but they snorkel the engines
What is like to ride a ural sidecar?
"It's like racing with a boat"😂
I like it!
What ArcelorMittal facility does Phillipe' work at? Dofasco?
Not sure.
the problem with the black lake is the speed , i know this bike can do more if you jump into the water and keep pushing ,it wont let the water quickly in. if you go slowly , you are dead, same as the sand climbing , philipp went slow on firt try and stucked.
Most bikes will do better with a wake.
