My UDF Solution - Soviet Steeds

Filed Under (Ural Parts and Accessories) by Anthony StClair on 25-09-2008

The blessing and curse of the Ural Delay Factor

UDF, or Ural Delay Factor, is the name Ural owners have given the blessing and curse of owning a Ural in a world where sidecar motorcycles are in short supply. UDF is simple. Think of it like this: If you are so much as riding to the store to grab some milk, UDF is the 20 minutes extra your trip will take, because someone has questions about your sidecar rig. Often this is quite fun — but sometimes you just want to grab your milk and go home.

As one Soviet Steeds poster notes, there are ways to deal with UDF, and he has come up with a very creative solution:

UDF can be fun, interesting, or sometimes downright intrusive. Often, we just want to get on with our ride or walk away and get on with our day. After many sessions, I came up with this partial solution. It’s not original. Sometime back, JohnBG posted a link to a label/sign maker program. I have lost the link…

It’s not old
It’s made in Russia
It has 2-wheel drive
Chicks dig it
No rides given
Hands off please
