Waiting for my Ural to Arrive: Could this weekend be it?

Filed Under (Bikeography) by Anthony StClair on 08-02-2008

How do you survive the waiting?

No updates yet from Jim at Raceway, but I’m holding out hope that today (Friday) will see a phone call and an agreement for delivery this weekend. The garage is ready, and so are we.

The other day my neighbor asked if I was getting impatient. Not really. Do I want my Ural Patrol here? Oh, you betcha. But after a year of research and a couple of months of waiting, there’s really nothing for me to do but wait. All is out of my hands for now.

Keeping out of trouble for just a little while longer

But in the meantime, I will try to keep my mind off the rig — it is starting to get to me a little, that it’s not here yet. I’m looking forward to that first ride, heck, even just up and down my street. So for now, I’ll keep myself busy:

  • Snag a few motorcycle books
  • Work on some posts, particularly one about Jodie’s motorcycle jacket and gloves
  • Buy a helmet and a Battery Tender (post to come on this too)

That ought to keep me out of trouble. For now.

But man I can’t wait for my Ural to get here.

  1. Anthony…did it show up yet? I’m in Chicago and just went to the Chicago motorcycle show. Saw a bunch of Urals there, got some pictures, and the wife finally got to sit in one for the first time! We are all VERY excited!!!

    Hope yours is showing up soon…

  2. Not yet - but I did here from Jim that he’s been waiting for some good weather to road-test my rig. Checking in with him to see if I’ll be getting it next weekend.

    Can’t wait to see the pics of the Chicago show, that’s awesome! Glad your wife it stoked too.
