What Do You Name Your Ural?
Filed Under (Bikeography) by Anthony StClair on 18-05-2008
With about 1,000km on my Ural Patrol, it’s about time I got around to naming it. Or “her”. Whatever.
Naming the Ural — This has been on my mind a while. From “the Frog of War” to the “Chernobyl Chariot,” interesting Ural names abound. But what is the name of my Ural Patrol? What is the right name for my Ural Patrol?
For me, I believe the answer will be found in Russian literature. But not Dostoyevsky or Chekhov. I believe the inspiration for my Ural’s name will come from contemporary author Sergey Lukyanenko.
More to come.
What did you name your Ural? How did you come up with the name?
I’ve named my Ural “lilbean”. Here is how it came to be… My girl calls me denabean and we have 7 dogs, 2 cats, 3 birds and a guinea pig. We also board dogs. When the kids start to get nasty with one another we tell them “we don’t do that here at the bean farm”. With the Ural being a new member of the family (the bean farm) we came up with “lilbean”.
I’m going to put this on the side of the hack… lil bean Not sure if I want to use peel off letters or paint. Have you named your rig yet?
lilbean - I like it. Totally makes sense for you, too.
I still haven’t named mine yet, but I’ve got a good bead on a name. Don’t know that I’ll add it on there, per se, but you never know. Hadn’t thought much about the letters vs. paint - though the paint would probably be more durable?
