From Soviet Steeds - First (brief) trip onto the expressway

Wonder if you can take a Ural on a highway? Here’s one rider’s experience:

I drove my hack down to the shore to work on my wife’s uncle’s Virago for him. I took backroads, but decided to brave the freeway for about ten miles to get around a small city, and to satisfy my morbid curiosity about how this machine not meant for freeways would do. I was pleasantly surprised. I kept my speed around 60-65 mph, which was not a problem on I-395 (in Eastern CT) because it is lightly trafficked. The motor seemed quite capable and unstrained, the rig tracked straight and steady, all the usual vibrations were gone, and the mirrors were crystal clear! I don’t think I would want to ride it all day on the expressway, but it’s nice to know that it isn’t completely out of the question if necessary now and then.
