Snow Doesn’t Stop This Minnesota Ural Motorcycler

Filed Under (Ural News) by Anthony StClair on 20-01-2009

I might’ve missed a chance for snow motorcycling, but Minnesota’s Victor Wanchena certainly doesn’t. He rides every day, saying it’s not much different – or much crazier – than riding a snowmobile:

Perhaps you’ve seen him — or them. Victor Wanchena explains why he rides his salt-encrusted Ural on an arctic January day

Riding a Ural in snowy conditions has plenty of challenges – from salt eating your electrics so you have to kick-start, to black ice and cellphone yappers always a threat – but Wanchena’s still out there, day in and day out.

Thanks to Alan for sending this along!
