Martyn Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Looking to have some serious fun i like the colour-it's very subdued......ha,ha,ha, only joking- even a blind man could see you in that rig! and at least the snow plows will avoid you in the snow. seriously though,it's a great rig-i have an 04 model. over in the uk it's called the'dalesman'. i enjoy every minute of mine-including servicing it myself. ride safe and free. martyn,aberdare.

Springer Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Be prepared to double your "UDF" ...i had a sportster in that colour and no matter where i parked it or how many bikes were around it everyone was drawn to that orange....my son was 7 at the time and named it "The Sun Devil" because the way it looked on a bright summer day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJames Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Guess you won't be doing any recon on that one! I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken (The) Wild (One) Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand ? (Got 'er yesterday, right? So - que paso ?) I appreciate riding my Ural for one reason most people don't mention: CONSPICUITY !THIS is something you'll never have a problem with. Mine's black, so I can imagine someone running me over and explaining to the cop "But officer - I didn't see him ! " You'll never have that problem - Ken (The) Wild (One) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scapaflo Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 WOW!!!! Guess you won't need to wear the neon jacket for the cages out there. Gotta love the color. Congradulations and many happy miles to you. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3X2 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Sorry for the delay. I wasn't able to pick it up until Yesterday (2/27). As luck would have it, our hot water heater sprung a leak, had to replace that so no joy with the Patrol.Perhaps this evening....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co_g30 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 great looking rig, and I'm not saying that only because I own the same one! I picked mine up on March 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzidude Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I really like that color. It's very European and classic looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3X2 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 great looking rig, and I'm not saying that only because I own the same one! I picked mine up on March 3rd. Cool! Looks like it is in it's intended element. I see you have a Strom with sidecar. I thought about putting a hack on the 2004 Burgman, but it was cheap and easy to just buy the new Ural. How does the Strom rig compare to the Ural? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co_g30 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Cool! Looks like it is in it's intended element. I see you have a Strom with sidecar. I thought about putting a hack on the 2004 Burgman, but it was cheap and easy to just buy the new Ural. How does the Strom rig compare to the Ural? Well, the DL1000's 98 HP make quick work of riding up the steep hills that sometimes trouble our Urals, highway speeds are not a big deal though at around 85MPH the air pressure on the hack causes some yaw effect. I've always been a shaft drive motorcycle guy, so the V-Strom's chain proved quite the learning experience for me, and it's maintenance needs are a bit demanding at times. Still, it's a great rig, but it'll be weeks before the replacement parts get here from Enumclaw, WA where DMC makes it. It was side-swiped by an idiot cager and the sidecar's robustness saved me from injury. More details on riding a V-Strom Rig on my personal blog, see my sig if you're bored and or curious.
