I met the guys who placed 1st and 4th too. <br /><br /><b>Rania:</b> It was a good time. Thanks! It was mostly thanks to wikipedia and the awesome people that fill it with useful knowledge. If you wanna try one out, you know where to come visit. ;)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-43160063030510060802011-09-14T13:09:25.225-05:002011-09-14T13:09:25.225-05:00What an awesome event!

But sometimes you just want to goto the store to quickly get something and don't want to play twenty questions. <br /><br /><b>RichardM:</b> I doubt you'd have trouble. You're pretty clever. :) Nope, the Ural just gets terrible mileage. I think it's a 4.7 gallon. I usually get ~ 30mpg. The shirt is one of my faves. <br /><br />I didn't use the GPS track. I plotted out my route ahead of time using the GPS coordinates from wikipedia. put them into a get directions page on google maps then added in the extra stuff. it's 90% accurate of the route. <br /><br /><b>Dom:</b> thanks. it was a fun day. I wouldn't say it's running "well" it has a weird wobble and the valves need to be adjusted... but for a ural it's good I guess. haha. <br /><br />Now that you have a different sidecar rig, do you still get UDF or SDF (sidecar-df)?? I would imagine less people bug you than did on the ural.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-79687259583819692542011-09-11T08:07:26.369-05:002011-09-11T08:07:26.369-05:00Good job with the points!
