If it was in one of the bike mags a few months back, I probably read it. That author (a motorcycle and aviation enthusiast) and his wife took a Mfg. demo on a road trip following the same route Charles Lindbergh once took on his bike. I seem to remember the opinion that Ural has greatly improved, but since I wasn't considering a Ural at the time, I don't remember enough of the details. Anyway, that issue's long gone.
Once read, all my mags (except The Horse) are distributed at work just to remind my co-workers that there's something to ride other than a Harley or VTX.
