I havent updated the site in a while because, since I'm in northern AR and soon to be in SE Missouri, most of my time is visiting with family and friends. Not much of a "ride" to report on, but in a few days I'll get back to rides longer than an hour or so and get back to making the report. I could post all about my family, photos, and the like, but I choose not to.
In response to the rig and maintenance, so far I have been lucky enough to get Freya to a Ural shop in time for recommended maintenance schedules. The 7500km I did myself because theres nothing really to do other than change fluids. I'll probably end up doing the 10000km service myself, which is pretty major. She's a simple machine though, so nothing is really difficult (except maybe for the first time, meh).
I have changed carb jetting several times, and its really straightforward and easy after you do it once (like most things). Other than that, its all about just listening to the machine for any changes, doing the "pre-flight" check nearly every time, and every once in awhile giving her a really good inspection (seals, etc). Its a really great machine though in the first place, despite what some haters whose only experience is older Urals would say. Haters gonna hate though, lol.
