Today was another GLORIOUS day in Boston, and the Ural is grounded because we’re up against our 500km service, but we decided to put on just a few more clicks, and give the dogs another opportunity to acclimatize to the Ural.

Being ATGATT people ourselves, there was no way we could let the dogs ride unrestrained in a moving motorcycle. I know from my old days working with a personal injury attorney what can happen when an unrestrained dog turns into a projectile in an accident. Doing it in an open-air vehicle seems like even more of a recipe for disaster.

The Ural needed breaking in. Twisted Throttle had a bag I wanted for the Ural’s rear luggage rack. A plan was hatched.
