I have been "Mr. Cob" since around 1990 on the Internet and long before that in real life.

Howdy jig0ku,

I have a "helmet cam" mounted on a tripod that is attached to the luggage rack on the back of the sidecar. The helmet cam sends the picture to a Sony camcorder that is mounted in a padded case inside the sidecar. The camcorder is the type that can be remote controlled, I can turn it on-off, start and stop the camera from a button mounted on the handlebars. I think this gives a good idea of what it's like to drive a hack filming from this setup.

Where are you mounting your camera? I just got a gear up and want to take some sweet videos like this.

you're not afraid of revving it up!

I like these bikes.

engine mod's to keep em running are a nessecity and fun, but the drum brakes...

i hope you found good breaking material!

HI, I was just wondering what specificaly have you done to your ural? It seems to be a pist-off machine! ...I love your vids, so please keep posting new ones.

Howdy Drumingemini,

My Ural is a work in progress, I am always experimenting with modifications that will improve it performance and off road ability. I have built my own air intake and exhaust systems, worked hard on carb jetting and cylinder heads to get it to run like it now does. I have modified the clutch disks so that they don't warp and lock when they get hot when being slipped while working through the rough stuff, these are just a few of the things I have done.
