Mihai and his wife and kid are going all over with their Ural, and stopped by the factory... and wow, were treated to a rebuild for free! (thanks Larry!)

and even met up with the Zapp family I posted about http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2017/02/a-17-year-long-road-trip.html

after 70k of road they stopped by the factory for a gasket... but were treated to a complete tear down and rebuild!

On his epic summer adventure Mihai and his family recently visited our factory in Irbit to see where his Ural was born.

Unknown to him we had arranged for his bike to get a full work through, giving it some love after over 70,000 kilometers on the road.

"I told them I only needed a gasket for my alternator and the small switch to turn on the rear brake lights. Then in 30 minutes my bike was completely apart and the guys started replacing all sorts of stuff on it.

I was there with my eyes wide and could not believe what is going on... I kept adding up the parts in my mind, counting everything they replaced, and started freaking out at what it would cost..."

"They saw my face and started smiling. Relax! It's on the house!

We stood there in disbelief, really, it's beyond my ability to put into words... it's the biggest surprise I've had since I bought the bike. I just want you to know that this means a lot to us, and we are deeply thankful for this. I still can't believe what happened. A thousand thank you's for that, and I still feel it's not enough."
