The same M-72 was taken as a basis, the chassis was almost identical.

Carburetor - two K-52.

Having successfully sold my first Ural motorcycle in 2009, I remained on foot. I still attended garage parties, but looking at my friends’ equipment I became increasingly depressed. It is impossible to describe when the world becomes gray and boring, every new breath of air no longer brings joy. I became seriously ill and even the beautiful half of humanity did not invigorate me with their existence. From time to time I began to help friends with equipment, because at that time my hands were best suited for boxers. I distilled, adjusted the ignition, adjusted carburetors and valves, and did not refuse anyone. Little by little, joys began to appear. Namely, they remembered the blooming candle frame, which has been moving from cellar to cellar for many years. After a while, a reserve power unit and gearbox were dug out of the stash. There were always plenty of wheels in the garage - Urals everyone loved it, they didn’t grieve about the wiring either. I exchanged the tank a little, although without the glove compartment lid, borrowed the front fork from a friend’s stash =) In the fall of 2009, an ugly (even terrible) duckling was settled in the garage with my own hands. Every day, when I came home from work, I surfed Rattbike sites and communities, looking for a good layout and style that would fit well with my scrap metal. I managed to ride my “hardware” a couple of times. For the first time I discovered the delights of a spark plug suspension, and although there were no brakes yet, only two working gears, 1st and 4th, did not allow me to accelerate very quickly, but anyone who has driven it knows that it’s possible. However, after some time, my views changed along with the rear wing-gate that appeared, identical wheels were immediately found, my head was full of ideas. Since the opportunity turned up, a sketch of the future bike was quickly re-planned in my head. The idea became to get as close as possible to the retro original. Somewhere I noticed a front fender with a wide hem and immediately took it out. The winter passed with little troubles, the gearbox was successfully replaced with a fresh one, the front fork was also freshened. The 2010 season was approaching, my head was exploding - I won’t make it in time, I won’t be able to, I don’t know how to paint... That’s it, friends and friends who will always help. 20 km from my city, there is another one, a great guy lives there, with hands and ideas from God, sometimes embodying the most unimaginable fantasies. It was he who was my salvation. Having collected my belongings and upcoming plans in the form of a pile of weighted iron from a motorcycle, I took a taxi to the savior’s lair. With serious instruction, I was taught to carefully rub down the ribs and roundness of the parts after putty. A couple of times I painted the parts with some kind of “indicator”. From work, my fingers went numb and swollen. For two days I was tormented by thoughts like: “I wanted a rattbike, well, what... I got carried away.” The mentor’s words constantly sounded in an orderly tone: “I won’t let you out of my workshop with jambs, handle it better, go through it more carefully... My hands they didn’t obey, in those places where I seemed to have worked the surface perfectly, my mentor somehow unimaginably found the smallest erases or imperfections. The result was worth it

Now I had to decide on the color. Initially I wanted khaki, but after hearing a lot about the qualities of mixtures of this color, I changed my mind. I was advised classic black. Well, let's start painting. After painting, all the parts went through a “bathhouse”. They gave the paintwork heat. At home I kept the parts under a white sheet while I worked on finishing the engine and brakes, which were not there until the last moment. I read BikePost with special love, I want you all to experience the same thing, or at least approximately. I have enough materials for the first time of the off-season, since the start of a new one is soon, I am in a hurry to upload everything that was in the archives. Well, now you can inspect the result of this painting and the first version of the style of the motorcycle, which I sweated the most in my life. How gorgeously the sky was reflected in the depths of the details... I felt the wildest delight from the work done. The motorcycle was like this for half a season. Somehow, by chance, my hands happened to disassemble for parts m72, from which I was lucky enough to keep the trophy steering wheel. By this time I had already replaced the wheels with completely new ones, with fresh tires, on which all the antennae remained intact, installed an oblique step, which they made for me from the rear axle of 8.103.10. On this bike I I received my category “A” license, and successfully ended the season with a 350-kilometer raid in neighboring cities and friends, and there were also walks in the forest. This is how the motorcycle remained in my memory. Unfortunately, it is no longer there, it was dismantled into parts in all directions. The frame is in the possession of a military reconstruction club, the steering wheel is also there, the engine is in reserve in the garage, the wheels ride on another Urals. But the soul of this motorcycle lives in me, no matter how snotty it may sound. Throughout its history, I realized that the Newtonian system of degeneration of forces does not work correctly, at least in my understanding of the world.

"Ural" M-67-36

Produced from 1976 to 1984. It differed from its predecessors in increased engine power. Four-speed gearbox with foot shift. Five people can ride on a motorcycle at the same time; it was often used for transporting goods. It was distinguished by increased maneuverability and reliability.
