I have been riding for 40+ years. I started with a triumph. Then went to riding Harley Davidsons. I still have my Harley. I have a German Shepherd name Ruger, he is with me all the time. When I got him my riding days came to almost an end because he wanted to be with me all the time. Well.....I thought for awhile, decided to get a bike with a side car so he could be with me. That's how I ended up with my Ural. Ruger enjoys riding just as much as I do. He jumps right in, wears his riding goggles his hat and his bandanna and were ready to ride! I'm happily married to my soul mate Peggy, she also rides. She has a sportster (But likes my Heritage more) so if you see us riding down the road be sure to honk because Ruger loves the attention! Ride on
