That Time I Bought a Ural

It was 31 years old and looked it, a heinous shade of blue with beefy tires and two dinky seats.  It was a 1983 Ural with a sidecar and I was in love. I’ve been planning this trip for over a year.  What started out as a motorcycle trip across China into Kyrgyzstan morphed into …

The Open Road Before Me: Motorcycle Trip from Tsetserleg to Tariat

As I’ve mentioned many times, my initial desire to visit Mongolia was kindled by a childhood friend of mine moving here for several years.  Several years ago, that desire was further fueled after I watched the awesome miniseries ‘Long Way Round‘ starring Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman.  The two actors, also close friends, embarked on …
