Red stars in the Blue Star Cafe
A local Ural riders group (whose name escapes me) has a social event every tuesday at the Blue Star Cafe in Wallingford. So of course, Chris and Mum went, as did we.
The factory participates also, and this week, all told, there were about a dozen people there, including Sergey Sinelnik, who is about halfway through a round the world trip on *his* Ural. He had some great pictures from the trip so far, which seemed to have covered Asia minor and northern africa down to Kenya.

Chris has used a lot of duct tape on his bike, which seemed to amuse the Russian contingent no end.
Frankly, I think he uses it because he has shares in the company or something.

Good food, decent prices, and great company, what more can you ask?
After a while, most of the folks moved outside, to talk about the bikes, and compare notes.
The Russian contingent, mostly anyway
Chris had discovered a small crack in the left side head, when he cleaned the bike earlier today, so tomorrow, he is heading over to the factory to get that taken care of. I hope he will take some photos of that. But we'll see.
