Ice cream and Russian Ural motorcycle

BB and I went out for ice cream on this rather hot Sunday.  With temps in the 90's it's a bit over hot for a bike ride to Erickson's, one of the best ice cream shops near us.  Anyway we drove over for a fix.

How hot was it?  The ice cream was soft so Erickson's was giving a cup with each cone!

While there a couple drove up on an interesting motorcycle with a sidecar.

It looked like a WW2 German military motorcycle, the sort seen in period movies.  Intrigued, I went over to have a look.  The owner explained that it was, in fact, a brand new Ural motorcycle.  He went on to say that when the Russian military overran the German BMW factory during the end of WW2 they took the engineering drawings and samples of this classic back to Russia where they began to manufacture them.  Ural motorcycles of Russia  continues to make them today and the largest dealer in the world is in Boxborough, Ma near us.

Adventures are clearly where you find them.
