It took longer than I expected, and I am sorry about that. The original link has some good pix and convo but I didn't get everything squared away until New Year's Day because I promised a buddy of mine from Cali I would not mount the MG until he arrived for his visit. With that aside, here is the good stuff: Coming back from a beer/ice run: We turned War Pig into a cooler because.... well... why not?
Major UDF at the gas station while we loaded the bike with beer and ice. I had to pardon myself through the crowd to load it up, folks had their cells out taking pictures and wanted to talk about the whole set-up. Although I certainly don't consider myself a Ural ambassador anywhere in the same universe as Mr. Cob it's nice to pass the Word regarding these bikes to folks who don't see them very often. The mud tells its own story regarding what these bikes can do and the machine gun is merely icing on the cake.
Time for an update. I gave that mount back to the owner when mine arrived from Oldtimer in Poland. They arrived with some flaky whitish coating: A buddy of mine media-blasted them nice and clean for me, though: Paint drying: GUN PORN: The "Oh Shit" handle is wrapped with pipe insulating foam, zip-tied and covered in ... you guessed it - OD duct tape I think I may look into an OD canvas cover for this, kinda like a crossbar pad cover for a BMX bike. I needed a solution in a hurry in order to get the bike on the road, so "WWID?" had to suffice A little velcro strap I had laying around keeps it from elevating/depressing while riding, and the pintle collar clamp is tightened down to keep it from traversing. Taking it down Interstate 10 to a BBQ cookoff for a buddy of mine who is on the "Grill Sergeants" team; he wanted to borrow War Pig to accentuate their military-themed booth: Yep, that's right - 62 mph. I could almost see light bending around me, and I think I may have warped into the future a little bit. Spyderwife said these cats were eyeballin' until I turned my head towards them, then they suddenly became very interested in the FedEx truck. They shouldn't be ashamed of their jealousy...
