Coronado Heights, Abandoned homes/buildings in Carnerio KS, and backroads of NE Ellsworth County.

The bike is turning out to be awesome.  VStream windshield is 6" taller than stock and I'm running it in the 3rd highest setting. (4 height options)  The speedo is within 1mph of the GPS.  Loving the cruise control and shaft drive.

I honked at 3 dual sport riders that were stopped at the K-156/I-70 junction about 3:30, but they had helmets on so I'm not sure they heard me.  Beautiful weather for a ride; about 50% of my time today was spent on gravel roads.

Nice place to ride to, I was just there yesterday, Coronado heights, Mushroom rock park, Faris caves. Coronado heights is one of my favorite places to watch the sun set on a summers night, cool place.

Of corse, most people that ride a Ural, have a smile, except for one that know.
