Back in 2009 when Basem replied to the email and agreed to fly to Seattle to ride Ural T, he had a hugely popular column on about.com, a published book endorsed by Jay Leno and we had one demo bike in Seattle, zero marketing budget, and super vague chances to survive the Great Recession.
We had the one thing that we could offer a journalist though: bring your wife along and ride together. That’s how we met Basem’s beautiful wife Anna, and other lovely couples over the years.
Basem and Anna are on the Ural again, bringing back memories of past adventures but this time also sharing them with their 12 year old son.
If that’s not what makes it all worth it, we don’t know what does.
“The only thing better than riding with your wife is having your 12-year-old kid in tow. A sidecar is an amazing way for 3 people to get around and hang out, right up there with rolling 3 abreast in a Series 2A. Such good times with such a simple machine.”
