Vintage Motorcycle Days is a massive event put on by the American Motorcyclist Association, drawing well over 20,000 motorcycle enthusiasts to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. The Wilkinson brothers of Good Spark Garage tell us how they use their Urals as the ideal moto-event transportation.

"Most people get around on mini-bikes or golf carts. We use our Urals."
The Mid-Ohio grounds cover a lot of area and there are things happening all over. "We can tote our kids and haul our swap-meet finds and camera equipment with ease. Of course, the look of these air-cooled rigs fit right into the scene and turn a lot of heads," says Corey Wilkinson.
With all of the racks and storage, the Ural is like a 750cc shopping cart.
Above: We ran into Greg and Kristin on their Ural Ambassador Gear Up. They've been attending VMD for a long time and know to come prepared for staying cool and hydrated.
