Hi there!
And yes, I commuted yesterday (and Sunday -- had some hours to make up) with the Ural. Fun, fun, fun.
Not so hard to get from Seattle to Bellevue.
I like our neighborhood a lot -- it even has a nice shopping center. Good restaurants, especially.

Right on!!!! Glad you made it out and gladder still to hear you decided on the west side of the lake. White Center is cool and you can get some great Mexican food over that way. There's a serious greasy spoon diner over there too if you want old-school breakfast served by old-school chunky ladies.

So where abouts in W. Seattle are you? It sounds like we're pretty close to being neighbors. Hell, if you go up Fauntleroy, you go past my house!
Welcome to the neighborhood!

Not so hard to get from W. Seattle to Bellevue, actually. 1st Ave -> I90 -> I405 -> 520 -> done. 40min, max. Ride home is usually a little slower, though.
I405 south of exit 10 (most of Bellevue) is nuts, though. Totally useless during rush hour.
I like our neighborhood a lot -- close to Lincoln Park, the Vashon/Southworth ferry, White Center (my kind of seedy, we like it) and even a nice shopping center Westlake. Good restaurants, especially.
Hey, I saw a guy on a Ural heading through the Battery Street tunnel last night at just about 5pm. With a hack. In the snow. It was fan-freaking-tastic.
But it wasn't you unless you were lost!

I live next to Camp Long and the public golf course. Sounds like we need to have an STN Meet in West Seattle! There's a nice little brewery on California in the Junction....

Mcoyote! I'm glad you made it up here. I've been wondering how things went as I haven't seen you on other sites after ST.n crashed. Welcome to the PNW!

Hey, I might venture out and take a break from saving the world for that!

Welcome to the Northwest.
It could have been. The ride home was tricky -- couldn't do my normal route because the 4th street ramp off of I90 was backed up for a mile and I was either going to freeze or run out of gas in that time. I cut south on I5 and twitched through some surface roads to get back to 1st ave.
Big yellow aerostitch suit? That was me.
ED: Naw, don't think so. Doesn't look like I was up there -- went north from the 6th ave i5 exit about two blocks, then west to 1st ave. That means that there's another moron out there with the same ride

Hmmm... Now I really gotta convince the rest of my family that a Ural sidecar rig is a far better idea than keeping a second car for bad weather. Two of them means there is a plurality, and that means it is a good idea.

Sounds like a great idea. Will we have to wait for the spring thaw?

I've been wanting to get a Ural for a few years now. But I'm running out of room in the garage. If I got a Ural I'd have to get a dog. I don't think I can convince my cats to ride in the sidecar, ears flapping in the wind.

My dad grew up in West Seattle. My Gramma had a dress shop there. I wish I was there right now.
It's 18 degrees out.

I don't think it's much warmer here. It was 28 at 2:30 and the sun was full-out. It's pretty much down now. Brrrrrrrrr!

Heh. There were four of them (the '05 Patrols, specifically) in Colorado Springs, including mine, and that was a city of 600k people.
But then you consider that WA has a 3-wheeler endorsement that I almost certainly am going to have to test for in order to get my WA license...
