Ural holds record in Bonneville

Since 1914, there has been no Russian motorcycle in the history of racing in the salt fields of Utah. The Fine Custom Mechanics team changed history by making a name for themselves at Speed Week in the USA. On a two-mile distance, the Bonny, a custom-made bike with an Ural engine, managed to accelerate the bike to 97 mph.

The Institute of Adventure Research

There's something incredibly British about The Ice Run adventure. It was an idea dreamt up by Tom Morgan, Founder-in-Chief of - get this - The Institute of Adventure Research, the 'research arm' of a group called The Adventurists. Brilliant!

Cool Cycles Ice Cream

John Gibson had a vision 15 years ago to sell ice cream from a motorcycle sidecar, inspired while running as he listening to motivational guru, Tony Robins. After years of experimenting with different bikes and setups, including using the Russian made Ural (he once owned a Ural dealership), Gibson, finally settled on the Honda 750 Shadow and the Harley-Davidson 883 Sportster. The Cool Cycles Ice Cream Company is open for business, the headquarters are located in Tacoma, WA where they will start selling franchises within a 100 mile radius, the Los Angeles area will be next and Las Vegas to follow.
