There's a Ural repair/distribution shop next door to a place I used to work,
in Preston, WA. Preston is a small town just east of Seattle/Bellevue, so if
he makes it out here, I'll send him their way. I'm sure that they would love
to see his bike, and perhaps do a few repairs on it as well. However, the
bikes that they were selling look quite a bit different than his
three-wheeler but they still had the "vintage" look to them, with side cars
and all.
