Today, we went to the annual Safari Club Expo at the OP Convention Center.  We went specifically to look for and talk to outfitters about taking a safari to Africa next year.  But something shiny caught Ray's eye.  There, with the other 4-wheelers and hunting jeeps, was a bike and sidecar.  This is a Ural which he explained was a Russian motorcycle that is copied from a 1939 BMW motorcycle and was introduced to the Red Army in 1942.  This is a 2012 bike, and was used commonly in WWII.  Oh yeah, we found a couple of safari's that looked like what Ray was looking for.
