There was this really bad movie where Naomi Watts plays a midwife and gets into some shenanigans with the Russian Mob, only cool thing in the movie was she had an Ural.

They're real shit bikes, but they look fucking rad. I'd love to have one, but I'd never depend on it to get me home.
Hopefully they did a better job at making guitars.

They're poo, they really are. A guy named Shane in my scooter club has one. Looks awesome but it's been falling apart since day one.
If you want that style of bike, go for one of the new Royal Enfields. The new Engine is remarkably well done and it has all of the looks of a classic with the modern bennefits of fuel injection and gas shocks and such. And they're cheap as all fuck too.

I had few chances to play Ural guitars, and a bass one time I think. They are pile of shit. Heavy as fuck, never intonate properly, can't do good action on them, stay in tune really bad, sound like shit and look awful. Pretty much everything is bad about them.

However those bikes look cool, and believe it or not, up until USSR broke up they were all over the country, because it was hard to get anything else.

That's the thing it's just kind of a chick-flick running as something else. But let's look at the plot facts a baby gets saved, almost all the guys are evil, Vito's character is a cop so he's the whole tough guy with a good heart bullshit women love. I saw that plotline coming right away that he was a cop. Even the wise old russian uncle is a nut.
Not saying this movie is anti-man but it has all the hallmarks of chick flick. Terrible.
