Ural fraud?

I live in California and bought a brand new Ural motorcycle from Ural of New England in Massachusetts. With the explicit understanding, it would be delivered completely drivable. With my only having to pay sales tax and registering the vehicle. I was told by three different representatives of the dealership on five separate conversations that this would be the case. All I'd have to do is pay taxes and register. It turns out they didn't correctly install the California emissions requirements. California refuses to allow this vehicle to be driven in the state and demands that I get it out of the state. Even though the correct emissions has been installed. It's been a year now. The factory appears to be complicit in this and in the meantime I've got a driveway paperweight and out over $30,000 plus. Any help or advice?

What’s your Ural origin story?

How did you get here? Ill start.

My first bike was a BMW R65LS and I was totally obsessed with it. I admired the simplicity of the opposed twin and paired with the historical aspect of a long running proven design… I was intrigued.

I ended up looking for a R100 but could never quite pull the trigger on one I liked. I ended up bumping up to a BMW K100RS and while it was amazing it just didn’t have the charm of the boxer. Eventually I started my family and the life on two wheels felt like an unnecessary risk. I sold off the K100RS and went without nothing for a good 5 years.

I had randomly seen a Ural pass by me at a stop light one day and a flood of memories came rushing in. I had seen these bikes in movies, I had seen them in Eastern Europe, I had seen them in WW2 reenactments and I caved for something I was always curious about.

I had eventually decided to order one new for a road trip out to Colorado with some friends. They had gone and convinced me to ride trails intended for lifted jeeps and land cruisers so while they outfitted vehicles for a place I didn’t live, I instead chose to pickup something i could still use back home. Needless to say my choice surprised them and I’ve been loving my purchase ever since.

Help identifying this Ural

New poster here, good day/night. Long story short, a friend of mine sells me this bike, I know its an M72, somewhere between 1941 and 1956 as far as I know. Is there any way to know the exact year? Is it worth restoring? Also any info of this model would be useful. Greetings from Spain ✌️🇪🇸

Where to get gear oil for a dnepr

So I have gotten the motorcycle from my previous post and it runs pretty well but I have no gear oil and I know I have to get 80-90 with a low GL grade but I can't seem to find anything that isn't GL-5 if anyone knows one on Amazon I could buy that would definitely be nice to because I live in the middle of no where with basically no ride now so if I could save on not needing to buy an Uber that would definitely be nice (mind you I live in the USA)
