    GEICO Insurance ad ...

    Claims the company can insure your vehicle, but
    also your accordion.

    Old lady in car, Ural with accordion player in
    side-car pulls up. Smokin' play-off duel ensues.

    Had one once - "quality control" does not seem
    to exist in the Russian language. Still, not
    awful, and a lot of fun. Good luck getting parts
    for one these days. If I want another sidecar
    rig I'd probably go with a traditional Triumph
    setup instead.

    The bike shimmies madly when the sidecar is picked up in the right turn.
