AMA Raffle Bike – Ural Sidecar Motorcycle
Each year, the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame raffles off motorcycles during a year-long campaign to raise money for the charity. All proceeds from the raffle go to support the 501(c)(3). This 2017 Ural Gear-Up “Adventure Together” Edition is the AMA raffle bike to win this year and we had the privilege of working on the project.
This two-wheel drive sidecar from Ural Motorcycles is a special edition, outfitted by us (the Wilkinson Brothers of Good Spark Garage). It was carefully set up and dialed in by one of the nation’s top Ural sales & service dealerships, Heindl Engineering of Eaton, OH. Like us, the Heindls are longtime members of the American Motorcyclist Association.
Inspired by the theme of “Adventure Together,” this Ural sidecar motorcycle is meant for exploration with friends or family (or a pet!) who seek adventure in all types of terrain. Whether discovering nearby backroads or taking the long way to a National Park, the winner will be creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Interested? Receive one ticket for a $5 donation or five tickets for a $20 donation. Keep in mind, you must be 18 years or older and a resident of the United States to win.

Great job outfitting the rig! I’m definitely buying some tickets, I borrowed a buddies Patrol for this years Indy Mad Max Run and it gave me Ural fever! My daughters loved riding in it too!
Thanks Red! Yep, once you get the Ural fever, it’s hard to shake. Good luck!

Bought 11 tickets so far, and will likely buy more. Great organization to support, and I’ve always wanted a Ural, but haven’t been able to cost justify one to the wife. Kinda like the sponsors on the bike and the logo on the hack, but wondering if they’re just decals, or if they’ve been clear-coated.
Hi, David.
We’re tracking with you. All of the graphics are vinyl decals and applied on top of the factory paint finish. The winner can simply peel them off with the assistance of a hairdryer. If any adhesive is left behind, you can remove it with “Surface-safe” Goo-Gone. Good luck in the raffle!

Didn’t this drawing happen last year or is there still a chance I could win this sweet rig?
Drawing happens on December 7, 2018.
I’m assuming I didn’t win since I never got a call or email. Did they announce the winner?
Yep! The lucky winner was announced December 7th, 2018…
