President Donald Trump welcomed his European counterpart to North America on Friday (August 15), hoping that his reputation as a dealmaker would allow him to single-handedly terminate Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, that did not happen, as the meeting ended without a peace agreement between the nations.<\/p>\n

A Russian TV crew questioned the retiree, a fire inspector for the Municipality of Anchorage, as he was performing errands on his motorcycle a week before the summit.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He informed them it was a Ural motorcycle, which was founded in western Siberia in 1941, and that he bought it from a neighbor, before explaining that he was having trouble finding parts for it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt went viral, it went crazy, and I have no idea why, because I\u2019m really just a super-duper normal guy,\u201d Warren said yesterday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey just interviewed some old guy on a Ural, and for some reason they think it\u2019s cool.\u201d<\/p>\n
Two days before Putin\u2019s meeting with Trump, which fans joked was advertised as a boxing match by the White House administration, he was notified that the Russian government had decided to gift him a Ural Gear Up motorcycle with a sidecar.<\/p>\n
He initially felt it was a fraud, but after Putin\u2019s summit ended and he left Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, he received another call notifying him that the bike was still at the base.<\/p>\n
\u201cI dropped my jaw,\u201d he said. \u201cI went, \u2019You\u2019ve got to be joking me\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
When signing the paperwork for it, taking ownership of it from the Russian Embassy in the US, he spotted that it was manufactured on Tuesday last week.<\/p>\n

Ural assembles its bikes in Petropavlovsk, Kazakhstan, and distributes them through a team based in Woodinville, Washington.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe obvious thing here is that it rolled off the showroom floor and slid into a jet within probably 24 hours,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
