Mark Tetreau built a customized Ural and sidecar from used, forgotten, and scrap parts he had lying around. Its name is U1. “U” is born from his love of Ural motorcycles and “1” means the first-ever Ural of its kind. Kalaber Creations not only sells Urals but also a line of custom-made off-road accessories for them—perfect for showcasing on this one-of-a-kind build.
The U1 Ural took approximately three years of weekends to build. Now complete, it makes appearances at events like Overland Expo West, but it’s happiest carrying Mark and his wife Jill around Prescott and neighboring areas.
Married for 44 years, Mark built U1 to pay tribute to Jill. It’s a way they can spend time together. U1 is made from a variety of Jeep, motorcycle, and various adventure rig parts. It’s a conglomeration of mastery, skill, and dedication to his craft. Since Mark’s specialty is customizing everything with an engine, he started accumulating many shelves of parts, pieces, and oddities. Mark is a saver; he might need said pieces, so he kept them all in anticipation of giving them a second life as part of a future build.
