    This makes no sense. They randomly met him on the street but already had a new motorcycle that just happened to be the same kind as his old one?

      The unexpected gift by the Russian leader came after reporters with Russian state television Channel 1 met Warren by chance on the streets of Anchorage ahead of the summit.

      It could’ve been more than a week after he got polled by a reporter (if he really got found this way), so it lets russian side order one and transport it. Him having Ural is likely a marker to question him in the first place. What makes less sense is the gift itself, it’s really out of blue and you can’t interpret it as anything but a random move by his PR team.

      If gossips are right and Vlad himself watches his own TV tho… I imagine some clerks in the mission hunting local listings for a new Ural with one day delivery.
