Wellington, Dec 4 (ANI)
A Siberian company has built a limited edition icebreaker-inspired motorcycle that comes equipped with an oar.
IMZ-Ural's limited edition Yamal is spec'd with its own double hull - of sorts - much like the boat: 3M coating is used to weather proof the lower portion of the sidecar body and the fenders for additional protection, Stuff.co.nz reported.

If you are reading this then you have wandered out too far, and the ice didn't hold - we're very sorry. In an effort to make it back alive, you may want to follow these survival tips:

- Rescue your dog - they're better at finding their way home than you are

Then in the fine print below that is the disclaimer, which reads:
-Ural cannot be held responsible for global warming
-Water damage not covered under warranty
-This vehicle is not a boat, nor is the paddle or any part of the motorcycle intended to be used as a flotation device.
-Survival may depend on other factors. Your wife was right, who goes fishing in winter?
