I've posted my motorcycle, where you can juuuuust make me out as a blurry set of pixels in the reflection on my helmet visor. I've also posted video of my dog where you can hear my voice/see my arm petting her.
I'm certain I'm far too uninteresting to attract a doxxer, but it's still something I'm a bit paranoid about at times. But anyway I'm a large coastal adult son.
That's a badass looking bike! Much cooler than like 90% of Harleys I've seen. If I was to ride, I'd look into an Indian brand bike. They look kinda like yours!
My dad's a Harley guy, keeps telling me to get one - but idk I really love the "standard" look and I'm not a fan of the bobtail or chopper or anything like that (though I did raise my bars which did wonders for my comfort on long rides).
Indians are cool, I would also look at Triumphs and Royal Enfields for the classic Euro/American bike look, but basically every brand has a "modern classic" line right now since that became trendy about ten years ago. I would avoid getting an actual classic until you're really experienced at maintenance, lmao.
Any issues with getting parts since the SMO began? I've wanted an ural for a while now (especially since I'm in a winter location and would keep riding in the winter but was sketchy on my normal bike) but that's something I've been curious about
A few issues for large parts, less so for small ones. There are a couple fasteners on my bike that were sold out on the Ural store but I found the exact same part on the Home Depot website, lmao. Now that they're producing in Kazakhstan I expect what issues exist (ie getting replacement exhausts and gearboxes) to smooth out by next year.
That plus the English-speaking Ural community's thirty years of slightly sketchy repair advice means I've never been frustrated for lack of parts.

Oh shit you ride? Nice!
I've been doing it about eight months now, I love it! I've got a Ural Solo

Part of me wants a indian or a triumph. I like the leatherbear connotations
