BMW R-Series description

Up for sale is my 1970 BMW R60/5.  I've had this for a while now.  Always stored inside.  My plans have changed.  Mostly complete, biggest thing missing are the two rear turn signals.  This bike is not running but the engine does turn over nicely and transmission shifts smoothly.  There are some areas of damage, and I've included what I can see in the photos.  The one valve cover has a hole on top and the center stand where the lug broke off there is hole there as well.  Stand seems solid enough.  Some dings in the gas tank but I can't see any areas where it could have leaked.  Nice red coating inside.  Handlebars show some rust.  I can see no broken fins.  Tail lamp is early, front signals are early, every thing looks correct except the mufflers which themselves are in nice shape just not the correct cigar mufflers.  If I was going to keep this, I'd pull it apart to lube the splines at the very least.  Check the clutch.  Change all fluids.  The wiring will need some hook up but looks complete except the turn signal wiring.  Comes with extras as shown.  BMW drive shaft boot and front gators.  Also has most of the tool kit and tool tray.  This is a triple numbers match machine and a desirable year but will require some work to get it into top shape.  I should add not for the faint of heart but I know it won't deter some folks. I don't have a title for this but I do have a bill of sale from the previous owner that will be included.  These /5 models are getting harder to find and their price is going up if you're lucky enough to find one.  This one is a great start even if you just want to sit on it.  Nice investment.  Buyer is responsible for shipping but I will help out here on my end with loading and being available to load. $500 non refundable deposit via paypal, the rest wire transfer or CASH in hand on pick up.  Other arrangements upon agreement before auctions' end. Ask questions, I check my email daily.

I would not, could not, ride a BMW C1

Tue, 29 Jun 2010

As the chair of this session I will start. On my walk to work this morning I got beeped at by BMW's C1 scooter whilst crossing the road. This, my most detested mockery of two-wheeled transport, beeped at me for no reason whatsoever but what angered me more was the pitiful horn the BMW has, it was a roadrunner like ‘meep’.
