BMW Other description

1983 BMW R Series RT, 1983 BMW R80 RT Pacific Blue with approximate mileage 100,000. The odometer stopped working but the speedometer works fine. The bike runs great and is extremely dependable. I have owned it since 2001 and have logged many miles on it commuting to work. It has never once left me stranded. The rear tire is new and the new matching front tire is ready to be mounted. They are a matched set of Kenda Challengers. This is the second set of Kenda's on this bike. They handle as well as Metzler's but they out last them by at least 50% and they have a higher load rating than the Metzler's. They also out lasted my Bridgestone's and my Dunlop's and my Shinko's. I also have a new dashboard and a new set of the old style "peanut" valve covers and a new spare clutch cable for it as well as one used spare saddlebag (left side) and the original BMW expandable tank bag and tank cover. The bike has an Odyssey PC925 battery, a lift up rear rack, a Corbin seat with a two position removable back rest and I have the original factory seat that is in very good shape. I think I may have a few new oil filter kits left too. I had progressive fork springs installed in 2002 and they still handle like new. The paint and pinstripes are original and well-worn but still decent. The front discs have always looked worn but they work well and do not grab. Phone 770-487-6723 (please no calls after 9PM) Cash only. I have a link with 17 photos I can send if interested. Thanks $2,400.00 7704876723

No Thru Road: Confessions of a Traveling Man

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Author of five books and thousands of articles, Clement Salvadori’s newest tome takes its reader on 30 varying trips around the world.

An excerpt from chapter one, Afghanistan 1973, reads: “While working at the American embassy in Rome I decided that after five years I did not want to continue my career as a diplomat.
