BMW R-Series description
1970 BMW R60/5 with Cozy Rocket Sidecar.
This is a great example of a well maintained BMW R60 with only 33,166 miles. The cycle runs like a top and has had many recent new parts to make it ready to ride across town or across the country. Before the sidecar was added in 2016 the bike was completely gone through while there was still easy access. All cables were replaced. New Tires. Valves adjusted. Points adjusted. New spark plugs. Carburetors cleaned and synced. The sidecar was purchased new in 2015 and has less than 500 miles on it. I installed and aligned the sidecar myself, this is the fourth rig I have set up. The cycle and sidecar track down the road very well and can be ridden "hands off." The /5 series frames are not a good fit for "universal" mounts and I went the extra mile by purchasing a custom made subframe made specifically for this cycle. The subframe from DMC Sidecars distributes the stress from the extra weight of the sidecar to multiple points on the frame for a very secure and rigid mount. A subframe mounting system is the only way to properly attach a sidecar to a BMW /5 series motorcycle. This is a beautiful and well matched combination. The light weight sidecar is perfectly suited to the BMW R60. The rig is very comfortable at 55-60 MPH on the highway but will be out of its element at interstate speeds of over 70 MPH. It will travel at 70 but that is pushing it for this 46 year old cycle hauling the added weight of the sidecar. Be ready to answer questions wherever you go because this rig garners lots of attention. The sidecar is the perfect solution to ride your motorcycle every day to accomplish errands or just have fun. A grocery store run is no problem with room for multiple bags with room to spare. Start riding your cycle everywhere because all the storage challenges of a motorcycle are solved when you have a sidecar. There is a tonneau cover for the sidecar. The sidecar also has a rear package shelf and windshield that will be included. There is ample lockable storage behind the sidecar seat. The bike exhibits some small blemishes commensurate with a 46 year old cycle. Sidecar fender has small dent on bottom due to bumping a wall while maneuvering in garage. Both cycle and sidecar garage kept since I have owned them. Original mirror and turn signals will be included if you would like to return the cycle to stock.

The future. But we can't have it
Thu, 10 Nov 2011It's no secret that we motorcyclists are getting older. We're ageing because less people are passing their bike test each year (roughly 30,000 last year compared to 50,000 for the 10 years before the new two-part test) and so not only is the pool not growing it's not even being replenished and so the average age isn't being diluted down by yoof. When the going gets tough in any situation, you really get to see who's got their shit-sorted and who's light enough on their feet to adapt to change.
