BMW R-Series description

This is my Baby for the last 25 years.....  "Old Reliable".  We've seen a lot of territory together. 

And as I am almost 67 yrs old it may be time ( we'll see ) to pass it along to the younger generation - and that, in comparison, should be a hella lot of you out there.

Always a California bike, I'm the 2nd owner.  Got it from Plam BMW in Santa Cruz  ( that name will ring bells with the older Airhead set in the Bay Area ). 

**STAINTUNE STAINLESS EXHAUST SYSTEM, BEAUTIFUL MUSIC**

The engine was rebuilt in 2011 by Dave Gardner / Recommend Service, San Francisco.  If you know Dave, you know it was done right.  He's retired now, but in the day he was Dr. Boxer.  It was the $6900 tune up.....

****IT NOW HAS 9040 MILES ON THE REBUILD****

Nikasil barrels, new cam, timing chain, pistons, heads rebuild by Kibblewhite of Pacifica CA ( another name that the cognisenti will know).  The whole enchilada.   The gearbox, BTW, was fine no issues.

****CHECK OU THE DRIVING LIGHTS - GIVE 'EM SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO LOOK AT, THAT'S MY STRATEGY****

It all works.  It's a beauty.  Strong.  Reliable (duh...).   If you're looking for Classic Airhead, well........

PLEASE NOTE:  
New front / back Metzler's with maybe 300 miles on 'em.  
And I just changed all the fluids, should be good for 6K mi or 12 months. 

Questions?.....  Give a shout, we can discuss.

OK, thanks for looking.

Fake motorcycle police. Why?

Tue, 17 Jan 2012

People who like to pretend they're police baffle me and annoy me in equal measure. I took this picture the other day at Cobham, about to join the A3 heading to Guildford. I guessed that the guy on the left had just bought his rather fetching BMW off the guy on the right.

New car firm shows interest in bikes too

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

NORMALLY we wouldn’t get terribly excited about an electric moped but this as-yet-unreleased design comes from a new firm that’s already making waves in the car industry. Qoros might not be a name you’re familiar with. The firm has yet to start selling cars in Europe, although that will change soon.
