My Old BMW R60/2

I owned this bike while I lived in Albuquerque.  I bought it cheap and I am not sure why I was in such a hurry to get rid of it.  It was an R60 and rode real nice.  I bought an R 50 after I moved to Baton Rouge and I sold it on also.

I forgot about this bike, it was an R60 and was a bit on the rough side.  I think I buy bikes at times just to save them .  I had a pretty nice R50 but can't find the pics.  Maybe later.

Airheads Tech Day Part 2

I really liked this cafe racer style Beemer.  It looks cool and as I understand it, it is pretty fast. 

behind The Eight Ball

the top picture is an Indian bobber that is owned by David Edwards of Cycle World.  It was built by John Bivens back when Jerry Greer owned the shop.  It is a really cool bike that has been an inspiration over the years.  Yes, I will own another Indian.  They are like a bad habit that you can't kick.

The Chief pictured above was built by John Donavon in Vallejo, CA.  I met him shortly before he passed away and he was a very cool guy.  You can see the similarities between the two bikes.  Not sure which one came first.  This is probably my all time favorite bike !

Stoners' BMW Tech Day

I came across an add on Craigslist where a guy named Stoner was doing a BMW tech day and meet.  It was about 25 minutes away so I drove over there expecting it to be at a business location.  Not so !  It was at his home.

When I drove up there were airheads (BMW motorcycles) parked all the way down the block.  I walked up and asked for Stoner and he turned out to be an older man and was quite gracious.  It turns out that it was a tech day that the Air Head BMW club does on a pretty regular basis.   I was really impressed with their hospitality and just the camaraderie of the group.  They weren't just riding their bikes, they were working on them. 

Their club moto is...Airheads...Simple By Choice.   I agree as I have had a few BMW's.  They are really easy to work on and they stay fixed long enough to enjoy them.. This was kind of a revelation for a guy who is deeply into British and American bikes. 

There were some very cool bikes including the red and white cafe bike I show pictures of.  I have more pictures if I can figure out how to get them from my phone  ( maybe I should join them as I gues I like things simple by choice, don't get me started ). 

I was very impressed with a rather rough looking R100 owned by a guy named Jack.  It had all the charisma you could ask for in a daily rider.  It almost makes me want to get another Airhead.

WR Frame Going To The Land Down Under

The Harley davidson WR racing frame sold to a gentleman in Australia.  As I understand it, he plans on using it in anger against the Indians in his area.  Glad to see it go to someone who will use it.  Best of luck Ross !

Cool Knucklehead Out Of Japan

The Fun Factor !

Either pure joy or pure terror, I guess motorcycles give a bit of each.
