Post by: Lowen on March 02, 2007, 06:38:40 AM: Just got a 74 R90 with a side car to go with it! I'll post some before and after pics once I get it settled in my garage.

Hope you plan to document the restoration project with lots of photos so we can enjoy from a distance with you, Lowen!

Post by: Justin B. on March 14, 2007, 06:24:42 AM: Lowen, I remember how stressful it was with a young'un on the way so I think it my duty, as a fellow Texan, to help alleviate some of your distress. Don't sweat the /6, just give it to me and I'll put up with all of the grief involved with getting it running, riding it, etc... ;D

Post by: Justin B. on March 14, 2007, 08:54:32 PM: Hey, Bro, just tryin' to help! ;) As close as you are I guess I need to take a look at it some time... I think the only 59er I've met was Stu when I went over and looked at an R60 they were selling...

Don't know about that. Showing up once in the last year does not make one a club member.

Post by: SCJJR65 on March 19, 2007, 09:02:36 AM: Wow, looks like a cool club, Lowen! 8-)

I'll bet that "Rockers & Mods" get together was a hoot! Any pics to share?

I tellya... you and Scottyintex have hacks and I am JOANSIN for one now! Dagnabit! I don't think I could stand to hack the Blueberry, though, particularly since she's turning into an R65RS, nor do I want to hack the LWB R65 I just bought for parts. I'm thinkin' the KLR would be the one to hack. Pretty much like this one from a co near Seattle http://www.dauntlessmotors.com/ :

Based on a modern Ural frame, of course. OH man.... I bet even Ken would go for a spin on that chair! Yeeehaaaaa! And think of all the fahrwood and beer I could haul! Wooooo!
