Post by: tvrla on February 03, 2012, 10:56:40 PM: You've got a bunch of black bikes! One of the best colors for beemers!

I wasn't ever into white bikes, but somehow wound up with two - and each when I got them, figured on a repaint. Now, years later they're still white. :)

I've pretty much been riding the LS even though the garage is full of other beemers. Lately the only others I ride are the R80G/S and the 77R100RS. Mostly it's the LS though.

Post by: montmil on February 04, 2012, 06:47:44 PM: This is the baddest in my foursome. The scoot is a SunL with all the identity trim stripped off and an old BMW roundel stuck on the front. Note the trunk. Makes it look like a Harley, don'cha think.

Grandson rocks it.

Cable service guy said, "I didn't know BMW made scooters." That was then. BMW does make scooters... now.

Post by: Motu on February 06, 2012, 12:51:55 AM: The reason I got the R65 Mono was to get down to one road bike, so it had to cover many tasks for me...and it does. I can no longer afford to keep several road bikes to pick and choose from, I change my R65 to suit my needs at the time.

My other bike is a 1987 Honda TLR200 that I sometimes use in Twinshock Trials, I've had it for over 10 years now. Otherwise, a shed full of projects.

Post by: Ed Miller on February 13, 2012, 01:13:44 PM: Thanks. It feels like a fast bicycle after riding the R65 all winter. I have it apart now for another paint job, as the one you see was marred by gas expanding in the tank and running all over it. I was unhappy.

Post by: luxlogs on February 17, 2012, 06:23:24 PM: 92 R100GS and for just toooo much fun a Yamaha TW200. Makes me feel like I'm 14 again.
