Title: Another new member
Post by: Will on December 03, 2015, 03:32:28 AM

Hello from England,
This is my first post on this forum.
I recently found another R65LS after a search of three years. I last had one in 2001 and regretted selling it.
I've had a few BMW's over the last 25 years and currently own 4.
The LS will be the machine of choice when I find the F800 is too much of a struggle to manoevre. The seat is away being recovered in a less slippery material and my winter project will be designing and making an easily detachable rack to carry a top box and/or camping gear occasionally. Picture to follow when I can shrink it down from 6MB.

Hi Montmil,
Thank you for the welcome. Here's a picture of the latest machine, an R65LS referred to in my first post.

Sorry, Will, but your pic didn't post. Are you using one of the web-based, free photo storage sites such as Photobucket?

Ooops, where did my photo go?

Just found it again and reduced the size for posting.
Thanks for the heads-up.

Very sharp LS. The racks are there. Do you have. Side cases too?

Hi,
A Happy New Year.
Sorry for the delay in my reply, I lost access to my computers for a while.
Yes I have the panniers which were with the bike when I bought it. I haven't been able to use the bike due to the exceptionally wet weather and severe flooding locally but hopefully things will improve soon.
