HI Just pick up a 79 R65. Its mechanically sound but cosmic poor. PO
had some different paint ideas. Any way I'm in New York down below
Buffalo in the sticks. Any other western NY ers here.

tml82, welcome to the forum .
Looks like you reside in 'lake effect' country, shovel much snow in the winter ?
-
Most winters we get alot of snow. I drive a Plow for the county DPW
(don't yell at me for the salt I don't like any more than you) But this has been the warmest, least snow winter I can remember. Been plowing since
89. I also have a Ural Gear Up and been riding all winter. ;D

Teasing us, huh? ;)
Post up a photo when you get a chance, tml82. We all look forward to getting you involved with the other inmates here in the asylum.

Welcome aboard!
A Gear-Up! Cool! I am in the process of putting together a sidecar rig with an R100 as the tug. I was seriously looking at the 750cc Urals for awhile, but household income took a serious dive last year and I'm on a DIY path now.
It's been awhile since I was out your way - spent some time at Letchworth State Park - very pretty out there and riding around the Finger Lakes..

Welcome. I, too, have an R100 that doesn't get ridden much and I'm casually looking for an old Vetter Teraplane. I almost bought one in '79 but a certain "sidecar expert" told me that modern BMWs were not suitable as sidecar rigs and talked me out of it. Probably because I wasn't going to buy it from him...
