Title: Farewel!
Post by: RSMike on April 06, 2014, 05:44:09 PM

After 3 years of happy working and riding my R65, I made the difficult decision to sell her this week. Thanks to all on the forum for the invaluable help friendship and advice. Time for a new project!
One door closes:

And another opens:

I dunno, I can tell you from experience that after wrenching on a late-model Oilhead for a while you will develop very find memories of your Airhead!  I often wish I had kept my '95 R100RT and not gotten the R1150 RTP.  But, a couple of miles on the freeway causes me to cut it some slack!

Have fun and you can still stick around as discussion is not R65 only...

On a Galway plate I see Mike,

All the best with your oilhead, hopefully the 65 has gone to a good home, is the bike staying in Ireland or making the journey across the water?

Thanks Chris, staying in Ireland and happily gone to a collector (has 14 vintage and classics) in the East of the country.
She is of course originally a UK bike. BMW motorcycles were not officially imported here until the late 90's I believe, so most earlier bikes are UK imports.

Glad to hear that you've found the ol girl a new home!   You are still welcome to stick around and enjoy our community and tell your oilhead stories, of course!
