Oh my!  Too nice indeed.  Got to get me another R65 one of these days.  Maybe if some nice person ever buys my GS I'll have funds and space.  Don't hesitate to ask questions.  We aren't bashful about making suggestions.

[smiley=ROTFLMAO.gif] this is your idea of thinning the herd? Sell one. Buy one.

Sounds like a plan even I could get behind. [smiley=thumbup.gif]

Hi, Jay,

Jeez, what a pretty bike! Is there a custom paint shop on every street corner in the UK? I couldn't afford the paint jobs you folks seem to take for granted! If I were a Freud disciple, I'd be worried about "p[aint] envy"!  

i'll be askin loads of stoopid questions

Nope, it's my turn to ask you a dummarsch question: Is that a "stock" "S" fairing on your bike? I can't remember seeing a BMW airhead "S" screen with a deflecting lip on its trailing edge. That's precisely what I need for my 1981. (I'll post a separate request for info on that subject in the next day or two.)

Anyway, welcome to the forum. You're off to a great start; few things generate a conversation faster here than a photo of a sexy machine.

Cheers,
John
