even though I AM older than my bike (1975 vs 1979), I have more memories of my dads many airheads, and am glad that he passed that love on to me. It is the memories of hanging on for dear life on the back of a R100S while dad gives it plenty of right hand... and talking about it for hours after the ride. And I can remember when he GAVE a R75 in perfect condition AWAY to a friend - for free (this was in '83 I think). Let me tell you - giving away an Airhead is like giving your hunting buddy a knife, or maybe even presenting your loved one with an engagement ring!! The friend was a BMW mechanic at the time (retired now) without his own BMW, and he is the only person who I trust with MY R65 - knowing that he will put all the love and care into his labour as if it was his own bike. Thanx dad for passing on the Airhead Tradition - and thank you Airhead for creating the tradition in the first place.
