Newbie Checking In
« on: September 16, 2007, 03:41:07 PM »
Just returned from picking up a 1979 R65. Its in great shape: 43k and everthing works except horn. Yes its painted yellow (volkswagon yellow) by previous owner. He owned it for 19 years. I am 3rd owner.

Anyway, found your group and signed up. Looking forward to a sharing info and getting advise on my R65.

Forgot to mention in original post - I'm located in Cadillac, Michigan (northwestern part of lower peninsula). Any other R65's out there in Michigan?

Don't mind Justin, he is much much too helpful to everyone here to be a "real" curmudgeon..

I realized it when I started doing all of my shopping on line so I didn't have to put up with people at the store and changed careers so I didn't have to deal with boneheads on the phone anymore...
