Video history of BMW motorcycles
« on: July 31, 2008, 02:45:04 PM »
OK, I need to get a life somewhere OFF this freaking compuKer... maybe an intervention. Better yet, plan a Beemer ride. Yeah, that's the ticket! But wait...

I tracked down the guy who created the I've Been Everywhere in Texas music video. He rides a 2001 1150GS with personalized tags GS PILOT. I may be able to share his name and location when he says it's ok to do so.

Here's something else for all BMW motorcycle fans... A multi-part video history of the BMW motorcycle, produced by BMW. I watched a couple chapters on YouTube and they are excellent.

If you're interested, go to http://youtube.com and at the top of the home page, punch in "bmw motorcycle" and hit search. There you are! There are several chapters in the list mixed in with BMWs at Bonneville, racing, how-tos... but the best is the history of our current favored motorcycle. There's even a chapter with footage of the factory producing R65 engines! Too cool.

Too cool, Monte.  You actually found the guy!   8-)

I'll have to look up those YouTube videos.  But I'd like to get off this 'puter for awhile too.    :o   It will have to wait.
