Well, I have really no excuse. Dee Gee's stories are unreal! I'd be a basket case. The three bikes I have are all OK. I have been riding the Suzuki DR650 and the Suzuki DR200 exclusively. LRB the R65LS will get a big go next season, I promise! After his flawless trip out to Oregon in '13 I gave him a big rest which has really not been to his liking I am sure.
No mileage for the mileage BMW contest this year!
Summer after i got the Suzuki was for me a "save money mode". Cost me a bit to get the DR650 from Vancouver Island and shipped the bike home. All expenses and a few unforeseen. Would have been expensive as well to have driven it home..maybe more than the shipping charges.
So as I say no excuse but Aïda and I are thinking about the Cass City BMW Rally in W.Va. for as many R65's as we can get next June or late May.
1983 R65LS - LRB still my favourite!? 1988 Honda NX250, "Toodles Too" and a Suzuki DR650, "Calypso." All stored in the "Brrrmmm Closet".

I said last October that I was back, but then fell out again.  I'm back yet again. My '86 is running better than ever. Keep edging closer to having it just like I want it. Riding quite a bit. Learning a lot. Have a new house with a bigger shop. After two difficult years, all is finally well enough.

I'm still riding my '65 to work almost every day,occasionally using the R60/6 to keep the oil circulating. The biggest disappointment this year has  been the lack of use of the RS. The good news is I turned 65 a couple of weeks ago and Easter 2015 is retirement week! Looking forward to a few midweek "wrinkly" runs. Glyn.
