Noob here, with some R65 questions

[Altritter]

Hey, jimj:

[Tried to PM you, but my browser burped on me. I've been having big-time Net problems for about a month, so I'm almost positive the fault is with my ISP. Apologies in advance for cluttering the public space.]

Check my posting today on this subject on the Trading Post forum here. At an initial asking price of $2.5K, (1) it's at least within striking range; (2) Ellicott is on the south side of Baltimore, if my memory is correct; and (3) the member of BMWBMW Club who sent out the alert supposedly lives in the general area. Couldn't hurt to go to the site, contact the member (if possible), and  check out whether he would be willing to assist. (He rides an R65, also.)

If you have difficulty with bmwbmw's site, PM me. (Please be patient if you don't hear from me immediately -- see reference above to problems, which won't be resolved until next Thursday at the earliest.) I'll try to get the information to enable you to contact the club member. (Unfortunately, my schedule doesn't permit me to ride up there -- it's somewhere between 50 and 75 miles one-way around the DC Beltway & up either I-95 or the Balt-Wash Parkway.

Good luck!   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Thanks!

MD is a bit too far for me right now I think. I was kind of hoping to stay with bikes within an hour or two of Raleigh so at least if someone needed to deliver it to me, it wouldn't be very far. Worse case, I could find something kind of local to where I'm at in VA and keep it in a friend's garage until I get a hitch/trailer for my '94 E-150 to bring it to NC.

At least they're out there  8-)

Unless I come across some major gem in the next couple months, I'm kind of shooting for buying something in November...I have a week and a half off then so I'll have time to pick it up and maybe do some troubleshooting if I need to. I also need to go to the NC DMV and have some questions that I have answered
