R65 love
« on: January 23, 2007, 01:39:55 PM »
How much do you love your wee beemer?

Enough for an R65 tattoo?

Who has one? What's it look like?

I'm asking because I'm thinking of one but this

is too, uh... "detailed".

Thanks!

HI Joan!

I refer all BMW/motorcycle/tattoo queries to Suki at MySpace.

So far, no tats for me.

I'm not sure about putting  a tattoo of an R65 on my body, but will likely put a BMW roundel on me sometime this summer!  (That covers me if I get my "dream bike", the R1200C Montana later this year!) ::)

Wow! I'd have guessed _everyone_ here would have a permanent honorary mark for their little bike. I mean besides the occasional black and blue that fades quickly! Or those forearm burn marks from the headers. (she giggles)

Ah well... I guess I don't really neeeeed a tattoo, but hell. I'm practically giving away a PERFECT R100RT to make room in my tiny garage for the R65RS project and all her spares, clothes, and luggage, so scheyeah, I'm now committed to the model that gave me my first case of actual moto lust. Maybe I'm R65 Love tatt material after all. Or maybe I've had too much whisky. [smiley=1drink.gif]

I'm thinking the "R65" number and letter motif, the small R and big 65, in blue, black, and a little white would be perfect. Butt where on my ample a$$ should it be....?

Joan, I have another idea.  Why don't you get one of our wonderful and wonderous R65 patches to put on your jacket.  Then everyone could see it and not just those you are closest to.   ;)

Dern it all anyway.  I was going to put a picture here but I can't remember how to do it.   Oh, here it is.  Duh.

Oops.  Forgot to mention.  PM me for more info if you're interested.  They are only $5 apiece.  I have them, at least what's left of them.  

No tattos for me!   Just the idea makes me queasy.  [smiley=thud.gif]

No tatts, but how 'bout this?? Others on this sight may have seen it before on Boxerworks, and no, it's not PhotoShopped, a decal, or a contact.

There is an outline of one where it was glued on my jacket for a brief period, but it started coming loose, so I removed it.  Not a big fan of patches on jackets anyway.  I might get around to sewing it on my tent fly some day.

You know, Bill, I had forgotten about your "accessory" but now remember your post at boxerworks.   [smiley=shocked2.gif]  I will admit that it is probably the most cool and unusual, and at the same time unsettling pieces of gear I've ever seen.   [smiley=naughty.gif]

I also found out that gluing the patch to my heavy leather jacket doesn't work very well -
and I'm loath to try to sew it through that leather, so, I'm probably going to get a
blue, black and white textile/mesh jacket this spring and glue it to that - along with
my BMWMOA patch..
