You've got a bunch of black bikes! One of the best colors for beemers!

I wasn't ever into white bikes, but somehow wound up with two - and each when I got them, figured on a repaint. Now, years later they're still white. :)

I've pretty much been riding the LS even though the garage is full of other beemers. Lately the only others I ride are the R80G/S and the 77R100RS. Mostly it's the LS though.

This is the baddest in my foursome. The scoot is a SunL with all the identity trim stripped off and an old BMW roundel stuck on the front. Note the trunk. Makes it look like a Harley, don'cha think.

Grandson rocks it.

Cable service guy said, "I didn't know BMW made scooters." That was then. BMW does make scooters... now.

The RWL was the only EliteII front I could find in that size!  Rear was easy...

The reason I got the R65 Mono was to get down to one road bike, so it had to cover many tasks for me...and it does. I can no longer afford to keep several road bikes to pick and choose from, I change my R65 to suit my needs at the time.

My other bike is a 1987 Honda TLR200 that I sometimes use in Twinshock Trials, I've had it for over 10 years now. Otherwise, a shed full of projects.
