Hello all, I'm a noob on this forum, and a happy owner of a 1982 R65 USA model with just under 30,000 miles on her clock. I'm in southeastern NC, and have owned this bike only a short while - September 2013 if I'm remembering it right. I owned a R60/5 in the late 70s and early 80s, then went without a bike for twenty five plus years, until one day in 2008 I bought two Honda CB 350s on the same day (one not running), and I seem to have slipped into a time warp or something, because I'm on a BMW again by the grace of a good friend who thought I needed one and who was under the misconception that he no longer did. I hope to remember some of what little I once knew about BMW R model mechanics, and to learn what I failed to grasp the first time around, as tinkering is as much fun as riding for me, except when I screw up something out of ignorance, then not so much. So, there's the obligatory first post, and I look forward to enjoying the forum.
