Just wanted to say howdy! I am a new member but old rider, been at it for over 30 years. There were some breaks for those things like eating, sleeping, working, etc. I have 3 BMWs right now, including my oldest stable member, a 1979 R65 I bought about 14 years ago and pretty much restored and have been maintaining since. When are they ever fully restored? My daily rider is a 2007 K1200GT and I just bought a barn find. The serial number reads out as a 08/1977 R100RS European model, but the title has it as a 1878 R100RT. I has the RS suspension, engine, and tail piece, but the RT fairing, handlebars, and side panels. This all look factory, so if it is not, it is well done. Along the way it also got Mikuni flat slide carbs, dual plug heads, and an Australian brand Stainless Streel exhaust.
I am in San Antonio, or more rightly just outside it, am in the MOA Anonymous book (can't remember my # off hand), send me a note and let's ride.
