Hello people, just joined the forum. To make a long story longer, here is the story:
My Dad has owned various BMW's since I was a kid and we would go to Euray Colorado every fall to a BMW Rally. When I was old enough to have a license, my first road Bike was a 1978 R60/7. That bike unfortunately lost a fight with a car sometime in early 1990, and had not owned one since, until up to a year ago.
A guy that I worked with had been trying to sell me a 1982 R65 for some time, but was unable to buy it because I just did not have the space for it. A couple of years later, he decided to move to Washington state in a hurry, and needed to sell alot of stuff fast. He told me to come get it and i said that I wanted to at least give him something for it, so he said a hundred bucks. I could have gotten it for free if I had kept my mouth shut. He had bought a Harley some years earlier, so the bike had sat in the garage for at least 5 years. It'll crank and run, but I have not run it for very long as I have no clue what condition the internals are in. My goal is, in the next several months, to tear it down and then build it back up.
Overall, it's garage dirty, but not beyond cleaning up into a nice bike....just waiting on the Clymer manual.
