Hi All,

Just a quick update, viewing the bike later this week (taking the camera), agreed a ball park price of £500 ( subject to final view.

It's black, done around 30k miles and is an 81.

I hope to have some pics up to view.

Cheers

Hmm. Thought I knew most of the BritComs that nearly every PBS station in the country runs on Saturday nights, but this one's new to me. Sounds kinda fun—a kind of Hogan's Heroes with sex appeal.  

Wish the local PBS stations would subscribe to something new. We have two that run BritComs, and they seem to run precisely the same programing.

But what I'd really like to see (or hear, to be precise) is NPR running audio tapes of The Goon Show, followed closely by a repeat of the 1980s PBS classic, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. There's something about Trillian that works for me!

Hi Folks,

Just to let you know I finally agreed a price and have bought the bike for £600.

It comes with panniers as well.

I collect it this Sunday afternoon  , so hope to have some pics up later that day.

I would really appreciate some help as to where to start, so will post a list of jobs required.

Thanks to all again.

You and Lucky Lou need to get together.  I am far south in Wiltshire.

Good Luck

Thanks Steve,

I will do.

Garage is all prepared and waiting for the new arrival!

It looks like having had an interesting history having spent about 3 years in Norway. Problems I know about are surface rust on swing arm section, side covers missing and front brakes (twin disc) not working.

I am sure that there are many more just waiting to be found. Paint work on the tank looks really good, anyway, a few more days and we shall see!

Looking forward to sharing the journey with you more experienced guys and learning the joys and trials of owning, restoring and running a nearly 30 year old BMW!

Morning All,

Collected the bike yesterday afternoon and she now resides in her new home!

Check out the pics, I will set up a website to post the full story as it unfolds!

Thanks again for the advice, I can assure you it will be put to good and full use.

Hopefully Lucky Lou will pop over and take a look and provide further advice.

Looking forward (with a little trepidation) to the journey ahead.

Cheers

[Ed Miller]

Congratulations!  Looks pretty good.
