I'm getting really psyched now. I was hoping to pick up the R65 in a month or so but a friend's brother who lives near me was planning on going up to Vermont and offered to bring it down for me. Yes! He met the seller this morning and sent me this pic when she was all loaded up:



Now I just have to wait until Monday when he gets back into town.

You know you're in Maine when you see a BMW airhead loaded into a Series 3 Landrover.

She's home:



She's got a brand new BMW battery and her original toolkit:

I'll change all her fluids and wait for some warm weather.

Congrats, looks like a real nice ride!

Does anyone know what brand of rear rack that is? I'd like something similar.

I'm not sure about the rack, Al, but I'll take a closer look for you. Hopefully the strange white stuff will be gone soon, Bob, very soon.

I just started her up for a bit and put her in the garage. I'll change all the fluids and clean her up a bit. The PO bought her in 1986. The odometer reads 10,837 miles. I've got the receipt from two years ago when the carbs and brakes and ignition were totally rebuilt, $1,242 worth of work.
The gas tank is pretty rough, dents on both sides and it's been coated inside.
I'm pretty excited.
