BMW R-Series description

Very nice patina'd old Airhead BMW R60/2.  Title follows the triple numbers matching R50/2 that is started out as.  The previous Owner has the motor rebuilt to R60 specs when he had the motor gone through.  He did not have the paperwork so I do not have it either. You can visually see the R60 cylinders on the motor and it runs beautifully.  Since I've owned the bike, I've replaced the tires, all cables, battery, battery strap, air filter and cork base, plugs, plug caps, and had the carbs balanced.  The bike starts on one or two kicks.

Like I mentioned in the description, the bike is unrestored.  It cleans up nice and as a 10 footer admirable quality.  Its a 50 year old bike with some nice looking patina.  There are scratches here and there, and dent on the tank and some on the fenders.  

I have some more parts like springs and shocks and such that can go with the bike.

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Earlier this month, we reported a recall issued by Transport Canada for the 2012 and 2013 BMW S1000RR because of a problem with their side stands. That recall has now expanded to the U.S., affecting 2,385 units. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the side stand attachment bolts on the affect BMW S1000RR units can loosen because of a manufacturing fault.

The future. But we can't have it

Thu, 10 Nov 2011

It's no secret that we motorcyclists are getting older. We're ageing because less people are passing their bike test each year (roughly 30,000 last year compared to 50,000 for the 10 years before the new two-part test) and so not only is the pool not growing it's not even being replenished and so the average age isn't being diluted down by yoof. When the going gets tough in any situation, you really get to see who's got their shit-sorted and who's light enough on their feet to adapt to change.
