Cool old Beamer

[Steel]

I rode north a few miles to eat at a really good Mexican place someone told me about. When I pulled in there was an old BMW in the parking lot. Sadly I didn't get to meet the owner, but I did get a couple of pictures.

The Beemer tis definitely a KEWL old iron!

Looks pretty cool I like the simplicity of the bike. But I think his sidecar geometry needs a good looking at...............

I've never had any problems keeping women away. They are naturally repelled by me.

I've been over to the Brightona motorcycle event in Brighton several times. There is a very similar machine with sidecar that comes along every year, a bit tatty and in need of restoration really. The owner is 85+ years old, and always arrives with his wife in sidecar. Watching them both get off/out is quite a spectacle. No assistance required or wanted and if offered is politely refused.

Just ran into the Beamer and got to meet the owners this time. Really nice couple. The bike is a 66' just like me . He bought it 35 years ago, and used it to carry off his bride when they got married 32 years ago. They are still happy, and riding.

Here's mine, 1980 r65, going to my daughter in NC soon so she can ride her dogs around.

Hey, @Steel , I just noticed your bike in the background, I didn't recognize it with both wheels touching the ground.

That only happens when the motor is off. I'll have to see if I can fix that.
