Post your Airhead pics

I might as well post a picture of my 1975 R60/6 which I bought a few years ago because price was right and I figured I could use some of the parts from it on my 1974 R75/6 (rear drive, tranny, gas tank and seat). It's got a broken timing chain but other than that it's pretty decent. I haven't had the heart to cannibalize it for parts primarily because it is complete and more importantly, I haven't had the need for the parts yet. It's kind of amazing to me (and even more so to my wife)how I got bitten by the airhead bug. Eight years ago, for reasons still unclear to me, I somehow developed a strong desire to get an airhead. I ended up getting a Honda 450CL instead as a way to get back into riding after a 20 year spell of no bike. Now I've got 5 in the garage (two ridden on a regular basis - my 1974 R75/6 and my 1991 R100GS- the others not operable) and one in the shed. My 1972 R60/5 restoration project (my first BMW) is about 75% complete but languishing due to lack of time (if I'm not riding I'm doing the ongoing maintenance on the ones I do ride). Feel free to let me know if you think I should seek professional help for my addiction.

Umm, i think what you're asking is like a mental hospital patient getting counselling from another patient....personally I don't see that you have a problem!!

I have several airhead projects in various states of disassembly, and more than enough spares to further assemble at least two more airheads. My R90S has been finished and running for 2 1/2 years but before that it was in bits for 14 long years.....I pulled the toaster R75/5 apart almost six months ago, and at the rate i'm going it'll be at least another six months before it's anywhere near finished & running again. The R90/6 is still in bits too. Besides my crap, i'm also storing a '74 R90S in bits for a mate, and a '77 R100S in bits for another mate.

Personally, i don't smoke or drink, and live an otherwise modest lifestyle. My wife knows where I am and what I'm doing, and I don't let activities in the shed interfere with family life. Fortunately my wife rides too....

Nah, you're not nuts! It's all those others that are crazy!

Here's my '89 GS. Twin plugged, Corbin seat, Keihan pipes and Wilbers rear shock.

Yeah, he also washed my cars in the 50ties...

My apologies if I've already posted in here, but I don't believe I have.

My '77 R100/7. 15,800 orginal miles, bone stock with the exception of Boyer electronics and a Brown's sidestand.

:huh

NCGS, she is beautiful, but you need to exercise her more often!

You're right.. I rode her 200 miles on Friday. She runs like a Swiss watch.

87 Mono g/s. last ride before pulling her down for some TLC

Nice looking bike, is that outside the church at Lockington?

Hi Joe, It's outside the church at Breedon on the Hill --> http://www.le.ac.uk/emoha/leicester/breedon.html

I used to shoot at Hemlock. Nice round there.

Metzler Enduro 1's. Nice and cheap and still available. They're the original fitment for the g/s and were designed for the bike, they work really well apart from getting a big vague around 100 Mph - doesn't happen often enough for it to be a concern though.

Taken today on Pitt Town Road. Me coming out of a 25km/h 90 degrees corner.

Splendid G/S
exhauste manifoil seems large ? what brand is it ?
any chance to see the bike at the other side ?

Upgraded the panniers on the GS.

Just rigged up and installed some Korean war vintage Navy ammo cans as panners. Watertight but really heavy.
