Keeping it...
Quote:
 It just means that I'll have to install 96' of stockade fence myself rather than have it done. That's okay. I'm actually looking forward to it. It may not be dead straight, but it will keep the neighbor's dog out of our back yard.

just back from a short vacation and saw this post ^
that's great news FTB  after all that work you've invested, good to hear you'll continue to enjoy it no doubt the fence will be worthwhile.

When I started scouting bikes for my 1st ride, I had the ST brochure. I loved the styling. Financially, it was out of my reach though. One just happened to drop in my lap. |

Auction ending today
A friend of mine is moving from New Hampshire to California. He will have room for only two of his three BMW bikes. His R80ST is for sale on eBay - LINK. I know this bike and its owner. It is very clean and well maintained.

Well, I done dun it.... look what followed me home:
 1984 R80ST #7745 Seat is a butt-fugly Russell which was removed a) so I wouldn't go blindbonkers and b) it was going to rain, and I want to cut away dry foam.... Plan to do something with rear rack/indicators, probably go with a white/pinstripe scheme, and just enjoy the ole girl... yeeeeehaw!!

Excellent! Tony keeps great care of all his things. You're lucky to have that bike. Here is mine just hanging out in the garage with the racing bike...

Bob, Do you have the Russell seat? And are you going to sell it? I'm interested if its in good shape. Good find - I like the ones in silver.

Hi Mark... am on a friend's Mac and I don't have access to my smugmug and otherwise cannot load photo... the seat is black, I can email you pics if you like. Email me at bpeckm at gmail dot com and I will respond with some photos.
I was just going to pull off the cover and shape the foam to my liking and have someone local cover it. If you can use it, I basically need a pan and foam and can punt from there... trade? At some point I might go with a Corbin, but the $$ are extremely tight these days! Bob |

Yeah, Tony told me you were right over in G'town. Nice to know there's a fellow "ST" rider in the area!
