I have lusted after an r60 for decades…nice bike. Nothing like a bmw motorcycle for a classy and comfortable…and nowadays nostalgic ride. When I was younger I had a Yamaha 650 special with a windshield and a kick/electric start. My buddies who rode laughed at my windshield but I was a messenger for about a year and it helped a lot and I loved it. Then I had a 750 virago belt drive. Now I have a 1974 Honda xl250 enduro in the garage but it’s just a put put put summer camp trail bike.Yes. Its a1988.
I too had a Yamaha XS650 back in the early eighties and I sold a '75 Honda XL350 last summer. Several bikes have come and gone, but the BMW just keeps hanging around. Here's a pic from a couple of weeks ago at Little Dixie Lake.I have lusted after an r60 for decades…nice bike. Nothing like a bmw motorcycle for a classy and comfortable…and nowadays nostalgic ride.

Bummer you had to quit riding Almost everybody ages out of the sport if you live long enough. At 61, I'm hopeful for a few more years at a minimum.I loved my 650 Yamaha. An 08 model drive shaft bike. Also had a 1500 Kawasaki 08 model Vulcan with drive shaft. I guess I liked drive shafts rather than chains or belts. Arthritis and bum left leg made me quit riding in 17- I miss it.
Hate when that happens...... when the cylinders would not pass between a couple of trees...
I still don't know where my tiny hatchets are, but I found some of my adjustable wrenches and a few slightly related objects.
How about these two. The 69 (4") is the smallest of the family and the 85 (18") one of the biggest.
