Over the years I’ve owned a slew of wheeled mechanical contraptions. Cars, bikes, scooters— mostly of the European persuasion, some quite nice, others.. not so much. I enjoy restoring and tuning on them. Many years ago my fascination was Italian cars. Lately it’s been German motorcycles.
I bought my first BMW about 20 years ago. I’m now on my sixth, all of which have been R-bikes with the distinctive “boxer” engine. But the most recent is a classic BMW motorcycle from 1984, and very different from the fuel injected, ABS-equipped machines I have previously owned.
