Early crisp morning in South Texas
Started out early morning from Mission, TX to Boonebucks by San Isidro for breakfast. It was around the upper 30's around 7 am, went up to the upper 50's by 11. I had to use my old ski gloves since my '77 R65 has no heated grips. Layers and leathers were the themes for the early morning ride.

Wow! How did you get the paint so shiny? My friend who was the previous owner of my 1986 R80RT wasn't too concerned with cleaning my bike when it was his for 20 years. I would like to keep the original stock paint, but I wish it would shine better. What is your secret. I only have 440000 miles on mine.
Love that blue color. Bill

Very nice Monza Blue Toaster. Years ago a friend purchased one just like that...same fairing, etc in New Hampshire. Back to the Future.
Attached are 6 photos of my original 1972 /5 that I found on some old 35mm slides. These were taken on a trip in July through the Rockies between Jasper and Banff, Alberta, Canada. One shot show me standing beside my bike with a big snowball in my hand. The bike was only about 3 months old then, all new and shiny. It was a great trip, despite waking up the first morning with 6 inches of snow on the tent, and having to wait for the snow to be cleared from the highway before continuing. I wish the shots of the bike were a bit better, but at that time I was more interested in the background, but those mountains are still there and my bike isn't. Luckily I have a duplicate now. I looked at a preview of this post and the pictures are huge, but I can't figure out how to downsize them, maybe they will go to their actual size when I send the post. If not, you will have to scroll over/and/or up and down to see it all.

Just an R100 standard. I don't think it is rare, other than attrition of the rest of them. Mine has a Rifle fairing added, and GS handguards.

Yep. K75Ts are pretty rare, too.
