Post a pic of your Airhead

Can we get a closeup of the head on the wall?:brow

Aren't you interested in the RS at all? :dunno

The story is that one day some renters across the alley were moving out and I saw this head sticking out from all the stuff that they were throwing out. This is Patty who previously was used for hairdresser's school but now protects my cave. Scares the heck out of people walking past the window.


<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kstoo/5331506879/" title="Patty by kstoo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5203/5331506879_c578e23a28_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Patty" /></a>

Much later, I was in somebody's basement looking at a 1976 R75/6 basket case that he had for sale and while working the deal I saw this head sticking out of box of parts. I laughed and told him the story of Patty. He said that if I bought the bike I could have Miss Kim too. Deal! Miss Kim is meaner, too mean to sit in the window. She resides in the remnants of an R100RT fairing.

Don't laugh, it works! No hairdressers or red-headed women have ever broken into my cave!

KSTOO, I'm curious about the seat on your RS. What it is and where it came from.
The foam in my seat is long gone and I need to do something about that some day. Yours looks pretty comfy...
 
Thx, Kstoo. They give your shop some ambiance. I like the upgrades on your bike. Lesters, fork brace, braided lines and floating discs. Good job.

That is a factory stock "comfort" seat. I have always heard them referred to as "comfort" seat but I don't know if this was an option or from specific model years or what. I have one on my RS and my RT. IMHO these are better than any aftermarket seat. You can find these for sale used once in awhile.

After 35 years of riding BMW motorcycles, I've gone full circle and I'm back where I started.

summers only a few months away for us northern folks, but dry sunny days in the 40's in close enough for me
 
Just joined. My first post here.

I bought this new in May of 1971 and still own it. Has a few modifications, electronic ignition, two spark plugs per cylinder, Mikuni Carbs and more. This photo taken a couple of weeks ago.
