Post a pic of your Airhead

1972 bmw r75/5

The crazy midwest heat wave allowed me to shake off a few cobwebs and test out various carb adjustments i've been doing over the winter.

The fact I got out for a 30+ min ride was quite a needed teaser. Spring can't come soon enough ;)

group photo - wash day

Unbelievable warm day for February here in South Carolina. Quick bath to clean off a few bugs before heading out for a ride up to the Sandblast Rally.

My wife and I own a more battered, unrestored version of this very bike. Same color, same outfiting. My all time favorite, and we campaign it vigorously. These are the best, simplest of all airheads and I love them.
 
I like the looks of your bike. Nice /6 with some good mix of classic BMW black, black rims, polished aluminum, solo seat. Old school cool; your ready for Bike Nite.
I have a buddy with an R69S. We went to a large vintage bike show together and decided that the parking lot was the wrong place for our bikes. THe show was great. Billy Joel came incognito on his Moto Guzzi and sat it for a few sets with the band. No one know it was him singing since they weren't doing his songs.
 
my 1983 R80RT



might have battery covers and a title saying RT, but not an RT fairing at all,
if a ttiled RT it will ( or most likely has) have a final drive ratio rated to pull the extra weight and accelerate faster, but at the sacrafice of higher engine rpm and lower mpg at crusing speed

other than that, very nice looking bike, very nice

So with the S fairing that should make it a Hot Rod!
 
My favorite rides: 76 R90/6 and 93 R100R Legend. Unfortunately they are asleep in the garage for a little while longer as it's finally Mar the 'Spring' month:dance
