Max BMW - Brookfield Ct.



Bumblebee R100GS probably a '88 or '89. Love the early models '88 and '89. I just like the small simple headlite bucket assemble. But hey, that's just me.

Nice little R75 toaster, looks good with the solo police seat. I think the /6 muffler kinda takes a little away from the bike. But it was a nice bike.

Daytona style early 70's road race BMW. Should have got more info on it. Probably famous.

Red and yellow K1 is always an attention getter. If I remember correctly probably '89 or '90. Just seems like the other day they were the latest greatest. The front fender wasn't a fender. It was a fairing fender. I think these bikes were rated 100HP

History class is over, and there will be no test. Can't stand grading papers. Everybody gets an A.

Actually very interesting Barry I'm a crappy tourist......would have driven right by.

Thx, Gary. Some people luv to ride with me; can't wait to find out about some new interesting place or event they didn't know about. The other half is just the opposite. Can't stand to ride with him, he's always running down some road to see an old building or bridge or place where something God only knows what happened 1000 years ago. I guess it's either a calling or a mental illness. Barryv

Turbocharged K100



Pretty hot number back in the day. Like the K75C fairing, GS hand guards, spot lamp kit, Russel Daylong seat, Mustang tank cover. Hot setup back in the late 80's

I don't know anything about this bike. Pretty sure it's probably fast. I try to show a little of everything.

Some More Max

Was my usual nosy self. Saw an open door back to the shop area. Walked up, peeked in. Over the top tech shop work garage. Spied a guy I kinda recognized. It was Phil Cheney, one of the lead techs on the R90S, one off build. Kinda gave him an acknowledge salute. Phil walked over and closed the door. Oh no., I can't believe it. Hung my head and made the most of it. Went back to looking at all the nice bikes and visiting with the sales reps.

I like it when a guy matches the bike.
