New member from n/w suburbs chicagoland

[parked2long]

Former member long time ago back when I had a 1985 K100rs, Sold it 10 years ago.
I just acquired a stable of R-bikes that has been parked WAY to long!
The one parked the longest hasn't moved since long before 1997 (97 was the first time I saw the bike and it was covered in dust back then) and has not moved even an inch.

Its a 1968 r60/2 with a Steib s350 sidecar, Unfortunaly the tub is rusted, missing a few parts improperly stored. BUT COOL AS HELL
That is the 2nd or 3rd coolest bike
There is a R27 too

I have very limited Airhead knowledge. I will have a bunch of questions, probably some stupid

I also have/ride a 99 k1200LT

Welcome. If you have not already, you might want to join the Chicago Region BMW Owners Association, the local MOA Club. We have lots of members familiar with airhead bikes and our CHITECH members have a Tech Manual for airhead bikes that are purchased by riders from all over the country. We are having a Tech Day on April 29 out near Elgin where we will go over various bike repair topics and have hands on assistance for members.

Lots of events - day rides, multiple day rides, meetings, seminars, guest speakers, weekly Hot Dog rides and monthly breakfast rides and more.

We have a Hot Dog Ride tonight in Naperville @6:30pm.

Welcome back from Newfoundland. Have you joined the Airheads Beemer Club yet? Definitely worth joining for the mass knowledge stored in the minds of the membership.
