I have acquired thru a trade a 1967 R50/2 which I put on 2,500 miles last year, so I have 19,402 miles now. I would like to eventually try some longer distance rideing this year. I can't ride with Harley's as I can't hear the engine for smooth shifts, It's too quiet. I hope I see other's out on theirs as it is pretty lonely out there as all the other Beemer's are bigger and faster and newer than me. Is there anyone out there who rides their's or are they only pedistal pieces now?
