New SoCal member saying hi

Hi all,

Getting back into bikes after a long break, familiar story..

I wanted to fix up an old bike, head set on a BMW airhead as I love the sound of a twin and think the boxer is one of the best configurations.
Found a R75/6 in need of much love, the owner also had a Ducati so impulse purchase.. I got two non running European twins in one day

Ducati needed a new engine and "looked" like the easier rebuild so I did that first so I would have something to ride.

Now I have the R75 up on the table and having lurked on the forums for some time I knew I wanted to join at the start of the rebuild so I had some place to turn for advice and to share the trials & tribulations inherent in every build.

With luck I will get her running soon and we can share many BMW riding stories together.

Welcome, Stephen from SoCal -

Yes, those Airhead twins are music to our ears. Look forward to hearing about your restoration process over in the Airhead forum.

BTW, we are also big sucker for PICTURES! Good luck with the restoration.
