Nothin new to post. Back to the past.

Rode my ‘71 R50/5, life in the slow lane. Yep, almost 30 years ago.

Save-Save-Save I took it serious; I saved it.

Out of The Rag Bag



Pulled this old T outa the rag bag. Kinda sad, probably the first BMW T I ever bought; early 1980’s. Loved this time of my life. Riding in the wind; the little R50 was a good riding partner for a beginner rider.

Back in the early 80's the dealer in Memphis sold H/D's, BMW's, and Yamaha's. It took all three to keep the dealer afloat. The EVO Harley was on the way to save Harley. When the Harley phenomenon took off, the dealership was glad to drop Yamaha then BMW.

Typical Arkansas Winter, cool to cold, wet damp, dark overcast, kinda depressing.

Impressive bike; black with white coach stripes. Perfect

I like the exhaust better on that one, than the big curvy one.
