  1. This thread is about motorcycling, and about me, so y'all can ignore if it you like. Just reminiscing about some good times in the past:

    I spent much of my free time in the late '80s and '90s on various BMW motorcycles, bopping around and camping in the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, etc..

  2. Not exactly #motorcycle content, but very much #motorcycle -adjacent and probably a very bad, enabling idea. Especially for someone like me who has a self control problem when it comes to well priced (ok, cheap) motorcycles.

    I mean, who doesn't want a cool, rare motorcycle trailer with zero spares availability?

    There’s no template for running a custom motorcycle workshop. Some are full-on emporiums; mechanics and fabricators tinker away…

  5. Contrary to popular belief, I actually do occasionally use my motorcycles instead of just trying to fix them 😆. A couple of weekends ago, I took my BMW R100GS out in search for some peak fall colours around where I live.

  10. I posted about my recently acquired BMW R100GS a couple of times, and I finally got around to making a video about it after the new-to-me camera ate my first attempt.

  15. Well, this is a first for me - on the cover of two magazines at once! But let's not kid ourselves, the real star is the BMW R 1300 GS! I rode the bike last fall in Spain. Ask me anything!

    Thanks to RoadRUNNER and On The Level for the opportunity!

  16. Over the last few months I’ve slowly been working on an older BMW K-series #motorcycle and tried to get it back on the road. I’ve just uploaded the latest project update to my fledgling YouTube channel:

  17. Time to leave our luxury Czech accommodation and make tracks back to Germany for one night.

    But first: empty out the pannier that seems to have collected a bit of water after sitting through umpteen downpours. Something to investigate when we get home.

  18. Took the BMW K100RS out for its first proper ride. Looks like I made it through 60 miles without anything falling off (at least nothing I noticed yet) and it seems to be running better. Confirms my suspicion that it really needs to run to blow out the cobwebs.

    Front brake isn't that great though - it works but could do with some improvement.

  19. Right, my BMW K100RS 16V #motorcycle is finally back together and looks exactly like it did when I started taking it apart. Well, plus the top box and some minor other fixes.

    The current plan is to ride it for 500-1000 miles and then go through it again as the bike is pretty low mileage for the age and must've spent a long time laid up. Unfortunately I don't know much about its history.

  20. It's too muggy outside to enjoy riding one of my working #motorcycles, at least until I get myself another mesh jacket.

    Not that working in this workshop is any better, but at least I got a bit closer getting this particular project #motorcycle back on the road.
