Morning!



I've got a cat and mouse story but more importantly at the moment:  is $4k about a grand(+?) too much for a '76 BMW R90/6 with 95k miles n it?   (Has new tires and brakes, 2 owners, 1 "yoda of BMW's" mechanic.)

What's the draw for you to THAT bike?

Dogs walked and fed, now bath time. [evil]

I like the cafe racers.  They're like cute, little two-wheeled grocery getters.  

Price is good (assuming, IF I were to get it it wouldn't be for $4k), it's a few blocks from the house (which means nothing other than if it's not as good as what the guy says, I can go throw eggs at his house).

But I can't see me on it in my full Duc-branded leathers.  Would have to get a whole new riding wardrobe.   ;)

Definitely a shift from the 796.

My wife can come up with numerous reasons to go shopping, but you might have taken it to a new level.   [clap]

I would ride something like that. I like the cafe look. + old beemers are cool. The prices are out of the world for some of the mid 70's Honda bikes.

Lunch with the cousins and then the craft show. Hike tomorrow!

^  I like those too.

Here's the one in the 'hood (I would anticipate having to get a half helmet, goggles, lots of flowy scarves...):

This.

Quit dancing around and get it.

You know its the right bike for you.

Your leathers will approve.

Your friends will approve.

The clouds will part, rainbows will shine on you wherever you go and its exhaust will smell like cinnamon rolls and kittens.

What are you waiting for?

Last Randimus heard was that his flight was delayed last night.  You would have thought one of them would have posted by now.  My guess is they got out of the airport and went straight away to a bar with a "view".
