John Drury, see! All this started just because I rode my BMW 100 RS over to your house, Good thing I didn't drive the Ferarri over! Man, I'm glad to see so many players that love to get out and ride. I think I really enjoy it more and more as years go by. At 14 years old, Dad got me a Cushman Pacer, then a Vespa at 14 1/2. I rode it until the Air Force days, bought a '49 Harly 'Hydro Glide, when it ran it was great , when it didn't, it was still a great learning experience. That was many bikes ago. Loved them all, and I'm still going! [This message was edited by BobbeSeymour on 03 September 2004 at 07:41 AM.] |

I have been around motorcycles all my life. Dad had me riding pretty young and I always have remembered him having one. The 250 twin Yamaha I put alot of miles on. Later I got a brand new Honda Ascot V-twin. Wish I would have kept that one. I have always wanted a Harley and finally got one. Its a 1981 XLH Sportster with a sport-bob tank, S&S carb, stroker kit, and drag pipes, and only 13'000 original miles. Plum Crazy Metallic paint job. Plan on keepin this one a long time. Greg |

Bobbe, Lets do a ride out to Loveless for breakfast next Sunday, are you up for it? Maybe do a few miles of the Trace? I havent checked out the cuisine at the Loveless Cafe since they reopened, it used to be great! I'll be there around 0900 - be there or be square! I'll post this on events and announcements in case any one else is up for a ride. John Drury |

Chris! YES! A great favorite of mine. I've had two like yours. No complaints at all, this is why I decided to try the '85 K-100. (that and a good deal!) John Drury, yes, count on me to ride to the famous "Love-less" cafe with you. And all you other player/riders be there also. This is a very famous place and the food is incredible! This should be a blast! I want to see what you guys are riding. Yea, by the way John, I lost the alternator again on the Beechcraft on the way back from St.Louis. At night too! I hope to have a perm. fix for this soon. bobbe |

Since a couple pickers here have expressed their interest in Beemers and heck Mr. Seymour owns a "Brick, I thought I'd share my 94 R100GSPD Airhead. 95 was the last year BMW imported Airheads to CONUS prior to the major design change of the present-day "Oilhead. I have read they made them unitl 97 for European sales but no real facts. This picture was taken near Ebbett's Pass a few miles from Markleeville. It's a hoot and a GREAT biker town! When I'm on the road, she usually sports Jesse Bags, but this day I was riding alot of fire roads in the Sierra's and that would've been stooooopid. Got her for a steal in Medford, OR a couple years ago. Meine BMW ist sehr schön! Echt schöne motorad!

Thanks guys for the kind words about the steed. She is a hoot on trails and just as fun in the twisties. Hey CrowBear! I would love to ride Europe at some point. With regard to your question; the John, that was my feeble attempt at recalling some (German) Deutsch. The way you quoted it though, you're right, I wouldn't know what was being said! Howdy Gene. Is that Monument Valley or close? How you doing David? Sure has been awhile. Beautiful pics of Yosemite and a very NICE scoot bud!

thanx Steve i should have thought of Paris/Dakar i thought it was Polizei cause of that solo seat - i had'nt seen one like that here (stock that is) is the engine stock ? it almost looks like it but the valve covers tell me it is'nt G: Gelande (offroad) is right S is Strasse (Street or Road) Gene, i believe yer right !

CrowBear, yeah you're correct. "S" does stand for "Straße. Note my correction above. My brain obviously wasn't up to the task today. The valve covers, the Ohlin shock, Omega charging system are the only mods. I never cared for the "squared" valve covers. Other than that, she is stock. The ohlin and Omega charging system are MUST mods for any Airhead owner if you ride hard and during the winter! With the Ohlin, she handles like a cafe racer albeit without the speed.

Actually it was to translate to something like "My BMW is very nice! Really clarifies moto-bicycle! Motorad is German for our word "motorcycle. Take care you all. Thanks for the fun with Deutsch. |

Hi there - I have a 2002 Triumph Sprint St. She gets ridden on my commute 5 days a week, rain or rain (well, it IS England....). Actually, it's been really hot this summer - I got a great Hein Gericke jacket in Miami a few months back. It's pretty much all mesh, with their armour and a waterproof zip out lining. Love it! Ian |

Now that Fall is approaching, we ought to head up the hill on a putt. Gudgel has been talking about us getting together with you one Sunday afternoon. How about watch a Dallas game, talk shop/do some pickin' and take a ride? Would be nice to see your MSA up close and personal. Let's make it a plan bro!
