As I said in one of my previous post I bought this old 1972 BMW R75/5 late last summer. Took it apart and cleaned it up. Engine was locked up. Got it free and rebuilt carbs and did all the stuff it took to get it running good. Well, I just sold it to a kid in Denver last week. He was working in St Louis and saw the ad I had on Craig's List. He paid me to take it to him in St. Louis. As soon as I rolled it off the trailer he start packing the saddlebags and said he was going to ride it back to Denver and would send me a note as to how his trip went. I had only put 25 miles on it after I got it running. I got  a note two days later that he did 974 miles in 24 hours and the bike made the trip like a champ. I knew this was a solid old bike. German engineering back then was great.
Yall take care know and GOD Bless.
