I sold My 1972 BMW R75/5. A guy from Denver bought it. I met him in St. Louis with it and he then rode it to Denver. 974 miles with no problems. Not bad for an old bike that sat for 35 years in a garage until I found it. See previous blog about it.
I then turned around and bought this 1990 K100LT. What a great bike. It has all the bells and whistles and if it ever stops raining I am going to ride ride ride.
Yall have a good day now. Ya hear. God Bless.

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.

Got the front springs replaced on my ole 52 customline with no further issues....took the drivers door panel off and removed the door glass....it had developed a small crack in it...probably from me pulling on the glass or i accidentally touched it with something metal...either way it is cracked...not an easy task for me either but will have a new one in a few days and will put it back in....I also hooked up the electric choke so it would start better...i rebuilt a 351 Windsor engine and coupled it with a Ford C6 tranny...it is all the engine this ole car needs for sure ...runs like a dream though and plenty of power..especially when I am pulling my Tear Drop camper...what a great looking combination....here is a pic...the trophy on top is the first place trophy i won at a local car show last summer in the special interest category..yall take care now ya here...God Bless...
