That GS 1150 or that RS 1100 bet they would make good long
distance machines.

I did 2000km on an RT1200 in September over a four day period. It was so nice to ride that I could have turned around and done the trip the other way around. I think that BMW make a fabulous product.

Then shortly afterwards I did a 100 mile trip on the old K0. Harsh suspension, relatively underpowered, sitting up in the wind half the day, dodgy brakes, getting a bit tired on that hard seat...but, I certainly won't be getting rid of the K0, there is nothing like it.

Is this acute onset, or has this been coming on for a while? When did this begin? Did some crisis precede this? Is it accompanied by any other signs or symptoms? Headache, dizziness, nausea or vomitting, disorientation? Have you suffered head trauma anytime in the recent past? Does anything provoke these attacks? Relieve them? Have you been doing drugs or alcohol? When is this illness worst, or is it fairly consistent and constant?

You do understand that open forum does not necessarily imply open minded?

A BMW doesn't seem to fit the image of somebody who does their off roading on a horse.

I know burma, I was thinking of breaking new ground here,
but the asprins seem to have worked and this acute onset of BMWitis
has let up.

(mostly because I quit looking at them on ebay

...hey Robert, a cousin of mine back in Rob Co. just picked up an R1200. He's bating me to go cross country with him next summer. Get a bike together and join us! The question is are you gonna take the easy way out and do it on a beamer, or do it on a 30 year old bike?

I'm going to will this 77 super sport to make the trip. Not sure if I'm brave or just a glutton for punishment!

Uncle Ernie · « **Reply #9 on:** November 27, 2006, 07:37:22 AM »

I love the older ones. Handsome and comfortable. My first bike was an R26.

Lumbee · « **Reply #10 on:** November 27, 2006, 07:40:36 AM »

...hey ernie, i almost tryed to look you up this weekend. i was in ashville at my in-laws place. Mom-in-law was driving me nutz, and I need a few hours away from her!

Thankfully the weather was nice so we were about to get out of the house...

Rocking-M · « **Reply #11 on:** November 27, 2006, 02:31:18 PM »

Hey Lumbee,
Keep me up to date on your bike trip. I'll take the hard route with my 77 if
I can get in some miles with you gents. I always wanted to back in the day.

Uncle Ernie · « **Reply #12 on:** November 27, 2006, 02:39:29 PM »

"hey ernie, i almost tryed to look you up this weekend. "

Any time. We're in the old brick house with the weeping cherry tree in front.
When I get back to normal. I'll be out riding on days like that. Perfect-o !

Brunow · « **Reply #14 on:** November 28, 2006, 06:09:34 AM »

Thats the RS, I believe. 60hp from 500cc. 1954ish?

I had a lovely r75. Black with white pinstripes, toaster tank.

Uncle Ernie · « **Reply #16 on:** November 28, 2006, 08:10:04 PM »

I'm not sure, but I think that may be a purpose built super charged 500cc racer. Very rare.

Here's a picture of my hot-rod sleeper. Sounds impressive if I say it's 400cc over stock. It has a sidecar on it now.

Check out this site for good Beemer info. http://www.bmwrt.com/index.html

I'm leaning that way myself, won't let go of the Hondamatic, but I need something for 2 up long distance.

Uncle Ernie · « **Reply #18 on:** November 29, 2006, 09:40:35 AM »

Here is a link to the best sport touring stories you will EVER read.

It's contained inone of the best older BMW info sites there is. Duane Ausherman has been into Beemers a long time.

you got to love the classic lines of an air head

Uncle Ernie · « **Reply #20 on:** November 29, 2006, 11:24:05 AM »

Is that a 450? More incredibly- is that yours? What year?

scunny · « **Reply #21 on:** November 29, 2006, 10:12:23 PM »

Well Paul, I was

that you didn't get that one.

It's a 500cc factory Rennsport racer from the 50s.... no Kommpressor.

Brunow, they're known as "Toaster Tanks"

Samer, despite my rugged good looks with the penetrating, owlish gaze, you'd be amazed at how much I don't know.
