Just signed up. So I thought I should post here first. I build my own Dual Sports from vintage BMW airheads using my own unique suspension designs.

Here's my daily ride a modded R75/6.

My distance bike a modded R100R

..... and my R65 desert sled.

....but in all fairness I'm now reworking that R65 into a competition desert rally bike.

I also have a relatively stock 1977 R100RS (for the purists out there)

What can I say... I like vintage BMWs

Nice '77. We have one too albeit with a 1050 kit and cam. I'm building a boxer right now with a DRZ400 front end, too.

Nice to see another Norton P11 being used on the road! The first bike on the left, bottom picture.

Bowen,
Yes, the end of that daily stop was in Anamosa IA.(National Motorcycle Museum). The next "leg" was from Cedar Rapids to Spirit Lake.
I would guess there were 200 bikes (1929) or older in the Rally. steve

Those prewar 20s/30s bikes are beautiful. If ever I come into money, I'm going to buy a Black Douglas (modern-built motorcycles to a 30s design and mechanics http://theblackdouglas.com/motorcycles/ ) as a regular runner, but I'd love to rebuild an original.

Been through a couple of bikes in the past several years, trying to get just the right one, including a Royal Enfield and a Guzzi Racer. I'll post pics of both here. But the bike I've ended up with is a 2017 Triumph Bonneville "Bobber." Yes, no such thing as a factory bobber, I agree. But I like the bike, and first thing I did was take off the airbox/side panels embossed with "bobber," which makes me feel a bit better. Next up for mods, fenders and lights... [Well, Guzzi pics won't load...]

I think Triumph made a clever move with the Bobbers; a style of bike that competes in the market for folks who are influenced by the Harley style but don't feel any need to "buy American". Money no object, I certainly would consider one.

This thread seems to have been dormant for a while so here’s my recent contribution.
1976 BMW R90/6 w 42k on it.
Please note this is the before pic as I will be making some changes to it over the winter.

Some pics of my Lambrettas. From top to bottom 1st up is my 1968 manufactured SX200. One of the last ones made before they replaced them with the new model GP (DL)200. custom restored to my colour spec over the winter of 1997/98, and engine upgraded to a tuned 225cc.

Love those old vespas . I had a chance not long ago to buy a mint 1959 Black one but didn’t have the scratch at the time.

Well looks like I won’t be participating in the build so I won’t see the bike until March or April .
Here’s a recent pic without cheesy fairing.
