My son is driving one of these (not as nice as this one, tho). Quite a resemblance.

[Riley]

LOL! What game is that gif from?

[HandyDandy]

That is interesting. I ended up on a ‘72 BMW R60/5. Of course this was well before the Internet (duh) but I somehow came across a photo of Pakistani police, lined up about 20 abreast, but they were all on my exact motorcycle! I later learned that mine was indeed a police bike.

Eh, all around Teh Intarwebz. < |:)~

Lawrence, who owned eight of them

How did riding on that British engineering work out for Lawrence?

[HandyDandy]

I believe the expression was “died instantly”.

[umgud]

Didn’t see that, but would like to have.

[wally_bert]

It’s a great episode.

Thanks for the ping! :-)

(I must be on the “list” now! LOL!

[umgud]

Yeah, but it wouldn’t start.

What is being driven on the lower front frame?

[CrazyIvan]

I helped move the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa Iowa several years ago. I was responsible for loading, securing and unloading several of these (and some Vincents). I think I sweat a gallon I was so nervous!

Oooohhh YEAHHHHHH.............

You KNOW what I like! :-)

“I notice the Prince of Darkness handled the lighting system.”

I guess you shouldn’t ride it at night.

[FreedomPoster]

I need to get over there and see that.

If your first trip to the Barber Museum, you must plan a full day to be there - otherwise you will leave feeling you had to miss a lot. Two days is best. Then you can take your time.

Even my non-technical/non-mechanical/non-biker (she does love riding behind me) wife loved the museum because of so much unusual stuff.

I thought I knew a lot about motorcycles - until I went there. Wife asked me every 5 minutes, “What is that?” To which I had to reply, “I have no idea.....” The collection is mind-boggling. I’d say 1/4 of the bikes there I never knew existed. V-12? Yeah, Kawasaki made one. Year of first motorcycle? No. 1857. And so on......

Best way to go is with another biker friend - or two. I really want to go back.

[HandyDandy]

Possibly a starter motor?

Mark read later.

Thanks for the heads up on that. Hmmm, my vet just bought a BMW R1200GS; he might be the guy.
