I have owned a lot of Beemers over the years but never a /2. Last year I sold a 60th anniversary edition R100RT because (at the time having lost my job) I couldn't justify 3 motorcycles to my wife :)

Probably easier than dealing with three wives and one motorcycle, though.

Now my only Beemer is a K75C in perfect stock condition that I commute on. I also have a Yamaha RZ350 2-stroke street bike that I am having my midlife crisis on. Maybe if/when I ever retire and have more time I will think about an old Beemer again. I've been to quite a few rallies and drooled on the /2 restorations.

That probably cost them a couple of points on the judging for their paint jobs. Hope you missed the tank pinstriping!

Three wives and one motorcycle...that is a scary thought.

A lot of the restored old bikes were found in a barn or even in a field and just had to be restored...they were frozen up rust buckets. I don't take off any points for a great restoration. Of course, a person lucky enough to own a really old bike that still looks like original new has a lot of bragging rights.
