Re: Staying Logged In?

I've had lots of trouble with it, too. I had a long post drafted last week with a few photos, then hit preview and it went to the login required page. I had to login and start the post over again.

Fathers Day ride

I had such a great ride today. I headed west from home towards Farmville, a nice college town, for lunch. It's a good destination because I can get there mostly on narrow, no-painted-lines backroads, and maybe see a dozen other vehicles. Just how I like it. The bike was running so well and is such a...

Re: Carb slide top nut loose

To close this out: Thanks to Vech my carb nut issue appears to be solved, the o-ring was the fix. I installed the o-ring, cleaned all the grimy threads really well, then coated them with a little grease as suggested by the Barrington book. No movement over a 25 mile test ride so I'm calling it fixed...

Re: Photos: MOA Rally Thursday, June 8

Great day at the rally on Thursday. Excellent exhibit of vintage bikes as the central focus of the big hall, good job VBMWMO! Some photos of the pre-70s bikes at this link, mostly the singles, there weren't many outside of the vintage exhibit. The weathered R27 outside is mine, a nice 200-mile round...

Re: Carb slide top nut loose

There is no o ring. I don't think there is supposed to be one according to the parts diagram on Max BMW and the Bing book. It's a Bing 1/26/83, type 122. If there's an o ring that'll fit it'd probably add enough tension to stop the loosening. Anyone have a parts number or source? I have a new nut on...

Carb slide top nut loose

Hey all - On my last ride, the carb slide top nut (the knurled round nut) on my R27 kept coming loose. I had to reach down at every stop and hand-tighten it back up, and eventually wrapped duct tape around it to keep it in place. Is this common? If so, is there a simple fix? Will loctite on the thre...

Photos: MOA Rally Thursday, June 8

Are there any planned VBMWMO gatherings tomorrow (Thursday) at the MOA Rally? Anyone want to meet for lunch onsite? I'm riding my R27 up just for the day, and will probably only be there from about 9 until early afternoon. Feel free to call or text 910-574-0376, or email pmtremblay at gmail. Patrick

Another year on an R27

Last May I rode a freshly recommissioned R27 on a Motogiro, a spirited 300 miles over two days through mountainous back roads. I wrote about it on this forum (https://vintagebmw.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=17519), and in the Summer 2022 VBMWMO magazine. The bike had only been on the road for a...

Re: Rolling Rally to the MOA Rally schedule posted!!

Hi - the only day I'm going to make the rally is Thursday, June 8. Will there be a spot the Vintage guys will be congregating? Anyone want to meet for lunch? It's a super busy weekend at home, but I have the day free to ride the R27 up from south of Richmond. 910-574-0376 text or call, or pmtremblay...
