1953 R25 Advise for the Long Ride

Post by rockers »

I've had older BMWs in the past and decided to buy a R25 to participate in the 2022 Cross Country Chase- Route 66 in September. The ride will be about 2500 miles over 10 days or so.

I still have not picked the R25 up yet as Glenn at the Beemer Barn is checking it over. It has been previously upgraded by Barrington to a 12 volt system with electronic ignition. So to the Vintage guys familiar with singles, what spare parts would you carry along on a longer ride? Any suggestions would be appreciated and you can e-mail me at rockersbmw@gmail.com. I don't know why I'm asking this questions as the old ones are dependable. I rode a 1968 R60 to the Arctic Circle & back 40 years ago.

Thanks
Bob

I'd prefer to shut this one down so all the advice and discussions can be kept together.

Fast. Neat. Average. Friendly. Good. Good.
