Goodbye To Zenaida

Post by San Arthur »

Zenaida will stay in Chris shop in Alpine, there is no point in towing her for the next week. Chis will fix and take care of her.

I'm back in the BSR!

I was asked: Do you want to borrow Chris R60US?
Image

YES!

The original plan was for me and my wife to share her bike in case Zenaida failed. Not any more, she changed her mind, she is having a blast. Thanks to Chris and to Allan for this kind offer.

R60US

Post by San Arthur »

I'm impressed with how smooth the R60US is. This is my first time on a 60's BMW.
The torque is out of this world. It needs a little getting use to the telescopic forks, I feel I'm flying over the light bucket every time I brake. But it is so much easier to turn then my Earl's forks.
I'm still perfecting the cold and warm starting procedures.
Image

Is a beautiful night in the Chisos Basin!

Perfect for working on the bikes, everybody but me and my wife. The R60US needs no chain adjustment for one, and I could go on and on, but I don't want to be rude to my hosts.

The R60US will get gas, check the oil level, tires and that is it!

Saludos

The Big Bend ride

Post by San Arthur »

I have a passion for the 1960's R BMW's, specially the R50.
After this trip, my wife interest is on the British rigid frame bikes and she will start looking for one.

Image

The group of the 15th BSR.
Image

It was hot in the Big Bend, 98F! Perfect for a cold watermelon.
Image

As soon as we got to Marathon I took the R60US back to Alpine. There was no traffic, just me and the twin. 62 Mph seems to be the perfect speed for this altitude.
Image

Safe and sound at Chris' shop. He modify BMWs for serious off road riding.
