Bike was a priority over my beat up 67 Chevy.

Re: [R90SWORLDNET] Cycle World Magazine
Four months later the right hand middle finger was once again working following micro surgery and the bones in my right hand and rib cage were pain free. Yep I was ready to buy another bike. As touring was my first love the BMW became my first and only choice. So on 5th July I placed a $20 deposit and on the 7th July 1976 I threw my leg over a brand new BMW R90S that was assembled five days before my accident. I gingerly, rather nervously rode back home covering a mere 20km. From the word go, I loved riding this bike. It was everything that I ever wanted from a motorbike. It has been used as ride to work transport, club runs, even raced in club events but foremost as a means to indulge in my first love, long or ultra-long distance touring. This month saw it pass 461,000klm.
And I have not regretted one single day riding it.

Wow. That's an impressive feat for both you and the R90S, though I suppose no one will be surprised by the latter's mileage. Built to last! And obviously, you recognized quality when you saw it.
My first Beemer was acquired around the same time, but as i was only in the market for a used bike, I got a '66 R69S. I rode that for years until deciding I needed something more powerful for the Colorado mountains, and got first, a R90/6 and then, my R90S. I love the R90, but also regret having parted with the R69S at a time when I was just wanting to declutter my garage.
