BMW logos r us

Stu reminded me we have BMW tire valve caps. ;). At least we don’t have clothing with their logo!

Oil pan, oil filter, oil...oh my

A Saturday to remember, nice weather, clear skies, garage doors wide open and big progress on the bike.   The rejuvenation work is going from the back of the bike to the front ;).  The rear is done...now comes the middle part. So today the oil drain pan, oil filter and oil were done.  Clutch was adjusted.  Right side crash bar reattached.  Instrument cluster reinstalled.   And as usual, I close with a photo of the cutest dog in the world.

Rear brake shoes and tire

A banner day here in Scottsdale....rear brake shoes arrived and installed.  Rear tire on!

The bath of the oil pan

Every 29 years, whether it needs it or not ;).  Actually the pan looked fine with just an accumulation of black silt on the bottom.

Nov 21-rear seals and oil filters

Progress continues...parts are dribbling in.   Today was bevel drive seal installation day (rear wheel area) and the start of the removal of oil pan and related oil systems.   Lots of excitement removing the oil filter cover...involving heat guns, chemicals, hammers and chisels and brute strength ;).

Nov 2019 and a new family member arrives

This month, a 1991 BMW R100R joined our motorcycle family.    Stu bought this bike new, and in 1998, sold it to our neighbor.   And it sat in the neighbor’s garage until this month.  In the 21 years the neighbor owned it, he put on 4000 miles.  He recently passed away, Stu offered to help his wife sell it...and after looking at it, he decided we needed to bring it back to life again.  So we are up to six bikes again ;)

Alas, the passing years have caused age related degradation, along with some other issues, so Stu is in the middle of a stem to stern renovation.   Right now the rear tires, brakes, seals, oils etc are in process.

Long lost photos of us and various motorcycles

Stu found these on his computer and I wanted to post them, since they are motorcycle trip related.  Time frame estimate 2005-2008 maybe?
