    1975 BMW R90/6 - Rocinante

    Thank you! I've heard that adversity builds character... thought I was enough of a character already! The shop is coming, it'll never be a headliner at The Garage Journal. To this point it's been workable but like trying to put 10# of potatoes into a 5# bag. Since everything had to be moved...

    1975 BMW R90/6 - Rocinante

    It's been an interesting year. We got back from spending last winter in the South and everything went down the tubes, and any and all riding along w/ it! It started w/ a scheduled annual visit w/ the vascular doc and we knew he was planning to schedule bypass surgeries for aneurysms behind my...

    It looks like it has had a well-loved life.

    1975 BMW R90/6 - Rocinante

    Wow, that's nice! Do you think that really is 15,501km or is it 115,501km? It might not be the most aggressive bike but it'll hold it's own during the sporty times and would faithfully take you anywhere you want to go in Europe, day after day, km after km. Have a small problem? Fix it at the...

    Tyrrell p34 mini

    You're gettin' pretty good at that. Seems like faster, too... maybe that's my imagination.

    1978 1T5 Yamaha XS750 SuperSport - repair, rebuild and fun log.

    Thank you for that. The BMW is finished... as much as any of our projects are actually "finished," right? At this point I'm not sure what I'd need for parts as most of what I've added have been accessories and targets of opportinity rather than an item I was actually searching for. What a...

    1978 1T5 Yamaha XS750 SuperSport - repair, rebuild and fun log.

    Everybody is busy but I know, personally, that it's nice to get feedback. There have been a few times over the years when i would have welcomed criticism or even condemnation over nothing at all! Thank you for your comment on the airhead. When I got the chance to get it I thought it was a...

    1978 1T5 Yamaha XS750 SuperSport - repair, rebuild and fun log.

    I'm glad you are doing what YOU like and want. If the spoke wheels are what will make you love your bike even more that's what you should have. I'm really happy to see you found what you want. I can very much identify with your search and selection because I went through the same thing when...

    1978 1T5 Yamaha XS750 SuperSport - repair, rebuild and fun log.

    I can understand thinking about just clear coating over what you had. That really wasn't bad looking. I am sure you made the right choice, though.

    Ontario custom small motorcycle builder seeking guidance on customer registration

    Thought I'd hop in w/ my $0.02 worth. I live in Ohio and here it's relatively easy. as @Tim said. I grew up in Pennsylvania and near New York and those states make things very difficult. Sometimes it's easiest there to get a friend in another state to title and register and then "sell" it to...

    Nicely done! There's probably no such thing as too many photos on DTT!

    You'll be back terrorizing Augusta in no time and it'll be running better than ever.

    Guess JB Weld is out in this case. Funny, I thought about this bike just the other day and wondered how it was doing for you.

    Restoration of a 74 RD350

    I hear what you're saying... just hang in there and keep on plugging away. I'm ashamed to say that my Honda 360 project took ten years! I was still working at the time but that was way too long. I did the BMW after i retired and got it out in around two years. You're doing great and what...
