time to let go

Post by twist »

hello everyone! Happy 4th of July!! I recently dropped my beloved Beemer and did a right nice job of smashing it up. There is a lot left in decent shape but the time has come to let it go. This engine runs like a scalded cat and pulls through all gears, Mikuni TM38's help. Much to much to list and besides, this isn't the for sale forum. I just wanted to give any of you who are in San Francisco or near a chance to pick up the whole mess. I also have a shit load of hoarded parts including braced frame and engine for 78 R100RS Motosport. Getting out and moving on to something newer. contact me here if any are interested

cheers

Sorry to hear that you have reached the end of the line with your beloved bike Twist.


I took this photo yesterday on my Iphone.
Maybe I took it for you.

Hmmm, maybe you could look at it as 'guidance through the foggy times ahead'

I am coming back to the forum from time to time, I still have a 78 R100RS Motosport in pieces in storage so I'm still technically an air head! Nothing rides like these old beemers, they make me smile. I just don't have the space to work on it and it kills me to look at it in this state after all the blood sweat and tears, (not to mention road rash). So, I'm still gathering parts for the RS and trying to put that mess together, Wish I could keep the crashed one for a donor bike. I am on the look out for a studio where I can work, but they are rare and expensive in this city.

Don't give up. Rebuild it again.....even better. That's why bikes are better than women.
You've got plenty of parts. You should see the the cramped quarters I work in.
