How's it going? And how do we post pics in here? I forgot.

Oh... I see now. I have to make them smaller!

Doh. And there's a quota? Wot?

Well, I guess it will have to be some other day for the completed Blueberry R65RS pics. :(

Hi Joan! You'll need to use a photo hosting site on the web and post the link here.

No, we can't have that. That won't do at all.

Get yourself a free photo hosting site - PictureTrail, Photobucket, Smugmug, TinyPic, etc

Joan, that is very pretty. Competent looking, too. Please tell more.

ps: I think the blue sleeping mat should be a permanent accessory.

Edit in response to your edit: Oo, nasty shit in tank.

What do you want to know?

I bought this bewdy R65 in 1997 for 1400 because it was the least expensive beemer I could find? ;)

The fairing from a salvage yard was added over the winter.

After filling up three Napa fuel filters on the trip, after returning I took the tank to Performance Radiator for acid etching and relining, and ordered a new petcock.
