Where I started...

I got my first bike as a teenager, and my first BMW just out of High School in 1972. It was a 1966 R60/2, and it took every penny I had. My mom was aghast that I spent so much money on a motorcycle without a sidestand. Every summer I took off on my bike and travelled all over the Western United States.

In 1980 I started restoring my R60— the battery had boiled over and marred the fender but the tank was beautiful, and I wanted the rest of the bike to match. I sold it in 1984, and now am sorry I did. I tackled various other projects— 1968 R69s, a 1954 R68 and a 1954 R25/3, and have been hooked on vintage restorations ever since.
