My new ride

I will soon be the proud owner of a 1972 BMW R75/5 motorcycle. This motorcycle has been in my family since about 1974 when my dad bought it. My mom had it in her garage for the past 10 or so years, and will soon be in mine.

There will be much work needed to be done. I figure at least the carbs need to be rebuilt, and all the rubber tubes on the air shocks will need to be replaced and of course new tires.

Once I get it down to Austin, I will get some pictures of it posted and keep y'all up to date as the work progresses.

See ya in the funny papers
