A nice reader ride “Wanderlust” BMW R100S

Bob Writes in:
Love the site, always one of the first I visit every morning with my coffee- kudos to you!
 But I thought I’d send in a pic of a barn-find I snagged last year.
It’s a 1977 BMW R100S in the hills by my house here in Colorado… and obviously, I dig it!
It’s my daily driver and after a fair amount of work (after sitting for years) it runs like a champ!
 Cheers! And keep up the good work!

Wow!  that is some “barn find”!  As a Florida native I get so jealous of you folks living in the hills.  Great stuff!

 

First Generation All original Yamaha XS650

You don’t see too many of these.  Right down to the drum brake!

 

Fun little 2 stroke tracker.

Man this looks like fun.

Triumph X75 Hurricane

These are hit and miss with a lot of folks. Especially the old school Triumph purists. I like them but admittedly they aren’t for everybody.

TX750 Yamaha – Cafe racer

Nice build. If I had $2k and I liked this engine more I’d go buy it. Clean and nothing over the top. For Sale Locally.  No I don’t know the bike or the owner.

A Nice Fathers Day ride on the Trusted DR Motard.

A Spectacular day n my old and faithful DR65 motard.  Even though Northeast Florida is no twisty  mecca with elevation changes we still have a few nice scenic loops here and there.  For my Fathers day getaway I took the river road (SR13) south from Jacksonville and cut over some wide open farmland through St Augustine and back up the coast road (A1a).  It’s actually a really nice 100 mile loop with plenty of places to stretch your legs along with some excellent eateries and watering holes along the way.  I really need to get out there more often.  It’s a LOT nicer than I generally give it credit for.  Anyway these were spur of the moment with an old camera phone.  Sorry about that.  Next time I’ll “show it off” a little better than this.  If you’re ever around Northeast Florida and want to go for a nice loop drop me a line and I’ll get you the routes.

 

And Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there.  I hope you got out for a ride!

 

 

 

 

A truly stunning Cafe’d 1972 Puch JC Penny Flyer moped.

Or maybe it’s more of a board track racer.  Either way, the pictures really don’t do it justice.  Whatever your tastes you can’t deny the work and imagination that went into this tiny cafe.  Very well done.
