BMW R-Series description
|
Offered for sale is this very complete and original 1955 BMW R50 twin, ready for restoration. The early Earles fork bikes are a very special blend of the R51, R67 & R68 bikes that came before them, along with the more robust frame and fork that went with the new styling. This is a matching engine/frame/frame ID tag bike with matching title, ready to transfer into the new owners name. This bike has virtually all the unique 1st year/early features that make it so special: · * One year only aluminum rims and hubs with early style bearing retainers · * Early rear fender with small tail light holes · * Original Eber small tail light * O* Early front fender with no center brace · * Early plunger-style Knecht air filter · * Small battery tray · * 32/11 rear drive in un-vented case · * Small headlight brackets · * Dished headlight with early speedo In addition, the original solo seat "T" bar bracket and rear fender rack are there. The original early Bing carbs are there, along with the early style front shocks with rounded edges. The trans was opened for inspection and found to be in excellent condition inside. There are no reproduction parts on this bike. I had planned to restore this bike and mount an R68 style ISDT exhaust on it, but those plans have changed. Please ask all questions before bidding, and have your finances lined up too. Payment is expected with 7 days of auction end, and the bike should be picked up/shipped within one month of auction end (negotiable - but let me know what you have in mind before bidding). Overseas sales are welcome, but I cannot help with shipping quotes. Personal checks are fine, but this will delay pickup/shipment. Paypal payment ONLY if you agree to use the Friends and Family option (which has no fees for either of us if you are paying from a checking account or Paypal balance). Good luck! Note: I can deliver this bike to the AMCA National at Rhinebeck NY on July 2nd, or the BMWMOA rally in Buffalo NY on July 17th for no charge if that is of interest. |

BMW Offers Education in Adventure
Wed, 31 Dec 2008I was never a fan of mathematics in high school. This would be of no surprise to any of my teachers or parents, I assure you. My justification was that none of my instructors could explain the practical applications for such numerical oddities as logarithms, permutations, or binomial theorem.
