"Back Together Again" less all the fairings and bags of course. After completely disassembling the BMW into eight million pieces, servicing every moving part, changing every drop of fluid in every mechanism, disassembling the carburetors numerous times cleaning and chasing every tiny port and passageway, replacing the missing parts with official BMW parts and adjusting each part to factory torque specifications…I finally got it together for a test ride…It looks and feels like a new one. It seems like the sitting in "Uncle Tio’s" barn and the 9,000 miles he put on it over 30 years ago didn’t hurt anything.
The 31-year-old R100RT “airhead” is such a sweet ride. Now to install all the fairings and bags and dream of that road trip to the mountains…all points north and west…maybe Alaska.
Thank you, Lord Jesus,
For all the blessings you send my way,
I do realize this one is just for play,
but I have to thank You anyway,
even when carburetors made me pray.
Amen.
