if by "interesting" you mean "ugly, Euro-chopper aberrations", then yeah, sure.

Ride Safe, Ride Lots
Finally doing some shakedown rides after the long slumber this bike has been in. Trying to roll the odometer to 21K this week.
did a ride w/out the sidecases which were not on the bike when I rescued it...bolted them on to see if it works for me. The Windjammer is def not going back on.

The previous days first ride past my gate since this 74 75/6 got a new start after many many years of sitting in the barn.

Looks very close to mine. What are you using for tires, and what is your tank bag?

Looks like you have a Havana Gold color on your R75/7. I am just finishing up another one like yours. It had been in storage for 20+ years.

This is the before picture. The bike's in the middle of a refresh. New coat of paint and some other goodies. I'm going outside the BMW box on the paint :-)
Sun came out on a Friday afternoon in the PNW, so I played a lil hooky from work, finished bleeding the front brakes, slapped the plates on and took her out for the first spin after the rebuild.....loved the sensation when you hit the gas and your butt presses back into the cafe seat pocket...this baby is fun to ride!!
