New Member in Alabama

[bwalker57]

New member currently in Huntsville Alabama. I'll just sit in the back an be quiet. There are so many talented restorers here, I hope to learn some things. I'd classify my self a a apprentice parts replacer. The whole - start from a pile of parts and build a motorcycle out of it - seems like some sort of sorcery to me. I've been a rider all my life, predominately on BMWs. I once had a R60/2 and hope to have another one some day. Currently have a R1250GS, T120 Bonneville, Vespa LXV and a recently acquired and unrestored 1973 R75/5. I'm hoping to retire in the Spring and maybe dive into a restoration of something interesting then.

Welcome to the forum, and nice R75. I have a couple BMWs around to mess with the American stuff. Brit stuff too. My old 1980 R100RS has been here a long time. My '55 R69 was a rough basket back when that meant cheap!
