Bmw r60 us

In 68-69 BMW was having trouble selling that stodgy old R60/2 with the heavy Earles Forks. So they started upgrading. The first and most obvious change was the "new" telescoping forks. They became the basis of the yet to be introduced /5 series of bikes. The bike was designated the R60 US. They only made 1400 or so of them. The bikes still were heavy and underpowered. No oil filter. Heavy flywheel. Kixstart. All that changed with the /5 bikes. The rest is history.

Garden State TOR game get too tough for you, Rob? Tagging and getting road signs in the sticks doesn't seem too challenging, other then the long rides in the heat!

That's just a trick to keep the douchie types away. It's hard for them to understand the curvy road, lite traffic, and views it took to get there.

I love curvy roads, lite traffic, etc. Just seems pretty lazy to tag a road sign. Even if you have some really cool old BMWs in your stable. And when one's paradigm is challenged, it is pretty lame to start calling names. Make a decent argument, why don'tcha?
