Told you I'd get to the motorcycles!! This is my latest ride: a 1973 BMW R75/5 - my first Bimmer "Airhead". I had been off bikes for over six years after I cracked up a 500 Interceptor at speed. Three knee operations later - and many hours of hard work getting my right leg back to 100% - I decided it was time to get back in the saddle again.
Hyper velocity? Nope. Flashy Styling? Nope. All the bells and whistles? Hardly. But there's something about riding an old Airhead that's hard to describe. Maybe I'll find the words someday...
