I had a 72 BMW R60/5. Loved it for about four years and 20K miles.

When the mrs and I first married in '76 I took income from my first Architectural job and bought it used. We took it up through Michigan to Ontario and Montreal, Quebec, bay of fundy and back down through Maine and Boston, then up to new Hampshire. and home through new York, pa Ohio and Indiana.

Did 4000 miles in two weeks with the two of us and an 80# army duffel. Changed the oil once and wore out a brand new rear tire.
