1958 BMW R60
I'm the third owner of this 1958 BMW R60 and it's been in my collection for years. When I purchased it, it had a Ural sidecar on it, I put the MZ sidecar on it about a year ago. The bike has always started on the first or second kick.  It's been started monthly and taken out for a two-three mile ride each time.  I have run it without a battery,  and the magneto has always held it's charge. 

I was told the mileage was correct when I purchased it.  The speedometer has always worked and I believe the mileage is correct. The bike is complete and original, and is in very good condition.   

1969 MZ Sidecar
MZ (Motorradwerk Zschopau) sidecars are a quality made Aluminum sidecar made in Germany.  This one is in very good condition with minor scratches but no dents. It's frame design and light weight aluminum body pairs up well on the old BMW's. It has a battery tray mount to hold a larger battery and a drum brake system. The brake system will need to be flushed and cleaned to get it working. All sidecar attachments are installed and included. The top sidecar mounting bolt works, but is not the correct bolt.   

This is a no reserve auction so please look at all the pictures and ask any questions before you bid. The bike is available for showing by appointment before the auction ends.

Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs. The bike is sold as-is with no warranty offered or implied. A $500 non refundable PayPal deposit is due within 48 hours from the end of the auction and full payment is due within 7 days from the end of the auction.

BMW 1000RR and the Honda C70, are they indestructible?

Wed, 20 Apr 2011

I’ve managed 1374 miles on the Michelin Power Pures (mostly on track) and although we’ve had some decent temperatures they still look like new so there’s plenty meat left for another month at least. I’ve been running them at 30psi front and 32psi rear and find they warm up after a few miles but I wouldn’t say the temperature comes any quicker than any of the competition so it has to be four miles before I get brave. I’ve had a few out the seat moments with my BMW but I have got the rear suspension  set pretty hard (8 rebound,8 compression, two turns on pre load) and in slick mode, so 190bhp in first gear at the Knockhill hairpin is always going to be dodgy.

Epic biking holidays - of a lifetime?

Mon, 31 Jan 2011

I never had the rudimentary gap year traveling before university, seeing it as a bit of a cliché I set upon knuckling down with my studies and getting a degree. I never had that moment of discovery and finding out 'who I really am' and to some extent it's a regret. But I'm feeling inspired and the inspiration comes from two adventures offered by Compass Expeditions.
