Here it is: My 1981 BMW r65. Originally named Blue Steel, but also known affectionately as Ol' Blue. As the later name suggests, the bike has been well used, but it runs well, and has a lot of sentimental value.
In 2006, my dad was diagnosed with lymphoma and underwent major surgery on his pancreas and endured many months of chemotherapy. He decided life was short, and bought himself a new motorcycle, and gave me Ol' Blue.
The photo on the top is Ol' Blue all packed up for a trip to the airport, and the one on the right is him all stripped down and ready to have his electrics worked on.

Huii, looks great with a Windjammer-Fairing. I'm riding a 1979 BMW R65 with a Glaeser-Fairing. It's a lot of fun - look for Pix at my blog at grdigital.blogger.de.
Best Regards,
Marco
