Maintenance machinist and long time bmw airhead guy. Just purchased an 84 r80 g/s that's been sitting outside here for the past twenty years. It began as a get run but quickly accelerated into a do over. Frame back from the powder coater, shock on the way back from ohlins, gearbox required a bit of love, rebuilding the final drive too.
Grew up in Oshkosh Wisconsin and moved to Sf from Milwaukee in 91 after being deployed in the first gulf War. Worked for Sandy Kosman for many years at Kosman racing in Sf, factory yamaha crew chief for Doug Henry in 04 in the first season of AMA supermoto. Keep coming back to old bmws as it is a pleasure for me to take them apart and put them back together. After I finish this g/s I have a r60/5 73 lwb Grenada red to put back together, then an 84 last edition CS100. Kind regards, Bill
