After having 2 mates drive me, my dog, the Honda in a trailer down to western Sydney then up to lower Blue Mountains the Beemer is here. We got back at sunset last night.
I had left my phone at home so could not take photos.
So here is the R80RT as of this morning. Sans the panniers and their frames. I had to do something to it last night.
So this was once a barn door faired RT. The VIN number says it was.
It has not been ridden for sometime by the previous owner. The battery in it is dead. I got enough charge into that battery over night that the engine has turned over once. I am charging up another battery I have to see if I can get the engine to really turn over before i buy a new battery.
The plan for this bike. Street Tracker. Firstly though is to get it registered again. Then ride it on The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride end of next month.
After all this it can morph into the Street Tracker I have in my mind.
