So, Let the Adventure Begin! RFAR and Gertie
Ok,you have to start somewhere. This is the skeleton of "Gertie". The will be my trusty steed, a Classic BMW 750/7 Twin Roadster. "Simple by Design" and "Humanity in Motion" are my motto's.
I am rebuilding and reworking all the major components of this fine motorcycle. It was new in 1977 has a touring fairing and saddle bags. The bike is easy to manage and has a 300 mile range and have proven to be on of the most reliable of all motorcycles. Some of these bikes have been clocked to over 350,000 miles.
I have checked all the major subsystems and have replaced or repaired any item that is in question. I am currently repainting the frame, subframe and drive assemblies. I will begin to reassemble the bike this month and am goaling myself to have it ready for a spring road test in April.
I make my initial proposal for support to the 1st City Rotary Club Board of Directors tomarrow evening.
