    Makes me wish my Dad kept his old R75. Some of them are going for stupid money nowadays......

    The R60 is what started my love of boxers but it really needed a disc brake :D

    I sent motorcycle protective services over to my dads house and am fostering this one. He still has (and rides) the 90s. Couple more years and he'll be to old to ride and i'll take that one and start restoring it.

    Nice. The one I used to ride around (60/5) has been mostly or totally restored and my buddy in Cincy still has it. Loved that bike - but now being larger I'd prefer the 100 :D

    I love this one. This came out of the Team Incomplete shop well over a decade ago (might be more like 20 years now). The guy who built it is interesting - this was his first attempt at a bike build, with a lot of help from friends.

    Some of my fondest memories was my old man plopping my brother on the back of his R75 and me (about 5 years old) in front of him with my feet on the cases, and him zipping up and down our long driveway in Cleveland......

    Neither my brother or I had on helmets, as was customary for kids in the 80's and prior.
