Looks like I’m joining the Airhead Club

Going to collect this on Wednesday, vetted for me by an extremely helpful and competent northern gentleman of this parish.

Looking forward to spending time doing a sensible restoration, doesn’t seem to need much work though

Well, I’m old and have a beard so I guess it was only a matter of time

Nice clean looking bike, what is the tank like under the cover?

Oh well done!! Enjoy, it looks lovely.

Looks nice, don’t see any need to do anything to that apart from add petrol and lots of miles.

Enjoy it.

My first BMW was like that, but red ( H91BMY where are you now?)

The best airhead in the best colour. Nothing to restore there just ride, cracking bike.

Let me get comfortable with a big bowl of popcorn .. 'Best Airhead' ... and ... go ...

(it is a good looking bike, BTW .. hope you get tons of enjoyment out of it .. I have zero regrets since acquiring my airhead earlier this year)

I’ve had mine for 34 years. Many bikes have come and gone over the years and some are still here. We’ve recently returned from a 1000 mile jaunt in the Pyrenees with a friend on a 1200 and concluded that Flossie as she is affectionately known is all the bike we need going forward.


Hope you enjoy yours and get lots of miles under her tyres.

They really are fabulous machines, aren't they? How many miles has Flossie covered?

Best airhead?
The answer is whichever one is currently sitting in your garage!
( so in my case, it’s my R80st-g/s-GS hybrid. Long way from original, but I love her)

Speak for yersel!

Speak for yersel!

I was - and certainly not for you!

 

[dicktheleg]

Picked it up today, long drive (470 miles return). I’m very happy with my purchase, loads of documentation, service records and invoices, original bill of sale and old Mot's.

Starts and runs nicely too.

Seems a nice genuine bike.

I’ll know more when I give it a test run.

 

[timeandtide]

Looks a great bike . . . and the best colour!

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

Good result

Nice colour choices .. looks very purposeful and really suits the lines
