Fancy owning a BMW GS and not qualifying as an airhead or a shaftie. I'll take my F800 elsewhere, then!
Yehhh whatever, any chaindrive "do" will do for a chinky bike

So any make of bike as long as it's air cooled but no other GS riders allowed?

No. you are not quite correct..........
Requirements are >>
Shaft drive.
Aircooled Horizontally opposed twin.
BMW or a derivative eg URAL Dneiper. etc.
Guzzis cos them are just Beemers with Pert Boobies
Mainly because it's a workshop meeting, we need to be able to repair these antique motorcycles without computers cos there's no place to plug one into..
Also they have C A R B U R E T T O R S not new fangled injectors..
Also be whipping a g/box off and other easy [ when you know how ] jobs..
No use at all to you computerised modern GS riders
{ I KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT OILHEAD OR CHAINGANG BMW's { apart from what oil}so it's a waste of time asking me..
BUT I've had Airheads on the road since 1972}
Space is at a premium and this is the first such event, lets see how this goes and maybe next year try and educate you MODERN GS riders into the intricacies of the old school BEEMERS
If it's that important to you, borrow or buy a cheap airhead of Fleabay and we'll be glad to see you
You can even Van or Trailer it down, as long as you have one in your company ....
Maybe they saw it advertised elsewhere
Is that R80 ST?
Sid
Is there another type of ST airhead then?
she could also do with having the push rod tubes and seals changed, I could bring them along if someone fancies showing me how to do it?
You really do deserve your Smilie ya wa nker
That is exactly the response we need
Yup I'll show you, and you can do a set of mine then
You want Stainless tubes or normal ??
I'll get the orders in soon to Sherlocks
mines dripping petrol on my painted garage floor
They all do that sir.

I will grab some stainless ones, what else do I need to order to do this job? I am guessing a top end gasket set, does that come with pushrod seals? and will one of the people going have a drift to knock them home, or do I need to buy one of those too?
Blimey you guys are brave
...pushrod tubes - biggish job ( ensure your exhaust headers are loosened up etc etc)
...full gasket set plus all ( three ) O rings each side and new gudgeon pin circlips ( X 2 ) plus new pushrod tubes......glad I'll be at the pub if I go !!!
Oh and a heat gun is a must !!
