Cleaned the garage out so took the opportunity to get a photo of the two MB specials.

Nice photos Colin,
Your care for the machines hide the use they do get.
When servicing the special this week,both myself and Charlie commented on how good it looked despite it’s 2.5k miles of hard use plus a crash that never happened.:hide

You all have the super models and I seem to have ended up with the fat bird :)

Is that Phil aka Boxerman's (or as my wife called him, Dangermouse) old bike.

Not this one. I've had it 14 years - came from Germany (I changed the headlight to UK dip and the speedo to a mph one; so full UK spec.)

I took it to him to have the seals changed as it's getting on for 25 years old; but one thing leads to another. Nearly got a tear in my eye when I went to see it last week :)

There is another the same as mine with Mike and Charlie. It may be that one.
 
Heh Wilbjr, are you keeping the Pulse Air System on the PD? It can be plugged and left in place which is what you might be doing but some like me just remove the whole thing out of fear that it can Heat up exhaust valve side?

Thank you Mr. Murr. I hadn't given any thought to this at all. But now that you mention it I'll have a word with Mike after the holidays. Thank you for the advice.

The bike has only done 17,000 miles as I only use it when it's nice outside, but I'm thinking of taking it to Berlin next year to have a tour of the BMW factory.

The other one’s actually mine. I bought it back from Canada when we returned to the UK and Mike’s brought it back to life after a few years languishing in disrepair in Spain (long story). I’m off to fetch it back from Mike tomorrow :)
