Good so far Alex. Did a good stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia and North Carolina last month. Past week I was in the Adirondaks in northern NY. Beautiful roads and country, except it has a lot military jets doing low level flights. Ugh. but both rides on my RS. Still purring like a kitten at 100+k I am off to Vermont[GS] next month and NE Pennsylvania in Sept. will try to put up some favorite shots for you and the rest of the registry. Cheers, Jim

Nick, My name is Jim Fisk and I am a member of the Registry also and I know how you feel. I know I don't posses half the skills you do as a mechanic, but I try to do as much as possible on my own. I live in the states, where I am fortunate enough to be able obtain parts for my machines. '65 R69S, '92 R100RS, and a '92 R100GS. And I am also the Maine Airhead airmarshall. And I am nominating you for the New Zealand airmarshall!!! Because you have faith in your”antique” also. Check out this site. If nothing else it keeps all of us “Airheads” in one common location. And if ya ever get to Maine, please DO call. Airheads rule!!!http://www.airheads.org/

We did put new roof on last year.and a new pump in the well last week. And I did redo all the electrical, plumbing,siding, and reglazed [puttied] the wooden sashes. And after 20 plus years I am still at it. Until the roads are free of the salt scourge!! Bad practice here in New England we have here to rid the ice and snow.

You are correct. We got off the thread. Here is one near Fruitlands, south of Alexandra, on SH 8.

I will snap some of the buildings in Maine and New England this summer. Some are REAL OLD. Like my house. But first I need to get rid of more of the white sh_t that fell on us this past Friday. As my wife likes to say, it makes me ugly to live with!!! The white sh_t that is.

in reply to: New BMW?????? #7120

Yes that is real cold Jim. But today I did ride. Temps about 18-20C and SUNNY!!!! Rode an older ['87] R80RT to my house that a friend from Vermont purchased. Pick it up next week. Our warmer weather is creeping in. Slowly. My wife likes it colder because then I work more on my honey do list. You know, honey do this, honey do that. Doesn't happen during riding season, which I try to do 365 days a year, when I am lucky.
