Wow, I am surprised that the headlight of this bike matches its body color. What motorcycle exhaust do you have in that motorcycle?

Any war time BMW bikes around here? Saharian or the like? Zundapp?I do have a few mostly older motorcycles, none American, but wouldn't mind a 50's Harley or Indian. Thinking I should get down to 6, just don't know what to sell. I had 12 so am working my way down. I have a '37 Rudge Special , '38 BMW R71, '51 BMW R51/3, '68 BMW R60/2, '72 Suzuki T500, '76 Yamaha XT500, '76 BMW R90S, '82 Honda CX500, '09 Suzuki SV650S. Probably the next old bike will be a 60's or 70's Moto Guzzi. Sort of an Italian BMW.
My favourite bike is the R60/2. Not fast or great handling, just a beautifully engineered machine. I recently sold a '70 Triumph Bonneville I restored, that I had owned for 18 years, that was like a Tonka toy compared to the BMW. The SV650S I have had from near new, simply a great handling, reasonably quick, economical, and totally reliable bike. Even the battery lasted for 9 years.
But really I think the world is well enough served by other vintage/classic motorcycle clubs and forums, to not need another being added to Aussiefrogs.
Always a place to visit in those long gone times when we were allowed to travel and almost in forum member Roger W's back yard. Found some good hardware and antiques there, and viewed the motor cycles of course Bob.Taylor's...

very interesting hardware/surplus style store, right on the highway, normal OLD TIME trading hours...
It was for sale a while back so it might pay to ring 'em first to see if bikes are still there.
