Well it didn’t take very long after all. I was expecting it to take most of the summer. I considered a few different bikes and this one was by far the best fit for me. The previous owner took excellent care of it and Now it’s all mine. This is a great kick-off to Summer for me.
I’ve been glued to the shop manual and trying to figure out all of the details of maintaining a BMW. Seems pretty straight forward and I’m actually looking forward to working on it. Valve adjustments look like a piece of cake on the boxer motor. Oil changes are incredibly simple too.
I’ll be either adding a new blog or just changing this one a little bit. But I’d like to keep up the Hawk stuff for sentimental reasons. I may just keep it the same and change the flavor a little.

BMW’s not my thing, but yours looks sweet! Hope you enjoy!
Hey, that is a great compromise between sport and touring. My ex-father in law rode a BMW all over the place and put more than a million miles on his. He claimed that there was no better machine on the planet. Now, I don’t know about that but I think you made a wise choice here. “ThrottleMeister” lol. Looks like fun. Now we wanna see it in action.
Thanks Mrs. Road Captain. I’m pretty psyched about it.
FLHX_Dave: That’s what I hear about BMW is that they can go hundreds of thousands of miles on them. Wow a million miles!!! He must have one hard ass. I’m planning on taking some cool trips this Summer. I’m looking forward to it.
Well…he retired and that’s pretty much all he did. He saw everything.
If you ever wanna go someplace let me know. I might be able to find a way to scoot along with you.
