Friend Patrick had to sell both his aircooled toys-the 1971 911T Sportomatic and his BMW bike -when he moved from the US to Belgium a few years back . A lack of off street parking and the high cost of classic 911s in Europe has prevented him getting another early 911 but he has just bought a R80R BMW which he is drooling over .It has been used as a daily "driver" for many years and needs a bit of cosmetic work and a good service but it looks a pretty neat machine for racing between cafes in Brussels. Its not an early 911 but under the circumstances I'm sure for Patrick it's a passable substitute.
Nice. I had a few BMW boxer twins in my past life and seeing this one makes me long for my old R90/6.
