1958 BMW R60
I'm the third owner of this 1958 BMW R60 and it's been in my collection for years. When I purchased it, it had a Ural sidecar on it, I put the MZ sidecar on it about a year ago. The bike has always started on the first or second kick.  It's been started monthly and taken out for a two-three mile ride each time.  I have run it without a battery,  and the magneto has always held it's charge. 

I was told the mileage was correct when I purchased it.  The speedometer has always worked and I believe the mileage is correct. The bike is complete and original, and is in very good condition.   

1969 MZ Sidecar
MZ (Motorradwerk Zschopau) sidecars are a quality made Aluminum sidecar made in Germany.  This one is in very good condition with minor scratches but no dents. It's frame design and light weight aluminum body pairs up well on the old BMW's. It has a battery tray mount to hold a larger battery and a drum brake system. The brake system will need to be flushed and cleaned to get it working. All sidecar attachments are installed and included. The top sidecar mounting bolt works, but is not the correct bolt.   

This is a no reserve auction so please look at all the pictures and ask any questions before you bid. The bike is available for showing by appointment before the auction ends.

Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs. The bike is sold as-is with no warranty offered or implied. A $500 non refundable PayPal deposit is due within 48 hours from the end of the auction and full payment is due within 7 days from the end of the auction.

AMA Superbike: 2012 Daytona Results

Tue, 20 Mar 2012

Josh Hayes and Blake Young picked things up where they left off by trading wins at the 2012 season-opening AMA Superbike round at Daytona International Speedway. Reigning champion Hayes of Monster Energy Graves Yamaha took the first race handily, leading almost right from the start of the 15-lap race for the win. Yoshimura Suzuki’s Young, who finished second to Hayes in the 2011 AMA Superbike Championship, responded by taking the second race, but only by a slim 0.002-second margin.

Thumbs up for a chilly N.E.C.

Wed, 08 Dec 2010

Apart from the freaky weather I have to say last week’s Carole Nash Motorcycle Live N.E.C. show was the best Birmingham event I've attended in the ten years. I really appreciate the fact that manufacturers chose to ignore the recession giving us great stands to cater for every enthusiast young and old.  Aprilia made a welcome return and I don’t know anyone that didn’t enjoy admiring the WSB RSV4, surely the the most gorgeous bike on the planet? The Honda stand rarely disappoints and this year was no exception with banking bikes providing fun for all the family.

BMW C650GT and C600 Sport Recalled for Faulty Timing Chain Tensioner

BMW has initiated a recall on 2012-2014 C600 Sport and C650GT scooters because of a problem with their timing chain tensioners. As of this writing, recalls have been announced in Canada and Germany but not for the U.S., though we expect the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will announce a similar recall shortly.
