BMW R-Series description
The last year of the domestically sold airheads. This is my second Paris Dakar, 6th airhead GS (91-95), and the cleanest I have owned. I purchased the bike last April with 12,000 miles on the odometer for a cross-country trip. I put approximately 5,000 miles on the bike, and it served its purpose well. I believe I am the third owner. It runs great and has had a recent tune-up and brake service completed. I told myself that I will always own at least one, and since it is sitting next to a 94 bumble bee, one has to go. The reason for the PD was after my trip I learned that the large tank is simply a novelty that I personally don't need, and I am not too fond of the color scheme. It is definitely a bike for the purists. The bike is in great condition. It has minor wear on the tank where it meets the seat, other than that it is cosmetically very clean, mechanically sound, and ready to go anywhere. It truly is a beautiful bike that has been very well taken care of, always garaged, meticulously detailed, and started regularly, which is precisely the reason I need to sell it. I found myself in the same position as the previous owners, and simply want to keep it garaged. To my knowledge it has never been taken off-road. It runs great and has had a recent tune-up and brake service completed. It is all stock and ready to go anywhere, or be added to a collection. The bike comes with a set of new Touratech Bags that I purchased for the trip, and therefore are virtually new. I will also throw in a black seat cover to replace the hideous red seat. Since the bike is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Buyer is responsible for transporting fees.

Kevin Ash, one year on
Wed, 08 Jan 2014I’ve lost dozens of friends in bike racing over the years, and while each death was a shock and incredibly sad, I’ve always had some kind of internal coping mechanism that allowed me to carry on relatively unaffected. Maybe it’s because I was always extremely passionate and committed when taking part in my dangerous sport so was also prepared to pay the ultimate price should things go wrong. Rightly or wrongly I’ve taken comfort from the fact that these unfortunate racers have checked out while doing something they love. I’ve also lost a few journalist friends in bike accidents over the years but for some reason these have hit me harder. The worst and possibly as it is the most recent is Kevin Ash who was killed last January while on a BMW launch in South Africa. Starting in 2001, over a period of ten years, I was in Kevin’s company on countless new bike launches in pretty much every corner of the world. At times he was cocky and occasionally irritating but always entertaining with a wicked sense of humour. He was many things but no one can deny he was a brilliant journalist and his technical knowledge was second to none. I always appreciated his complete enthusiasm to all things biking as he would ride through any weather on a daily basis to jobs or airports and seemed to always be tinkering with winter projects (mainly Ducatis) at home. I also admired how much work he got through as he had columns in more than one weekly publication plus all his launch and web work. He was a competent safe rider who was certainly quick enough to evaluate any new bike thrown his way. Kevin also drove a Porsche but then none of us are perfect! I looked to Kevin as a wise Owl so not long after I started working with TWO/ Visordown, I asked him on an R1 launch in Australia he thought the motorcycle industry was currently in a good place. His reply was, ‘we’ve just been flown here business class, been taken by speed boat to our five star hotel under Sydney Harbour Bridge, Yamaha have wined and dined us and furnished us with expensive gifts each day, what do you think Niall? How times have changed. On the subject on air travel he once told me, ‘when travelling business or first class it’s not about the pampering, comfy beds or fine dining, the important part is looking smug as you walk straight past all the people lining up at the cattle class check in! On more than one occasion I had food or drink spurt out when Kevin would deliver unexpected one line funnies at the dinner table.
