Here are a couple pictures of this really gorgeous bike. It is pure joy to drive. Click the thumbnail to see a larger image.

	Three-quarter front. It's so-called red, but if you know the color, you'll know it's more toward red-orange than the picture suggests.
	Right side. Since people have asked, the windscreen is a National and the trunk is a German after-market item. Other than that, it's a stock bike.

In the summer of 1995 I went up to Wisconsin Dells for a rally of BMW people. It was not big, as such rallies go, about 1400 bikes, and not all of them BMWs, but it was an easy-going crowd, and I adapt well to doing almost nothing except walking around and gawking at things.

I rode a fair amount in the summer of 1996, mostly near Madison, but almost every day that the weather permitted. In years immediately following I rode less, but now that I'm retired I look forward to every spring to getting on and going after another of Wisconsin's long winters.
