Hello friends, you all have a wonderful 4th of July holiday! We are very proud to be (new) Americans and living in one of the nicest place in the world. But we all need to remind ourselves every day, how much we have to value our freedom and way of life and never forget the price many paid - so we can live it. Karl & Patricia Volger P.S. The German toy and trailer are for sale - but not the G-mobile.... (IMG_2188.JPG) Attachments ----------------  IMG_2188.JPG (124KB - 13 downloads) | |

That was a really fun bike to toss around. I sometimes miss it. I replaced it with a K1200R. BTW, your trailer is pretty rare in europe and rarer than hens teeth in the states. To change the subject ... if you were satisfied with the rear gear work that you had done on your G-wagen, can you shoot me a PM with the shop name/contact? Many thanks. Martin Thanks Martin for your comments, it's "her" bike..........but she's rather drives the G-wagen! I'm very happy with the new gearing in the G, can tackle the Sepulveda Pass here in "D" even with this rare trailer. The diff guy turned out to be a wonderful, precise mechanic - works only on gear boxes and axles - he did an outstandig job replacing front & rear wheel bearings with all the trimmings while changing the axle gears. I'll PM you with the details. Hi ewalberg, the rear spare tire mount has been re-drilled to relocated the wheel. Not sure if it went up a bit or down. The cover is embarrassing simple, just a piece of plywood, cut to fit the 16" rim, covered with "cheap" vinyl and bolted with an allen-screw to the mount - I'll take some pictures... BTW Martin, this is "his" bike........ (IMG_2247.JPG) Attachments ---------------- IMG_2247.JPG (141KB - 11 downloads) | |

Karl, I guess you like BMW Motorad too. I have a garage full of them including an airhead GS and an oilhead GS. Here are pics of the two R1100S's that I've owned in the past. I rode the yellow '99 upto Laguna Seca in 2003 for the MotoGP. She had 54K miles when I sold her. The second pic is earlier this year at Willow Springs.

Hello Captain Van Thach, thank you for your kind words and please extend our 4th of July greetings to all of your fellow soldiers. When I served in the Bundeswehr in the late sixties it was nothing but "Kinderkram" - knowing that, I can salute you and your comrades for your heroic service from the bottom of my heart. Ok, to the roof rack, it's a Hanibal rack with tent and a modified access ladder. It took a long time to get from a local distributor, but they are carring it not anymore - wonder why.... I'll PM you with a friends info who builds custom aluminum roof racks for G's, LR's and Hummer. Thanks again, Karl (IMG_0002.JPG) Attachments ---------------- IMG_0002.JPG (195KB - 9 downloads) | |
