It was a pleasure having Jake and his Dad John over to the cul-de-sac to share the wonderful story of their 1968 BMW R60/2 and sidecar

old beemers. Lovely bit of kit
5pm Sunday arvo in Oz so put the mower away, grab a beer and watch Mike's latest vid. A lovely old Bimmer with a chair. Thanks mate.
When that bike came into the cul-de-sac it was so quiet I was fooled into thinking it had an original engine but anyway it sounds great and Jake is obviously an expert pilot ! 🇬🇧
DISCOS DE FRENO !!!!!
My dad had an R-50 rig when I was young. It was heavy with the hack attacked, but on its own, the Earles fork made it plush.
An amazing story of a motorcycle and a family. A family that not just owned a motorcycle. But used it to make wonderful memories. The smiles on the father and son is a true testament.
What a fun video. The front disc setup looks to be a mashup of late 70s Suzuki rotors and Early Honda calipers.
Love the family legacy & story behind the machine. Also I'd like to award maximum style points for cul-de-sac arrival and exit! 👍 Thanks as always Mike for sharing.
What an interesting BMW, sounds like it has many a tale to tell,
with a great history, it could turn on a sixpence, I’m sure 😀
A real keeper 👍
Keep smiling Mike, have a good one ☕️😎
Great visit to the cul-de-sac! Would be good to see their other bikes in the future and hear more from them. I kinda want a sidecar now!! 😂😊👍
Being a combo guy I thoroughly enjoyed this Mike, thank you. I’m sorry I didn’t run into you at Barber. Would been so cool to meet you.
Thanks for sharing guys, John & Jake talking about the 'outfit' (as we knew them) back then like an old friend. Love to hear the stories of 'reliability' & how people got over those occasions when 'extra' roadside assistance was required.
Have a great week Mike. atvb t .. 😉 .. 😂 .. 😂 .. 👍 .. 🏍
My neighbour across the street came home at 3am one morning with a newly acquired R75/5 and sidecar. He went in to bed so I hunted around in the shed for a large cardboard box and a carpet tube core, quickly sprayed them black and wired them on to the sidecar as a "machine gun", it looked great and we toured the town in it the next day. Fun times
Our local sidecarist would "fly the hack" at highway speeds with two large sheep dogs aboard.
The dogs especially loved it !!
In the '90s there was a group"Sign of the Twins" I think in Redwood City, Ca that had fantastic examples of these. R69/S, R60/2s and R75/5 w/ sidecars. Always smiling like a kid in a candy store, those riders. Joe Groger was a big part of it.
What a great story, very warming
Another fascinating and interesting story. Thanks.
What a cool bike, and such a good story to go with it.
Great story Mike ,when i was in hospital in my late teens (bike related!!) My mate had a motorcycle and sidecar and used to bring my mum to visit me,She loved it😂
Great combi and story👌
Enjoyed the video Mike. Bikes with sidecar are awesome Ride safe!
Quite an interesting story. Retro-mods always end up being bigger projects than one thinks.
Hey,Mike, great story of the family-three-wheeler! Loved it! Greetings from northern Germany Manfred
In the 60s and 70s in Paris, all deliveries of daily newspapers were made in side-car (often serie 2 ) to go as fast as possible ! 😉
purché siano rispettate tutte le modifiche previste per l'uso con sidecar: molle anteriori, ingranaggi cambio e coppia conica, freno idraulico ruota carrozzino, contachilometri, carrozzino Steib 500 (non Dnepr/Ural).
Couple of bags of cement in the chair would help a bit....lovely old bike
GREAT VIDEO ,
Was the circular bar
The drivers back rest or a passenger grab bar
as always , I love your videos
Which shop in Redwood City? Sad that Joe has left us
