Regulars Rides: Dean's vintage 1963 BMW R60
Вставка

- 'Shed Regular Dean has a fascination with the BMW R60 vintage bikes form the 60's era.
Having already owned one, he wanted another after being inspired by a Blitz Motorcycles build that caught his eye and wanted to have a go at building one himself.
When his eBay donor bike arrived though, he quickly scrapped the custom build idea as he couldn't bring himself to alter it's original beauty.
So he turned it into a restoration build, giving this 57 year old bike a new lease of life.

You can feel the vibe and excitement of this man with this gestures and stutters.
Hi Jopet....Hope you liked the video....all the best...Dean 🏍
I toured and rode to work on a R69s for many years, it was comfortable to ride. Its head light and breaks were not wonderful, you learned to ride accordingly. My last BMW was a K75 s that I loved. It had great breaks and lighting and handled well.
Some people say a vehicle is just to get from point A to point B. They're wrong. The vehicle is the point.
Here, here.
those ppl are defo not petrolheads.
you are wrong as well. the ride from A to B is the point 😀
@@uleiosu4582 It is harder to turn your head and look around with lower handlebars. This results in relying more using mirrors especially while changing lanes. Mirrors work great, but on this bike the mirrors are way too small to be effective. This makes the motorcycle dangerous in a traffic situation. So this motorcycle is great for a single lane country back road. Its a pretty bike and I love it, but safety must come first above styling. One mistake in a urban area or a city freeway and you are dead meat. Other than that its a super cool bike.
indeed, its a gorgeous bike and yes safety first above everything. ride safe!
Love how excited this guy is talking about his bike!!
Just a man and his machine :)
Just been to the garage to say goodnight....to the bikes!!....Dean 🏍
I can't believe old bmw sounds so amazing with the original pipe. One of the best 2 cylinder engine sound in my opinion.
Me too!
This guy is an amazing presenter
thanks Seb....I was a bit nervous but luckily had lots to chat about the bike 👍🏍
The video was 14mins, mostly of the other bikers only has 5mins. Lol hahaha
@@deanogold7282 I like how you are grinning all through the video when talking about the bike. Your passion for the bike is really visible and your excitement is infectious. I enjoyed the video and look forward to seeing your other bike(s).
Great job and thanks for introducing me to a bike I knew nothing about. Love your jacket btw!
@@deanogold7282 Dude you should start your own channel. The bike is beautiful but you made this episode what it was.
Gorgeous. Love how it purrs rather than roars, matches the bike's aesthetic perfectly.
Great bike. This guy clearly bleeds passion for his bike. Love the light switch. Always loved the older bmws. Side note: I hope you guys continue this series for LA folks when the LA shed opens. As an LA native and dedicated Bike Shed supporter I'd love to volunteer to be on an LA episode with my slightly customized Ducati Monster.
Hey AJ....pleased you like the bike 👍🏍
I could watch these videos all day. This guy is clearly passionate and loves the bike and the the process that led to what it is today. Food for inspiration, thank you!
One of the few BMW boxer twins on UA-cam with properly adjusted tappets and tappet blocks. Someone knows what he's doing!
yes, but just don't let Robbie fob you off with his Polish mechanic
Very cool, we got one just standing here at the police station as a museum piece. Nice to see this video.
Wonderful, tasteful restoration. He knows when to add and when to stop. The white on other bikes could look sisy , but on this bike just looks posh.
That engine sound just washed away my stress❤️
Fantastic looking bike, well done👍
Many thanks Lawrence.....🏍
Love the sound. Not too loud, not offensive, but throaty. Classy job, sir
Beautiful. Great to watch and hear a guy who clearly loves his bike too. Spot on.
so envious....people dont even have one and you got two, this white paint looks awesome!! thanks for sharing
My pleasure doodle....all the best...Dean 🏍👍🏻
Love the look of yourr cream bike, it looks way better than the all black one in the video!
A relief it was spared the matt black, fantastic bike.
I had a ’57 and a ’58 both R69’s. Restored the ’57, an old gendarme bike, myself while working in Morocco in ‘79. The ’58 I bought fully restored while working in Thailand in ‘84. Shipped both back to the US and entrusted my brother to take care of them until I returned to the US. Bastard sold both of them and didn’t say a word to me about it. That’s been 25 years ago, haven’t spoken to him since. Tip, lose the Bing carbs and get some Mikuni carburetors. Don’t touch anything else, they are perfect stock. Best, most dependable motorcycles I’ve ever owned.
Hopefully i’ll get my grandads R60/6 done up one day, I love seeing what people do to these beautiful machines. Seeing Dean riding off looked really cool, definitely something I want to do.
Hey thanks for posting so refreshing to see something besides another new Harley with stage one or two LOL
That is a super nice ride! Thanks for showing us. Great presentation, too.
Love your passion and excitement, awesome looking bike, well wear Dean👍🏻
That's one of the most GORGEOUS motorcycle I have ever seen♥️
That is a symphony for my ears, the sound of it!
I used to have an old timer Opel Record C coup, '69. We' d say that the engine sounds like the Singer (sewing machine). This is a beauty! 😍
Wow what an amazing beemer,and sounds beautiful 😍
Beautiful! Its a work of art! Very rarely do I get goosebumps and I got them when I looked at the motor bike!
An amazing presentation on the bike Sir! Beautifully done! Thank you very much!
Many thanks Oleg....please you like the bike 🏍
It's brilliant! I have never seen anything like it. Thanks for sharing.
My Pleasure Jeff....love the fact that you like it & appreciate it 🏍👍
That is a great looking bike. The work done to it is first class. Totally agree with you about adding old to new.
Cheers Mark....pleased you liked her & great comment thanks...all the best...Dean 🏍👍🏻
Awesome modification along with the originals....lovely!
This guy obviously cares for the bike. There are many people who come on this channel and want the bike to make them look cool and sophisticated but he genuinely cares about the bike for its own sake.
Wow. Absolutely stunning mate!
My goodness what an elegant beauty that is. Absolutely gorgeous!
Lovely and great video. I’m definitely jealous of the carbs as mine always leak. I was puzzled by Ulis in Frankfurt until I looked it up. My shop orders from there. I’m so glad y kept the Dover white. I have a 64 R50 in it as well. It even came with the tire pump. I look forward to seeing more videos!
Cheers Dean, love your bike, good taste with the mods. Congrats!!
Stunningly beautiful.
Many thanks Bob.....very pleased you liked her....Dean 🏍
that is one very cool motorcycle and the color really makes it pop.
What a lovely bike, sounds great as well. 👍
Amazing bike Dean and great balance between originality and customisation.
Appreciate the comment 🏍pleased you like it
Digg! Nice job on this R60! Love the look!
Great looking boxer classic! Sounds great as well! My ride is an R1150RT, but these older BMW's are so stylish and great to see and hear. Would love to own one of these in near future.
Absolutely fabulous machine, super cool design.......
Extra points for Dean's enthusiasm and the courage to present his bike. It takes more guts than most realize - so you have my upvote, sir!
Other than that, the bike is a shaved cat representative of the caféBay era. It's either that, or my subconscious envy of the folks who can afford to throw money at their hobbies until they're happy.
Absolute beauty 👍
Thanks for the presentation
What a gorgeous machine!!!, congrats mate!!
many thanks Carlos...pleased you like it 🏍
Love the note out of that sounds really cool, looks great
Many thanks Carl....it really is music from that old engine....👍🏻🏍
Cool, cool...your damn right it's Cool! What a great looking bike.
I was hitting the “Like” button 2 seconds into the video. 👍🏾
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Thanks👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Dean
same here
That looks beautiful.It’s a work of art.
Lovely sound... Great pipes!
Absolutely stunning machine!😍 I’ve got a 1980 R100s that had a ground up resto done by a mate. I took it out for a couple of hours on the weekend. I just love looking at it, riding it & listening to it. Here in Australia I have it on club rego so it’s a special treat taking it for a run. I have had the S1000RR & traded that beast for a S1000R. Also in the shed is a 2003 Rockster which is having a mild makeover😉😈😎 Gotta love a boxer twin👍🏼😎
I rode a R60/5 for many years. Never had a better bike. Only sold it to save the farm. I called it my sewing machine for the smooth faultless running. Top speed 105 Mph. all day, (not 106). I pulled it apart for a look at 100,000 k and couldn't measure appreciable wear in the chrome/moly cylinders but put in new rings anyway.
Our Paradise Ca. home didn't burn. Everyone around us did. What hurt the most, oddly, was seeing all the burned cars and bikes. Two doors up was a bike like this one. Melted. Almost all the aluminum, Gone. I picked up a dribble some 18" long and 5" wide. The steel parts like frame were intact of course.
That bike is a work of art..
Beatiful bike, man. I love the bmw motorcycles. And this one is just perfect
Great video, old bmws are super cool. Great job on your bike mate, thanks for sharing. Cheers
Many thanks Harley....pleased you liked the bike and video...all the best...Dean 👍🏻🏍
Beautiful bike.. Timeless. Cant wait until 2073 when my K1300S will be the same age as this beauty.
My.wife's grandfather owned one of these in the 60s. It had a Steib Sidecar and was black it had a long range BMW fuel tank, even bigger than the one shown on this video. I have a Riese und Müller pedal cycle with the same type of front suspension. The bikes don't dive under braking and provide a very smooth ride. Great video 👍
Beautiful bike...thanks for showing it!
My Pleasure....I'm pleased you liked it...Dean 👍🏻🏍
*I like how he says the bars **_"put you in a cooler position,"_** and then the editor adds the coolest photo (**5:29**) they can find of Dean.*
I love both the white and the black ones. Beautiful resto custom.
Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance! Beautiful Bike!
Hello. This bike is so cool that I can not believe it. I do like it a lot. Well job done mate! . Cheers.
What a sweet sounding motor!
Oh My Eyes, What a Beauty of a Machine.
Love your bike. Very good job, very cool. I want it.
She is a beauty , thanks for sharing her !
What a beauty! Lovely machine, what a sound.
Thanks Monty...pleased you liked her...does sound great..all the best...Dean 🏍👍🏻
Beautiful motorcycle with a lovely sound. Restomod is all it needed, great choice. Makes me want one, to keep my Guzzi company.
Looks fantastic in white!
Fantastic work!
Not really into BMW’s but that bike is just class.
Well done mate, you aced it.
Best I’ve seen of these show and tell deals you blokes do over there.
I’m not a bike guy but i love these old coffee blenders.
I would like to point out ( incase you don't know this) that the top front shock mounts are in the wrong place, they are meant to be in-line with the steering head, and it was quite a common mod to have these repositioned for better handling
Absolutely and Utterly Beautiful!!!
Fab bike, nice story, loved the sound.
Nicely done, mate!
the most important thing is that he loves his BMW!✌ België
Great looking bike, sounds awesome, well done , love it👍
Many thanks Jeff...does sound great....music to my ears 🏍

Beautiful, and it sounds delicious too!
Yes!!!
That is absolutely fantastic, very nice ride.
beautiful machine, well done sir
dream bike there. outstanding work.
I really loved his bikes more than the Matt black for number of reasons this seems to be old yet elegant and beautiful the way he kept smiling in between telling about what he has done to his bike haha it's awesome what you guys do tell story of each bike and their respective owners I really like the idea he customize it yet added his own taste to his bike ... I really liked the hubs and headlight film I had done same to my 59 Enfield g2 just gorgeous the engine just purrs beautiful.
Well done Dean. Beautiful.
Just beautiful! Lucky man.
