BMW R25 restoration step by step - blog

[Dane Restorations]

Dear BMW fans, my name is Danijel. I am from Croatia and I am restoring old motorcycles. You can see my work on http://dane-restorations.com/de/

Recently I have started restoring one old BMW in bad condition and with many semi-original parts. During restoration I will try to reproduce its original state as close as I can. I will use old photos of these model form this site, and maybe I will decide to change some items to look like original. In any case I thing that will be interesting to me and you. From now on you can follow me on my blog which I will announce in this topic. Also, I am open-minded for all questions and dicussions. I will try not to write to much, but I will put many photos of my work. I hope you will enjoy. Lets start....first blog is on – motorcycle disassembly http://dane-restorations.com/bmw-r25-restoration-starts-disassembly/

Bok Dane

vrlo dobar Blog imas - cestitam 

Dok sam ga citao, nasao sam ovu sliku:


Bas me zanima kako si spremnika sa elektrolizom popravio (hrdju kemiski pretvorio opet u zeljezo?).

Puno pozdrava
Karl

Für die deutschsprachige Mitleserschaft: auf Dane´s Blog bin ich auf ein Bild gestoßen, (s.o.) mit der Bildunterschrift: "Rostentfernung im Kraftstofftank leicht und billig gemacht durch Elektrolyse".
Oben fragte ich ihn wie er das genau gemacht hat.

Nice one mate! Must be a tremendous feeling riding it first time after completion. Congrats!

Hi Dane,

congratulations! Really nice picture! You should post it in higher resolution that every R25 driver can use it at a desktop background :-)

Regards, Thomas

Hi to all, I am glad you like the bike, it is riding good. I did cca 200 km so far without problems :-)....this photo is part of official fotoshooting for our local motocycle magazine "Motorevija" - part of Motorrad group in Croatia. I was one of the editors of that magazine in the begining of issue, so my collegues did these photos for me. I still have embargo to distribute them in high-res until text will be published in the magazine. After that I will share few the most beautifull here or on my site.....till then one more (small one)
