Beitrag von: dequincey am 23 Mai 2017, 01:35:25
Salutations to all of you

i will try to understand this fórum and read as much as poSsible to get the idea of how it works

let me introduce myself first, i am a DIY guy with a Mech. Eng. degree. i own a bmw r2 3rd series (probably) dated 1934, it has been restored and it is in an aceptable condition but not perfect

after some years without paying much attention to her i would like to take now the time and effort to bring her to the best possible condition

hope i can count on you to help on this journey

thanks and regards

Lovely looking bike - I have no idea if historically correct, but it corresponds very well to the drawings in the owner's manual. Do you have any insight into the history of the bike? Where did it come from, who was the last owner, who restored it so beautifully......
Cheers

this bike came from germany probably 15 years ago, i bought it almost 8 years ago from a friend here, no idea of previous owners
i asume it was restored in germany, but i do not know where neither who restored it
