Biting the Bullet

It was an impulse buy. I had started to restore my very rusted 1984 BMW R65LS and it was dawning on me that, with the time I could spend on it, this would be a 1-2 year project. During that time I had no bike.

R65 - The old girls history

She came of the production line in December 1983 according to BMbikes,  but she was first registered in February 1986.

So she was built before 1 Jan 1984 and I can stop paying vehicle tax after 1 April 2024.

I don't know what she was doing between February 1986 and 12 December 1991, but she was registered to an owner in Dunfermline in 1991  I bought her from Dunfermline Motorcycles in 1993.
