Hello

[Moto pete]

Hello All,
Just a short message to introduce myself, my name is Pete and I live in East Sussex, England and I have several other bikes mostly Moto Morini’s, but have just been given a 1979 r 65 that has lived in a shed for the last 22 years, unfortunately not a very dry shed so it a bit rusty and corroded, but after half a day with a can of electrical contact cleaner, break cleaner and plus gas, second hand battery and some new fuel it started, well impressed.
Regards Pete.

Hi
welcome, brake shoes, tyres, all fluids, points, plugs, clean the inside of the tank and run it "just as found"?

I concur. I just did more or less the same thing a few months ago. The work did lean towards the "more" rather than the "less" but I got to enjoy it for a few weeks before the leaves stopped the fun.

Hello Phil,
Thank you. Really enjoyed going through old posts on the forum learnt a lot about how BMW’s work which is good as I know nothing about them.
Regards Pete.

Hello Pete, from another Pete.

Welcome to the Forum. I've never had an airhead, but I did have a Morini Kanguro many moons ago, a lovely little bike - I couldn't get on with the r/h gearchange though! How about some photos of your project?!

Hello Pete, I have a Kangaro but a mark 3 so it has a left hand gear change, all though all the others are right hand gear change. I will try and get some pictures up when I figure out how to do it.
Regards Pete.
