1982 BMW airhead

I have been commuting to SFSU and work in Mountain View, CA using my secondary BMW. A 1982 R100RS that was owned by my father, but he no longer rides. The bike needs some work but seems to run well, so far.

Since my schedule and finances are limited while I am attending school, I will have to postpone re-activating my main BMW until January 2008.

Here’s a shot of me about to leave to work. I usually return after midnight. Riding late night is very peaceful, no distractions.
