Bro Dave, that was a 30 year younger Dean O, a full tilt bozo out of control BMW nut and a much younger hoon of the first order.

Notice all the high quality trials protective gear.........NOT.

I do remember those heavy wool sweaters having outstanding protective qualities Dean-o

I love this thread..."Eye Candy" indeed!
Let's keep it going...somebody scan some old color shots.

Edit: More cool pics...

Thanks for the Aussie show pics!
Anybody know anything about the "EVO" system on the blue Speed Triple?
Where are they made? Website?
"Hoochie Mama" wants to know!

One more, just for grins...

Darth ...very nice. My favorite bike.

That doesn't look the stock Alaska Blue. I guess it could rightly be called "header pipe blue"! Tasty.

Here's boxerboys nice piece of eye candy....

Tasty Sporty at the top of the page!
Boxerboy - Actually the R100RS is the stock Alaska blue. I never thought I'd have a blue motorcycle but blue turned out to be the right color for this particular bike...for me anyway.
The black one in JPS Livery...really nice! Is that a stock paint job or did you do that? We didn't get that in the states. I watched Nigel Mansel at the Dallas Grand in 1984 Prix push an out of gas F1 car across the finish line in 103 deg. heat and then pass out. The car was painted the same as your bike.
I always liked the JPS paint scheme.
I sure like that Yamaha concept bike. It out MT-01's the MT-01. It out Speed Triple's the Speed Triple. Hoochie Mama!

Keep it up boys, this is good stuff.

In the eye of the beholder (owner),
Am I showing my bias?

BMW (Sold @ 60,000 miles):

Sporty (Sold @ 38,000 miles):

Bonnie'(5,000 miles in two months so far):

Must've been the lighting! It looks a tad lighter.
The JPS was Ozzie only, 30 in total. 1981-2. BMW Australia can't say any more than that.

What this thread needs is a good touring Thumper, lads.

[darthrider]

Here's a real favorite...
The 1956 World Land Speed Record Triumph streamliner, the "Texas Ceegar".

Edit: It's oughta here...

Here's my silver Rainmaker next to someone's BMW 500 hack last spring at Cassoday, Kansas.

It's a stormy day; Cannot go riding as the tornado sirens are wailing, so how about a look at the stable? 650 now sports the new Wundelich windshield, pic from July 2005.

[DJ Downunder]

Now that's a nice pair... ..you just need a new K1200R and you'd have the complete set..

[bakernks]

Thanks bro
A K1200R, really? hmm I was thinking trade the R1150R for the FJR1300A, but your point is well made. That would be the trifecta, throw the K1200R in there for when I need to get there REALLY quickly!

[darthrider]

Nice rides, Steve-O!
