My brother has a 1972 BMW motorcycle with a side car. Now THAT is

Hi Richard,
The only thing really hurt was my pride (low speed drop from hitting
pile of gravel during turn -- thank goodness for helmet, jacket, boots,
etc.) About the only bike damage was a destroyed mini-fairing, but
most early 80's Yamaha Seca 750's were "naked bikes" as mine now is.
It has been well suited for Leica shooting (to get somewhat on topic)
as I often have one nested in the tank bag. Coincidentally I have been
looking at BMW's (older K1200RS, R1100RT or R1100R -- a K1200GT would
be my ultimate choice, but a little to new to be affordable for me).
Most Beemers come with ABS -- which might have helped me avoid the
accident. BTW, the IBMWR list has a bunch of neat, helpful people and
reminds me in many ways of the LUG. They even have a few elder
philosophers (but no saloonkeeper!)
