Hello all ,

I’m Blake and I’m new here. I’ve had a ‘73 R75/5 for about 20 years. It was my cousin’s and he left it to me when he passed away. I was a vintage Honda guy before that so this machine was a bit of a shock. I haven’t really ridden it much. I moved to Illinois and it went into storage. Back out now and I’m trying to get it going. Will post more about that later because these Bing’s are driving me crazy!! 

Will be glad to get to know you guys (and gals). I also have a vintage BMW car, but I think that’s a different forum…

Welcome from GA !!

Here's a hopefully helpful list of items to look at if your Airhead hasn't been on the road in awhile. Some secrets on the Bings is one of the covered topics. Hope this helps.

Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.
