I'm in the Boston area and have a '72 R75/5, which I've owned since 1992. Â I rode it coast-to-coast in '94, but it was off the road, in a cold garage, for a number of years I won't disclose [shuffles feet] but is back on the road, thanks to Duncan and Rob at Duncan's Beemers. Â The bike has never let me down, and in the chilly hour-long ride back from the shop the other day, it ran the same as it always has -- so I'm optimistic that we're back in business. Â Duncan suggested going ABC, so here I am!

Welcome, and Welcome Back. Spring is just around the corner, so I hope we will see you out there on the local roads and maybe at some of our local rides and events. Â
The most active communication channel for the Northeast Airheads is our Groups.io mailing list, I can put you on that list if you like. Â
Again, welcome. Â

Welcome from GA !
Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.
@14325 Got the list confirmation - thanks! I swore off group rides a number of years ago, having found I was prone to riding too fast in an effort to keep up - almost unalived myself one day passing a line of cars, at the tail end of a group of bikes that had much more horsepower... when I completed the pass, I immediately pulled over, shut down, and said to myself, "Self, you just risked your life and those of other innocent people, just to keep up with a group of idiots who aren't considerate enough to run a safe ride!" At my advanced age, I'm less likely to do that, one hopes! Â But other types of events/gatherings, I'm up for that. especially if they involve food.
