I want you all to welcome my first ever BMW to my growing park of motorised vehicles. It’s an R75/6 from 1974, runs strong and sounds deliciously. Despite being 36 years old, I intend to take this all over Europe. Scour some proper performace parts on eBay and FlatRacer and I will be good to go. But first I am going to strip it down, get it painted and then put it back together again, a little differently.

My first proper attempt to get my some grease on my elbows as I will try and make it look similar to something the Wrenchmonkees would build. On my own. With my two hands. Well, others have done it before me so how hard can it be? In order to be properly structured, I promise to chronicle the build here on The Cartorialist, which now will start featuring motorcycles!

Wish me luck!
