I request your help in spreading the word!
I have been contacted by Rob Kain & Spencer Myers asking me to assist them in gathering a? collection of significant vintage to contemporary BMW motorbikes to be displayed at a special 100th BMW Motorrad Anniversary exhibit next year at the AACA museum.?
The bikes will be needed for approximately six or seven months at their museum in Hershey, PA.? I plan to bring a couple from my collection and I really hope some of you will step up and do the same. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. I'd like to hear what you have to offer.?
Your assistance is great appreciated!
Also, Jackie Jouret & Rob Mitchell have contacted me regarding a display at the BMW CCA/MOA museum in Greer, SC for next year called:
BMW Motorbikes a Century of Innovation.?
They requested and I have agreed to loan them one of my R100RSs and a R65LS motorbike.? I also agreed to supply one of my R80 G/S motorbikes, most likely the Gaston Rahier PD.
BUT, that means I have some work to do finishing the restoration on my G/S PD.
it's almost winter, not the best time of year to do the work I need to do, but when push comes to shove, I can get it done, especially when there is a fire under my ass.
Now, that being said, if someone has an already completed and well presented R80 G/S or PD they would like to offer, please let me know soon.
Here's the deal: the bikes should be transported for delivery to Greer SC between the dates of Jan 30 and Feb 15th 2023. The bikes will be on display from May 2023 to Jan 2024. The bikes need to arrive well before opening ceremonies to be photographed for a special publication.?
I can transport the motorbikes in my enclosed trailer, so that is not an issue. They are planning on having? pretty snazzy opening and closing ceremonies with well known special luminaries. It looks to be a good time.
Jackie Juriet is the author of around 10 books and will be writing another book covering this exhibit. Is seems as though it's going to be an extensive display of BMW motorbikes and motorcars.?
I hope some of you are able to attend this event during the upcoming year.
Your thoughts and comments are welcome.
