My Old Beemer

After a sudden decision and a long market research, I got myself an extraordinary new year present on the 31st of December 2014. A nicely used and adequately taken care of, suitable for my purpose, BMW R25/3, model year 1954. Let's see if I can successfully restore it the way it left the factory in Munich 60 years ago. In the upcoming weeks and months, you'll find lots of pain, suffering, motor oil and WD40 here in this blog.

Düne kadar sıradan bir motosiklet meraklısı ve binicisiyken, şimdiyse hayatımın en zorlayıcı projesine soyundum. 60 yıl önce üretilmiş bir sanat eserini alıp yılların izini silmeye çalışırken başımdan geçecekleri burada okuyabileceksiniz. / Having been just an ordinary motorcyclist, I recently decided to take on the biggest challenge of my life. In these pages, you will witness my highs and lows during the restoration of a sixty year old masterpiece.
