1976 BMW R-90. I fixed it up and painted it a Porsche gray, added progressive springs front & back, liberated the exhaust and had Sargent recover the seat. Oh, replaced the Bing carbs with flat slide Mikunis.
What bike do you commute with?

Re: What bike do you commute with?
Up until recently it has been my ‘78 Wing. I have a tail bag for carrying my things - lunch, dress shoes (slacks & collared shirt required), and my cover. As previously stated, I won’t leave my bikes out in the sun...
But I recently picked up a ‘99 Valkyrie Interstate and that has become my new commuter. I’m much more visible on the Valk in the foggy mornings and the extra storage is nice. But I do miss riding the Wing - WAY lighter and more nimble!
