I'm new to this list, and hopefully the only "PaulM". I'm an old timer with bikes, Started with a Bultaco Metralla over 50 years ago. Recently I've had a bunch of "older BMW's, and just acquired a 1963 RGS.
Its a very pretty bike but only a garage queen, and never ridden. It dry sumps like a pig (new SRM oil pump on order), both the Mag and the Dynamo have failed (I suspect they never were good for the previous owner). Wrong Carb, wheel rims are "tweeked", and oil leaks every where.
So I have my work cut out for me.
