I don't guarantee any of these links to be accurate or useful. I can only say
that I saw something interesting in them. I hope one or more will help.
One should be able to learn almost anything about a BMW by researching enough
links, To search for BMW info, I suggest using google. Go to
http://google.com
and type in "bmw motorcycle" first and then the words that may apply to your
interest, such as "timing" "fairing" or "wheel bearings" and you will go to some
site that can give you info. You might be surprised at what you find.
I only update this page about once a year. Send me your suggestions
please.

This is a motorcycle travel log in the area of the nuclear disaster in
Chernobyl, Ukraine in 1986. Recently it has been debunked as if it never
happened. I have spent time in the East and have been through many factory towns
that resemble this. This is about a world that we can hardly imagine.

I will add and delete addresses, from time to time, sorry but links get
changed and I probably will not update more than a couple of times a year.
