Hi, I have just been informed that my beautiful beemer in the Sahara is about to be left without a home. Heres the story: In 2006 I bought this wonderful bike, mint, one owner, in Spain and drove it into Morrocco, Mauritania and in the capital of Mauritania, Nouakchott, one day i was hit from behind by a car in the pannier. The impact directed me into a baracade on the road which caused my front rim to break into three pieces. Nothing else was damaged at all but over the next three days I couldnt find another rim for the bike because they are tubeless, special rims (found in europe or NA easily but not in Africa!!) I had a posse of riders that needed to keep going so I started to search out another bike and found one. I continued on a yamaha and left the BMW with an American UN worker in his house. Well he has kept it for me for two years and I havent been able to get there to drive it back to Spain. So...hes going to be moving on in two weeks and I need to get it out of there. I am trying to avoid flying over there, is anyone nearby that would give me a bit of cash for it???Its a beautiful bike, it breaks my heart to see this happen to it!!

CALL me 1250 305 4693, Im in Canada.

Has the bike now been fixed or is it still needing a wheel ?
Is it Spanish registered ?
Thank you.

No it is unfixed, the bike needs a front wheel and its ready to go. I found one on moto bins UK for a good price a while back. It is Spanish registered in Malaga. I have the plate here and the papers are with the bike. I can send the plate.

I would have loved to do that, but I am quite stuck here in Buenos Aires (-:

Hope you find someone.

BA, familiar turf! Hope you ve met up with Javier and Sandra! Stuck by choice I'm guessing!
thanks, cuidate

Where exactly is the bike? has anyone run the engine recently. If someone took a wheel to it could they drive it away?

Old Beemer, you have a P.M
