“RED LITER”
I met Don outside of Franco’s Pizzeria on W. State Street in Ithaca when I stopped for lunch on my 1971 R75/5. He told me he had a few Airheads in his garage that needed attention. I invited him to come checkout my workshop. We hung out a few times. On a visit with Russell to Don’s place I got the R100S running smoothly in about an hour. A new battery and two “new” carburetors, that were still in boxes, from San Jose BMW was all it took. Don rode the bike a few more times that fall. I made arrangements to acquire the bike for Russell’s collection and then we hauled the bike to Martha’s Vineyard. Once there, I cleaned electronic connections, painted the frame & fork, performed all service procedures, restored every nut & bolt, corrected the paint, and then detailed the R100S in 3 days.
