We’re at the Tech Center today and on the lift we have a 1970 BMW R75/5. See also R50 and R60.

The previous generation of machines [ post war wwII R50 R50/2 /2 R60 R60US R69 R69S ] were known for their reliability, comfort and quiet operation. Once exclusive attributes to BMW, however, many of the new models from Japan [ Honda in particular with the CB350, CB450 and revolutionary CB750 ] now achieved this at a lower price along with impressive performance. Greatest ever motorcycles discovery The /5 was available in 500, 600 and 750 cc capacities… this being a 750, thus the R75 designation [ R50/5 R60/5 ]. While relying on BMWs trademark air cooled boxer twin, the model is a radical departure in many ways from the previous models.

Watch game play of this old school style role playing game where you create characters with stats that you get by random number generation. Name your characters, create a party and equip them with swords, axes and bows and arrows. Learn magic, take potions and don’t forget the antidote. It’s awesome retro RPG style with Dark Spire where you dungeon crawl and fight trolls, scoundrels and giant mushrooms. I love this game. Even the cool 80’s style isn’t old enough for you it also has a late 70’s vector graphics style which really forces you to use your imagination.

Promotional video for Velo Mini Folding Electric Bicycle. The Velo Mini is perfect compact bike for students and boaters. We have had customers take this bike with them on vacations because it fits in a trunk of a car. Its a great way to get around without using gas. Better option than a moped or scooter. It weighs only 31lbs and you can fold it up. The lithium Ion battery is built inside the frame, so you dont even notice it. Charging time is 3 hours and it charges just like a laptop computer.
