Something for the /5 and /6 owners. It's in French, worth a look see. http://www.ina.fr/video/CAA93053907

Bamboo that was just awesome. Coming from a guy that worked in an auto assembly plant in 1969. That pin striping was amazing! Thank you.

Ach du liebe Zeit! No lab coats, and they were smoking. I'm destroyed! Thanx.... that was great!

Wow! Pink Floyd! What an unexpected treat.
I wonder if P.F. knew the film makers were using it. I would think it would have been almost contemporary at the time.

I missed the smoker.

Sure would like to find one of those, in the packing box, lost in some shipping warehouse somewhere.

I noted the guy adjusting the Brake alignment on the trailing ATE in the manner I have seen described here VS what is in the book. I also liked the final run on the dyno complete with a wobble test and not much safety stuff around.

Great time machine video.

Pin stripping still remains an art form to me. To watch how quickly and accurately they do things is amazing.

Figure about 1976 or 77 maybe? That was a 90S they were assembling?

Very cool...keep 'me coming!

Hi to all, that video was brilliant ! . Seriously hands on assembling the bikes. When i rebuilt my R90 i actually had to bribe (with a large amount of money ) an old school dagger brush painter to drive over an hour to come to my place and work his magic on the tank etc it was amazing to watch his skill made it look so easy. Thanks Bamboo for sharing the video.

Sweet! Interesting that they installed the engine and trans as a unit.

From watching the women in the BMW assembly line do the pin stripping, I realized that I could do it too. However, after a few months of practice, I could do as well, but it would take me 2-3 hours to do what they did in 15-20 minutes.

At different times in the video you can see the engine designation. Both R75 and R90/6. Bing slide carburetors and constant velocity carbs. And high tech final inspection. It starts, it runs pretty good, it must be good. Ship it!
