Brook Reams Death - A loss to the Airhead Community

Post by Kurt in S.A. »

Brook Reams passed away on June 13. He was meticulous for his restorations but best of all was his documentation of his work. A go-to for getting it done DIY.

New Name For “Brook’s Airhead Garage”​

Posted on February 2, 2025

I changed the name of my web site and YouTube channel to “Brook’s & Branden’s Airhead Garage”. Branden is my youngest son and now owns 3 airheads I rebuilt: 1975 R75/6, my 1st BMW; first year 1977 R100RS; 1983 R100RS I converted to the RT model.

He is currently working on rebuilding a 1973 R75/5 that was donated to the Motorcycle Relief Project.

I was diagnosed with the neuro-muscular disease ALS this summer after 9 months of testing. I’ve lost strength and can’t ride or do anymore rebuild projects. Branden is using my shop and tools, so I renamed the web site and YouTube channel because he is going to publish and film the work he is doing on the R75/5 project. He has become an airhead enthusiast and is a very good mechanic. His documentation will be high quality

I am optimistic a cure for ALS will arrive this year and I’ll be cured.
