Kevin Graulty bought this classic 1966 R60/2 from Morton's BMW in Fredericksburg, VA, in February, 1977. He says he bought it, "when I was trying to live cheaply and afford flight school (finally became a professional pilot). I intentionally didn't own a car, and I lived in downtown D.C. at the time, so it was relatively easy to park in that otherwise 'car-parking-challenged' environment. With the sidecar, I could handle any weather, and carry stuff.

I racked up the miles on it, but eventually migrated away from using it as a sole transportation provider. I finally began a restoration, dismantling it myself, but bringing components to skilled shops and service providers including Bob's BMW, Speed's Cycle, Capital Cycle, Blue Moon Cycle, and Mike Haven at MPH here in Houston. I re-assembled it myself, and have had fun showing it, and occasionally riding it. I trucked it up to Mid-Ohio Vintage Days last July, and won Grand Marshall's Choice in the "Ride-Em, Don't Hide 'Em" event, selected by Giacomo Agostini himself. Mr. Agostini was a delight to meet, and was very affable with his autograph pen.

I also received an invitation to the AMA's annual Hall of Fame Concours, at their Museum and Headquarters in Pickerington, Ohio, last October. My brothers, Jim and Mark, accompanied me and helped with logistics and detailing. We won First Place in Vintage Class, 1965 - 1975. Thank you for showing these photos. I am humbled by your attention and interest."
