Will have to go through this more closely when I've got time to take it all in, but it looks like you have the makings of a couple of great motorcycles.

I LOVE the look of that custom XLCR.



You should consider a sister thread on ADV where more than five people will see it.

Absolutely LOVE this topic, thread and sub threads.....Anyway, thought I'd post up this scan of a photo BMC sent me in 85 or 86...I'm positive it is the Blue and White RR1000 with the body removed

Had to get back from East Troy (visiting my parents for the holidays) in order to check out a similar packet of info I bought off eBay a year or two back - see below.
Overall contents:

"Da Blue and White Bike":

After reviewing the info I have I'd have to agree,

1313, how many of these packets from BMC do you think their are? I have the same packet with photos, price guide, for frame, race kit etc. I also agree this is of the blue and white RR. Brian

Does John still have the bike? He was trying to sell it but I'm not certain he did.

I'm not certain. When I saw this I had assumed that he had sold it. But it's also possible that the listing is for a consignment sale.

I wish I knew more.

Heck, I wish that I could say that I've spoken with John recently, but it's been ages since I've seen him...

I've got his Mom's number and his contact info . . . I may have to dig into this. I've got a bunch of that stuff buried somewhere.

Brian,
That's hard to say, but I would reckon (I guess since I've been in NC for nearly 12 years now, I can start talking like a local... Heck, last week at EBR Donna commented that I have a little bit of a Southern drawl... But I digress...) that there aren't that many packets left in existence. I can only guess that the number created was small to begin with, and with typical attrition (I'm told there are people that throw stuff like that away after a period of time...) there's certainly less in existence now.

The real kicker for me, however was scoring a similar packet of information on the RW 750. I bought a magazine on eBay that had a Buell road test article in it. The seller sent me a message asking if I had any interest in the RW 750 packet that he had received from Buell Motor Company from back in the day. I replied "Most definitely! What do you want for it?". I was blown away that he sent it to me for nothing. He was only concerned that it would be going to a good home.

Court,
I sent you an Email with some info that you might find useful.

Please let me know how things go,
1313
