"a bike for old guys into function more than form... solid, dependable, but neither exciting, or innovative".Or at least that was Bruce M's perception of them, a view that changed after seeing some R series builds by companies such as La Corona (as featured on Pipeburn).Bruce is a good mate of Ellaspede and visits regularly. Whilst hanging around the workshop he gained an understanding and appreciation of the build process and formulated a plan to build his own custom bike.As mentioned his view of the R series changed after seeing the stripped back simplicity along with the exposed airhead boxer twin and figured his 1979 BMW E21 coupe needed a German companion in the garage, so the search began for a suitable donor.Not long after he rolled in on a stock 1987 R65 mono. He could have kept searching for an R80, 90 or 100 but the smaller frame of the 65 lent itself more so to Bruce's vision, so work began.Bruce had a clear vision of what it would look like and instructed us to "make the frame as minimalist and...
