If the chassis is imprecise, there is something seriously wrong. That thing should track like it’s on rails. Fix it for your mom before you lose her. Look at the steering head bearings (convert to tapered from ball if you still have the old ball bearings), and remove, clean, inspect, replace if necessary the swing arm bearings and the wheel bearings. They are all tapered rollers and should last at least 500,000 miles if taken care of. The catch is in the past 40-50 years, nearly all have seen neglect at some point in their lives, and unsealed tapered bearings cannot tolerate neglect.
So fix it, and it should be stable at 100 mph. They were stable and handled nice, if perhaps a bit slow, when new, and maintained ones still are. (both of mine)

You would think such a smart guy would be wearing a helmet. To think Apple was that close to never being created! Glad he knows how to ride; what a beautiful machine. There is something so romantic and classy about BMW’s boxer twins, I hope BMW continues to produce the R bikes forever.

Okay, that is just awesome! Nice find. I think BMW and Apple go hand n hand!

R60 is such a nice bike. My mother has got one and the chassis is really unprecisive , so it’s difficult to ride.

How long ago was this photo taken? From the looks of it, seems like the 80′s?
