His name is Jim, but we called him Bo

This is Jim Bradshaw with his BMW R??RS at the 2000 BMW MOA National Rally in Midland, Mich.

My recollection is that it's a project bike that may or may not have started out as an R100.

Jim lives in Atlanta, Ga., but he grew up a block away from me in Delphi, Ind. and graduated from Delphi High School a year after I did.

We run into each other at BMW rallies every few years - Bike Week in 1993, Midland in 2000, the BMW RA rally in Birmingham, Ala., in 2003.

I rather expect to see him at the BMW MOA National Rally this year in Johnson City, Tenn.
