New BMW added to the stable
Well it's new to me. I just received it yesterday and am completely jazzed about riding it this weekend. It is a 1971 BMW R75/5. I haven't had a bike in almost 11 years and when I stumbled accross this one I knew it was time to get back in touch with my inner Hell's Angel.........

(hopefully the pic comes through......)

This one was only $3K CAD. They are quite easy to find on e-bay in the U.S. but are fairly rare up here in Canada. I had to have this one shipped out from Ontario.

In regards to the depth of field trickery, I am not sure, as this is the photo the previous owner took and sent me before I bought it.

He used a long lens...at least 85mm, and an f-stop like 2.8
