I was curious of the status of your bike, Hopefully it can be restored to its former glory soon.
My current ride (or a reasonable facsimile of):
Had a blue 78 R100/7 in the SF avenues. Put a 100k on it. Best bike I ever had.
Edited for accuracy. (7 not S)
Man, what a lovely bike.
I wish my car was painted that exact color (I realize it’s faded over time). It’s awesome.
Icon though the R most surely is, horizontally opposed engines are for aeroplanes and helicopters, not motorcycles 
has anyone heard the origin story of the badge/logo
reference in the movie ‘finding forrester’
