I've been riding Beemers (BMW) for more than a decade,



Back in the day, a BMW motorcycle was known as Bumble Double U. BSA was a Beezer (or a Beezah, depending on your provenance). This was from one of the two out groups at Beloit College in the pre-60 60s. The Philosophy Group were all a bunch of motorhicle hoodlums and most rode Harleys. There was one guy had a BMW one lunger. You could always tell from blocks away that it was him because you couldn't hear it. There was also a high school student that hung out with us, the Philosophy Group and the Archy Group both, that had a Harley, but he had an Ariel Square Four, too, but that's a whole nother story.
