Photo by Jim Koenigsaecker I am in the process of restoring a 1953 Steib LS 200 and attaching it to my 1961 BMW R50S. It is very much a work in progress, but, you will be able to check it out on our next Coffee Run this Saturday, September 13th. We will meet at the coffee bar at 8 a.m., and hit the road at 9 a.m. We will also be serving some of the great coffee I found in East Africa earlier this year. Please spread the word and join us. ..
