"OldCro" project PAGE

WELCOME! THIS SITE IS DEDICATED
TO THOSE OF US HOOKED ON TYPE 247 AIRHEAD BMWs,
AND WILD ENOUGH NOT TO LEAVE THEM BE.
I KNEW I WASN'T THE ONLY
CRAZED BOXER LOVIN' GEARHEAD OUT THERE!

..FRIENDS AROUND KNOW ME AS "STONE SCHOOL", OTHERS AS "VANZEN".
LIVE IN A ONE ROOM STONE SCHOOLHOUSE BUILT IN 1860,
AND I AM DEFINITELY "OLD SCHOOL".
BORN IN DETROIT, "THE MOTOR CITY",
AND RAISED ON HOT-ROD MAGAZINES AND HIGH-TEST LEADED,
WELL, JUST NEVER COULD LEAVE A GOOD ENGINE ALONE.
CUT MY TEETH ON HARDLY-DID-RUNS
AND HD TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED TO KNOW
...ABOUT MOTORCYCLE MECHANICS.
MADE THE SWITCH TO BMW BECAUSE SOMETHING WAS MISSING ...
LIKE THE RIDE!
HAVE SINCE TRAVELED ALL OVER THIS VAST COUNTRY ON BEEMERS,
FOR SOME 30 YEARS NOW.
I WAS IN MY PRIME IN THE 70's
WHEN "CAFE-STYLE" ENJOYED SOME POPULARITY,
AND A LOVE FOR THE STYLE HAS NEVER LEFT
... HENCE THE TITLE "ROCKER BOXER".

THOSE OF YOU RUNNING FLAT BARS, DOLPHIN FAIRINGS, DELLORTOS,
KRAUSER 4V HEADS, TURBOCHARGERS, AND THE LIKE MIGHT HAVE A CLUE.

ANYWAY: THE "OldCro" project is a bad-ass machine that I am currently building .
"BOXERS AT LARGE" IS A WORLD-WIDE PHOTO COLLECTION OF TYPE-247 BMWs THAT FIT THE PROFILE.
AND "FRAME PAGES" ADDRESSES HISTORICAL SOLUTIONS TO HARNESSING THE RUBBER COW.

............MEANWHILE............THIS SITE IS CONSTANTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, SO,
ENJOY,
BUY A DISCIPLES of the LUFTKOPF T-SHIRT,

& CHECK BACK OFTEN!!!

the "OldCro" project IS UNDERWAY.
