Congratulations to Fabrice Vuillemeny of Santa Clarita for winning Bike of the Month with his 1967 BMW R69S.
Fabrice won a plaque provided by Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys.
Fabrice is the third owner and has owned the BMW for five years. This motorcycle was originally sold in South Africa and then brought to the US from
an Orange County motorcyclist who only owned if for six months before selling it to Fabrice.
This was Fabrice's first time to our meet. He rode his BMW 70 miles down to HB from
Santa Clarita. A seventy mile ride is nothing to him. Last summer he and his wife rode
their 2023 BMW GSA 10,000 miles from California to Prudo Bay Alaska in 32 days.
He found out about our group from Eugene Garcin who is a nine time Bike of the Month winner.
Fabrice recently finished a complete restoration of a 1976 Honda CB750 which he sold last week.
Thank you, Fabrice for bringing your BMW out for all of us to see. See all the photos in our December 2024 Gallery.
