2006: The first Windjammer found!
The end of June, 1971, George Monroe stopped by to buy a fairing for his BMW. When he saw the Windjammer on my Kawasaki 500, he had to have it. We removed it from my Kawasaki, buffed it up, put a new windshield on it and made up our first BMW hardware. But before we let him go, we took a bunch of pictures of George.
I knew a remarkable artist, George Tisten. From this photo, George redrew Monroe with a newer BMW and a production Windjammer.
This became our business card for the next 5 years!
35 years later, I located George Monroe and the first Windjammer
George Monroe was kind enough let me have my first Windjammer back. Thank you George. This means a lot to me. The inside of this Windjammer is very different from the next version. I will show you in later pages.
