Props to this guy.  Hope he finds his way back to wherever he needs to be.  And I hope to watch more of his entertaining videos.

And another.  Sounds like he'll be back!

I just watched Chris Harris' video.  I hope he and his family find what they are looking for.  I've watched and enjoyed many of his videos and I must say, if not for him I would have been stranded on many of my Airhead and K-Bike projects.
Chris stated in tis latest video that he did indeed make to Bruno's place, but he didn't elaborate on what happened there.  I know Bruno has been a large part of the BMW repair scene.  Anyone have an up date on his condition?

In the video Chris mentions someone with a lot of BMW knowledge who is dying of bone cancer.  Bruno?

Thanks for sharing the latest on Chris.

I do hope he is doing well and there are more videos in the making.  I've always like watching his postings and have learned a lot.

YEAH, That's Bruno.  From the video it didn't sound like Bruno was doing all that well. 
I believe Bruno used to rebuild K75 - K100 drive shafts.  If I'm not mistaken he would rebuilt them with new splines and some sort of Silicone plug inside the shaft to keep the grease in the area of the spline.
I was wondering how Bruno was doing?

I appreciate that he said he'd rather be riding than wrenching and that he started his videos so that he'd have LESS customers!  (Actually he said that he started making videos to document the work he did on customers bikes and that it evolved into helping others fix their own bikes.) Also when he pulls the cover up to reveal that his personal bike is (what I'm guessing) a K100RT!  :2thumbup:
