I also love bikes. Always have. I grew up on mini bikes, then dirt bikes then a brand new out of the crate Honda VF500F in '86. I put lots of time into that bike. I sold it with 60K miles on it and miss it.
I build plastic kits along with other model building hobbies that I enjoy and came across the restoration of a K100 that had a lot of pictures that I have been wanting for my Tamiya 1/12 scale K100 kit. I love the bike and remember the first time I saw one long ago.
A 900SS kit is also on the shelf next to it. Right now I have dug out a kit I had started but never completed as I had no luck with the clear coat over my paint and it got shelved. Its the Paris-Dakar R80 GS winner. Waiting for new decals for it for it is going to be scuffed down and repainted.
The Honda NSR250 was my last build. 15 years ago. I just took out my first kit to work on after all that time to think about it and it will be the K100 and I am excited about it.
