G'day All, the pox has infected my place by way of a 91 K75S which was on Gumtree just around the corner from my place. Will put up some pics when bike is picked up on Monday. This illness is incurable.... Cheers Tom

Its no good trying to resist you just need to roll with the punches and make the best of it. Did I tell you I bought an 87 K100 for parts but you never know.

G'day All, Well, the 75S arrived home yesterday on the trailer. Looking pretty good in the car port. Just need to get that clutch/gearbox problem sorted and it'll be even better. Photos to follow.

Bit of a thread hijack... I sold Brick2 and, unbelievably, was offered a rough K1100LT yesterday!!! Well, yes, I'm thinking about it, mostly because I know the history of the bike and there isn't that much wrong with it.

I got a K75 RT from a guy in Queanbean which had an electrical melt down but on inspection I can find nothing wrong with it. Haven't started it yet but there are no signs of the smoke getting out or melted insulation.

Not to mention that a K75S is probably one of the best Ks ever made and by 91 they had all of the kinks (except for the horrid factory seat and stupid helmet lock) figured out.

Well said Duck.  That is why I have two 75S, a 75S parts bike, a 75C, and a 75RT.....  sorry I had better stop there.
