Hello,
I wasn't planning on buying a Flying Brick but it looks like I'll be getting a beautiful 1985 model in the near future.
I see one at work occasionally and always have to check it out and one just kind of fell into my lap (so to speak).
I rode one back in 1985 and being used to Guzzis with the linked brakes I nearly killed myself in the parking lot when I grabbed a handful of front brake! That'll wake you up.
I currently have several Buells and a bunch of Triumph triples which I like an awful lot.
I think the K bike will be a great touring bike for the wife and myself as I remember them being very smooth with supple suspension and plenty of power.
I'll be driving everyone crazy with newbie questions for a bit once the bike deal is completed.
The first thing I'll be looking at is an exhaust as I do like to make a bit of racket but not too much!
Thanks,
Steve Ford
