Hi all . I'd like to introduce myself to the Forum , after much ado & still not sure if this is the correct way to join ...as there was no means that I can readily find to guide me to making this introduction apart from sending a PM & cry for help to a very helpful & kind K100 forum member that I just plucked out at random from the forum... he is called The Joker ( & thank you that man ) for your kind assistance in guiding me to making this intro post here ! Your a good man indeed .Well, I have been kindly advised by Admin too.... that in this Warm & Fuzzy.... Coom By Aah World that we all now live in, I have to be very sensitive to every one & every thing on this planet & democracy is King ( "not freedom of speech !" ) I hope this introduction is going to do the job... so I can join you in bike related technical banter & I hope that I'm politically correct & being a devout Atheist I will try my hardest not to offend any grown ups or children , animals, non nationals or Trans Gender Vegan BLT Aliens .
Now thats out the way ...a little about me ! I'm from Enfield , North London , emigrated to South of Sydney, Australia 25 years ago ( that was a big mistake too !!! as it's terrible now & don't even bother come here for a holiday unless your surname is Trump ! ) I'm 61 years young in body & 21 years old in mind....I,ve been riding bikes continually since the age of 11 = ( 197 Francis Barnett & a Tiger Cub ..... it was on the dirt Officer -honestly mmmm ! ) & yes, I have a sore bottom now !
Currently I own a 1986 Base model K100 which I've owned since 86 , 2 Triumph 1050 Speed Triples , 1050 Triumph Sprint, Kawasaki Z1 , 2 Sr-500's , XT 500 , Ty250 Mmmm as most of you would have guessed by now....Yes , I'm single ! n strike me down & spank me with a wet lettuce leaf....as dare I say this Mmmmm " I do like Woman " they just don't like me or my life style !
I build my own bikes & motors ....always have done. I'm a retired Off- Shore commerical construction diver & did that for the last 20+ years of my working life & before that I was a self employed Heating Engineer, before that I was the manager a Kawasaki -Ducati- Moto Guzzi dealership in Enfield North London for 5 years.....prior to that I was professional Motorcycle Mechanic in various dealerships in North London inc Coburn & Hughe's for many years .
I used to race Sidecar Outfits in 70's & still enjoy my road bikes a great deal & unfortunately despite numerous lengthy hospital stays during my life , where you think i would n should have learnt a bit well nah - I still frequently push/thrash my bike's a bit too hard & it's gunna bite me again ..I know ! Such is life !!!! Nuff said . Over N Out. Johny Brando.
