I was in the right place at the right time on a rainy, blustery weekend last Autumn when a chap wanted to sell his secondhand K1100RS. He wasn't riding it and his spousal unit wished he'd owned a Porsche so he could take his two, sub-ten year old boys for drives instead of potentially karking it on a nasty old motorbike.
Good luck, fall in my lap, please.
I've been storing it at work over the Winter and today got my first leg over when the sun came out on an otherwise soggy Saturday.
Don't that deep, deep blue look all perty like in the late arvo sunshine!?
Some might recall that forum member Duck owned this bike for a while, fitted cruise and LEDs throughout, and wrote an article (published elsewhere) about his cross-country ride from North Carolina aboard it. It's the one with the K1200LT motor hidden under K1100RS panels.
She growls alright, the cruise is an effortless, one touch affair, and the vibes are tamed due to massive Manic Salamander bar end weights and what I suspect was very careful tuning. I didn't buy it from Duck hisownself, but from the bloke he sold it to. A road report will follow after a blast over the mountain passes round here if the rain stays away for a day or two more.
