My new-to-me K1100LT finally has been delivered. With no small dose of optimism, I bought it on fleabay. The pix looked great; less than 22K miles on the clock; complete compliment of luggage; I couldn't say no.
After nearly two months, it was delivered. It arrived dusty and with a wet right front disk, but other wise it seems to be exactly as the former owner described it. I'm a very happy guy!
I sold my 1985 K100RS after I dropped it a couple of times. I decided I was too old and decrepit for such a heavy bike. Seller remorse soon overtook me and I began looking about for a replacement. Now, I'm the owner of a machine that is substantially heavier. This could be my downfall, but the wide bars and comfortable ergos suggest otherwise.
I have no service history on the bike, so I aim to go through it from stem to taillight. Oh, and the tires... it appears that, despite loads of tread, they may have come over on the Mayflower.
Let's see if I can post some photos.
