Welcome to the forum.
As for the bug...well my first K was when somebody said I should try one, in 2010. So I did. Unfortunately it was one that was for sale so the inevitable happened.
A few years later 2013 another one came up.....the darn thing came with a mate!!
Then I went one year to France 2017 and someone told me a K was for sale.....
Then 2018 the person who had that one for sale happened to ask me if I knew anyone interested in a K that lived not far from me.....Yep I did.
Somebody recently asked me had I any trouble selling the old Ks........Naïve blighter....
Someone has recently had the audacity to suggest I should have a K1. I am aware of one locally that's been hidden away and hasn't seen light of day for many many years so now I am pondering but have to fix my shed first.......The RS had lived very near me and I had seen it out a few times despite it only doing 7,000 miles in 12 years. Its now in active service.
Thing is, the forum makes it easy to maintain them, buy parts selectively and you are sorted. Of course with interchangeability having another K is rather too easy.
