Hi all,

New k100 rider here. Light Truck edition. It was my fathers bike. He is in his 80’s now. Got too heavy for him. Still riding, just smaller/lighter.

I’m based in the south Denver metro area, Colorado. I also have an r1200c. Also used to be dads, then my brother had it. But he has a bad back and had to stop riding.

Both bikes sat a few years before coming to me. They are both up and running again (well almost, they were but I’m rebuilding k100’s oil/water pump, it just started leaking)

I work, or used to, in the entertainment industry as a live audio and communication engineer. Hopefully the business comes back soon, but in the mean time I’m findi odd jobs to keep the bills paid and the bikes running .

Thanks in advance for maintenance and repair questions I’m sure to ask here.

Welcome John

Hi John:

Welcome to the forum.  It's been a useful source for me as I too bring a K-Bike back from the "brink".  

I too live in central denver, and my bike is a barn-stored K100RT that I've recently received and gotten running.  Haven't ridden much - too cold - but expect to get riding soon now that the Bike and I are both back from 6 months in NC.

Maybe we can find enough K-bikers in Denver to have a ride some day soon - there's another member in Boulder...
