Hi guys , Bob here from Hout Bay , near Cape Town RSA .
Been riding for a few decades . cheaper than therapy . unforunatly i cannot seem to sell off bikes but i have a understanding partner who also rides and so we do it together . we do projects together m i do the mechanicals and she does the bodywork , painting . we spend time together around the garage thn when the bike is sorted we cannot sell it off so we just ride them all . have around 35 or so bikes . all have to run . and after a ride they have to be cleaned before they are put away . they get used on a rough rotation so they all get turns.
Annie has just been through cancer treatment , chemo radiation then chemo tablets . was rough on her but she keeps smiling . getting stronger now and she is starting to have short rides on some of the lighter bikes .
we dont have a k bike yet . never ridden one . bmw we have are - a f650 funduro ,
r80 g/s 81 model with a 1000cc kit , deeper sump , unleaded conversion , great favourite of mine ,
a 2005 R 1100S , Bumble bee as they are the fastest ,
2021 r nine t Racer .
my surname is Koning,so always liked and wanted a K1 . (naturally)
found 2 for sale and was just looking . one guy with blue one changed his mind about selling so i took
it as a sign it wasent going to happen .
But Annie , logically , gave the speach about , seize the day , live your best life , stuff covid , stuff cancer , get the bike and enjoy it .
so we bought a red and yellow K1 with 25k on it . been well looked after, got a spare front mudguard and the soft luggage .
paid for it , he has taken it for roadworthy and removed the number plate and im flying 800km tomorrow with my helmet to get it and ride it home . so - roadtrip . hopefully we will click together .
