Hi, everyone. It seems about time I introduced myself in this space. I just checked my profile and I've been registered since last May, but have only posted a couple times.
I've owned minibikes and motorcycles off and on since I was a kid, and had been riding a 1975 Honda CB550 for the last 18 years or so until getting my K75 two years ago. (That Honda is collecting dust now and getting a bit jealous.) It probably speaks to my relative inexperience with the K-bike that I do so much more reading and digesting here than posting. I trust this will change over time. . .
I want say that I'm extremely grateful to all who share problems and solutions in this forum. This really is the best english-language K bike forum that I've found--all are genuinely helpful and friendly.
My favorite parts are the 'how-to' and the tutorials. They've been very helpful to me, even though I ride a K75--many more similarities to the K100 than differences.
This forum has helped sustain me through a particularly long winter season of maintaining (and staring at) my bike. I confess to more than a bit of jealousy when reading about our friends in the Southern hemisphere and their long (never ending?) riding season. I live in upstate New York where we do have an abundance of terrific roads/terrain/scenery, until the roads get icy and salted.
Special thanks to Bert for the creation and care of this great resource!
