Ciao a tutti,
(hello everybody) from a newly registered K100 enthusiast. I'm male, m.y. 1956, and live in Northern Italy. Ever heard about Parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar, blush Lambrusco and so on ? Well, I live right there.
Got my 1987 K100RS in May last year from a fellow biker living at about 200 Km (125 miles for non-metric members) from my hometown. Day I drove her home it was, guess what ? raining, and not a light springtime rain, it was the perfect storm. But I was so happy, a kid with a new toy to play with, I drove under the rain on the autostrada for over two hours, giggling like an idiot inside my helmet. This K100RS is my bike number two, she shares garage with a 1997 R1100RT, and my third BMW: from 1989 to 2002 I rode a 1985 K100RT.
I like to maintain my bikes myself, but I must admit I'm not such a good mechanic, so I research a lot on the web in the hope of learning something from other peoples experience and/or mistakes. That's how I met this forum, found it interesting and after spending some time here lurking, decided to register.
Ah, my nick is simply Italian for "flyingbrick" and, yes, I hope you all will forgive my poor English.
That's all by now.
Arrivederci
Giancarlo
