Hi All
I've been remiss with writing an intro since I joined but I've found a few spare minutes to correct that
I'm the (sometimes) proud owner of a 1984 K100 which, when I got it ( 2007) had lain basically unattended but under cover for some 9 years.
Having stripped it, cleaned it, greased/oiled it, stuck it back together, it ran and so was MOT'd , taxed and entered use in 2008 ( I think lol)
I don't think I could have done a very good job in prepping it as there always seems to be something going wrong with it or maybe I just don't treat it right or as I'd rather beleive, after sitting so long unused , there's going to be a big list of 'little' hassles to be dealt with. I've only put 6000 miles or so on her but I'm hoping I may be coming to the end of the running in period which will allow me to eventually turn my attention to cosmetic matters ( ie respray)
I'd like to thank all the members here, and the owner(s?) for providing a fantastic reference area and great guides to assist me with my past present and more than likely, future tasks on this bike
Here's to you all !
