Hello



I've just agreed to buy a 1987 K100rs. I already have a few bikes, but this is my first BMW.



I'll post some pics once it has been delivered (it's 500 miles away) and let you know what it's like Very Happy

Welcome Oldie.....Seems there is a large number of undiscovered K bikers in Scotland.....

Now what you do next is pop on to a ferry and get yourself to Belfast in time for a run on 22nd September.....ComberJohn has a nice route worked out for us.

Wow thats very handsome indeed.

So is the K bike and the CLC behind. My son fancies one of those, calls all the others grandfather bikes. Still, they wear grandfather shirts.

Yep, well infected is more like it. I call it Kpox and there is no cure and can only be controled by the acquision of more and more K bikes.

Oldie, hope you enjoy riding and getting to know your new bike before the winter weather arrives. Very Happy

There's so much information to found on this forum and lots of great members all over the world who will quickly have answers to any problems you might have.

I've had my 1986 K100RT for over 24 years and feel confident that should I need any help I know where to find it.

By the way, don't forget to renew the road tax on the K100RS (I see that it expired yesterday) and wouldn't want you getting one of those nasty £80 automatic fixed fine letters from the DVLA.

Bill

Well, my infatuation with the K has only lasted a mere 3 months - she gets sold tomorrow Sad



I couldn't ride for more than 100 miles without my wrists getting uncomfortable due to the forward lean. I investigated various solutions but I knew that this wasn't the bike that would take me across Europe so I've bought a '98 Triumph Trophy instead. Sad, really, as the bike was in perfect order.



There's every chance that I'll get an LT at some point, but I'll ride one first just to make sure. So, I'll still be reading the forum posts every day as usual Very Happy
