Just saying hi. I'm pretty much new to motorcycles. I bought an old Honda v30 from a friend of mine last summer so that I could have a smaller easy to learn on machine. I was looking for an old Gold Wing or something like that when I found the k100. What have I become?
Anyway I got her for $2k and put a new set of Metzler's on her and a new rear shock. The guy I got her from bought her back in '92 and has only put 5500 miles on her in over 20 years. Sounds crazy eh? She currently has 33k miles - man she's beautiful.
I've managed to figure out that the side kick stand should only be used during the summer for EPA approved mosquito fogging events. She's got some issues and minor cosmetic flaws but she's awesome!
