Hi All. My name is Mike and I've just put a 1988 K100RS under the carport. Such is the small size of these coastal blocks in suburbia that I can't fit a garage.
I bought the bike from a guy in Mackay and road it back last Monday. 900k's after a 20 year break...I was fresh when I started but let me tell you I was glad to walk through the front door...even if it was into a hail of abuse from the Mrs.
I've two kids. One at Armidale studying Zooligy the other in Yr 10 studying XBOX
The bike went well. It averaged 5.06L/100k. 10 1/2 hours from Mackay to Warana. Lots of road works down the Bruce Hwy...though I enjoyed doing stretches at the road blocks.
I've a couple of issues to resolve. 1 is a weave from the back end in high angle lean corners 2 is a backfire / crackle occasionally when backing off from high revs 3 the odometer is not working.
Pictures and stuff forthcoming
Cheers, Mike
