First of all - I don't have a K100RT. I have a K75 but they very pretty much the same bike. Our bike is -89 and it's an ex Swedish police bike. Our "Sunday-bike" is a Honda CX 500 -81 (made 20.12.1980). 

Second - I'm sorry that I can't write better English, it's my third foreign language.

"Oma Aika"? It's "My Time" in Finnish.

I usually ride with my wife Viivi and we take quite a lot pics, and they are published in our blog www.vanhamoto.net . At the moment weather in Finland is bad for riding and probably will be till April so at the momenet there are no new ride-reports coming but every now and then other stories - in Finnish. There is a "Translate this site" button on upper right corner of every page but I know it's not very good at all. On the other hand, pics don't need translation!  Very Happy 

Only pics: http://www.vanhamoto.net/p/kuvia.html 
Rides as picture stories in reversed chronological order: http://www.vanhamoto.net/p/ajoreitteja.html 

Viivi and our bike called Wagner:

You are both very welcome to the forum. The K75 is very much part of the forum too, so don't feel left out. There are quite a few K75s on the forum.

So what do you call your rideouts? Ride of the Valkyries?

I suppose you should call the other bike Mahler and your car Einaudi for the sake of completeness.

If you like to travel you will be very welcome in Ireland.

You're most welcome here and it is good to have you along for the ride. That is a very nice K75.

Actually we have here a popular comic strip called Viivi&Wagner - it's about a woman whose man is a hog. So as both my wife Viivi and the CX have two large bulges in their middle part, the bike is called Viivi II... When we bought that BMW she was thinking if it should be called Ben II. It obviously wasn't a woman. But the second thought was Wagner... Viivi&Wagner.

Beside of those mentioned pages (homepage and ride pictorials), there are some special pages:
- Service and maintenance - I wonder if the translator makes anything sense... http://www.vanhamoto.net/p/bmw-k75-huolto.html 
- happenings in pictures: http://www.vanhamoto.net/p/happeningit.html 
- off topic pictorials are... off topic: http://www.vanhamoto.net/p/off-topic.html

Blog is of course about (old) motorbikes and cars, happenings etc, but if there is anyone interested in women's clothing there are two pages showing Viivi's clothes:
- all kind of clothes http://www.vanhamoto.net/2012/12/off-topic-villa-nahka-ja-pvc.html  (newest)
- leather clothes http://www.vanhamoto.net/2012/06/nahkaa.html

Welcome, interesting blog. I didn't realize that the ugly duck ( CX ) could be photographed in so many provocative positions.

Thanks for everyone!

(Actually that's not n K75S but K75 - S has a bit different engine)

It looks just like a regular K75 looks but it didn't look like that when it was born:
