I'm Hugh from Suffolk England; lived here for some 15 years , longer than I've lived anywhere.
Been a biker most of my life, first bike BSA C11G, 250cc single, year 1954. Remember it well, flat out down hill with a tailwind 63 MPH max indicated with oil on my boots. With the passage of time there followed more BSA, Matchless, Ariel, Nortons but never my dream machine a HRD Vincent. With the arrival of the Japanese machines, Honda and mainly Kawasaki. We , that's the royal we, called them Tupperware machines, but my boots were clean!  In 1984 bought a K100RS, May 15th 1984; loved it and still do.  For a variety of reasons let it stand for some 12 to 14 years. Some 18 months ago decided it should be back on the road. I'd rebuilt British bikes why not a BMW? Fuel injection,ride by wire, not a clue. After a month or more still couldn't get it started, the fuel pump worked on the bench but not in the tank. Found a "paper" by one Crazy Frog who showed a layout diagram of the relay box .... it differed from the BMW Repair Manual. They, BMW were wrong! the bike is up and running  ready for the winter when I will start a major overhaul, just for fun. Have had great fun and some stress in getting it running, and have learnt so much; decided to join this Forum hoping that I can give a little, if only confidence, and take a little, have so much to learn.
Have fun

Hugh

Welcome to the forum. A 1984 from new is a great recommendation.

We are not so far away as to rule out meeting up at some point! Enjoy the forum and the fun side of it and you have learnt as we all there is doing things by the book and doing them the Forum way. You will get everything you need here.

If you are into a few little trips the West Country is very attractive and convenient to us, Wales even better and across the water from you there are quite a few active members in the Netherlands etc. A few little meet ups are nice over time.

Very Happy Hi there, Hugh !
Welcome to the community; enjoy reading (as I do !) and learning (..well, yes: as I do  Very Happy ). And the nice thing in here ? Every time I shut down the PC I'm smiling, these guys have a nice way explaining things, with some juicy humor every once and a while. I love it...

That must be the Aussie humor  Very Happy 


Welcome to the forum Hugh.
Yes we have our way to maintain the K bikes and it may not be fully in accordance to the BMW book. At least we keep them running and enjoy them as daily rides.
Enjoy the forum.

CF

Enjoy the forum.CF

That's right, sir  Very Happy 
Maybe I was the last one to discover this, but there's a kind vid on the Tube about one 'crazy frog', just doing the right stuff.
And that's yet another compliment !

Enjoy !

Welcome Hugh and thanks for the reminder to all about that character Crazy Frog!
Glad you got the K running due to his work on the 'net, he's a legend around here of course.
Please stay around to contribute your experiences with the K you have had for so long now.
As Jos said there is good and fun reading here for all who wish to learn and appreciate their bikes.
Nice vid Jos, that's our Bert for sure... 
Ghost
