Hi Mike welcome to our little corner of the www.  I am sure we can sort your problem out, we haven't been defeated yet and there has been some very hard puzzles to solve.

 Hi there, Mike !
Very welcome, and: just try the 'search'-option ? My guess is that most of the issues you may encounter have already been answered / solved somewhere !
There are lots of great members over here, always someone 'online'  and willing to help / think with you.
Keep us posted and, before someone else does, I'd like to ask you for a pic of your bike ?(Just toggle/hover the toolbar above the textfield to find out how to link a photo. It´s simpel...)
 
Thank´s in advance and: enjoy !

Hi Mike

I think I'm going to have to change my name to Mike soon - there seems to be a growing number of Mikes in the UK contingent.

Anyway, welcome to the forum - as the others say, you should be able to find all the answers and advice you need on this site.  Slow and steady wins the day every time - if in doubt, a little research and arming yourself with knowhow is better than old fashioned brute force and ignorance (and regret).

Rest assured, the effort should be worth it and you will have a bike that you will enjoy just getting out and about on. I took my bike across into Wales yesterday (I ride all year round, so any day is a "good weather day" - some are just better than others) and had a cracking good ride around the Brecon National Park. Some fantastic twisty roads and virtually car free. I failed to plan in a decent country pub stop over for lunch though and my hope of finding one (open) was in vain! Still 260 miles and still smiling/able to walk at the end of it is a true measure of the comfort of the K100's. I am waiting on slightly better camping weather before I venture as far north as you, but I will be aiming for Snowdonia and Anglesey for one of my ride outs.



Enjoy your bike and good luck with your restoration.

Hi Mike and welcome too. We are not at all far from you and plenty of good pubs up the hills.

Paul, keep us posted on this. A few Irish Eccentrics mentioned a camping trip to Wales and there is the making of a little encounter here. I have covered a lot of Wales and love the place. I fancy some steam trains too and one of my favourite routes was in from Holyhead, Capel, Curig, Betwys y Coed and more. We have plenty of ferries and a July trip might be in order......just a thought. If you guys feel like a ferry trip across to us we will roll out the red I mean green carpet for you. You could come in Holyhead and go out Pembroke/Fishguard.....we know a few nice places too.

I thought everyone was called Mike. MyK does this, I like MyK, where is MyK?

92KK - sure thing. A July trip sounds like the start of a plan, it would be great to give Mike a hard target to aim for and see how many of the UK contingent we could persuade to swarm into Northern Wales. 

I haven't tried camping with  MyK (  ) but there's plenty of time for a few trial runs to see what I can pack in. As for the Emerald Isle....well, I am in the serious stages of coming over in April (sometime during week of 14 - 21 Apr). If any of the Irish Eccentrics are meeting that week, then it would be great to meet up. I would be getting the Fishguard / Rosslare ferry and heading to Cork (still got a date with the Blarney Stone) and out west to Killorglin. No firm plans yet on route or duration - so open to suggestions.
