Greetings from Cambodia.

Just recently got my hands on a K100 in PHnom Penh - hoping to pick up tips on maintenance and view samples of cafe conversions.

cheers

Thanks for the welcome.


You are right, hardly any K's in Cambodia before. However, I do think that there is a trend starting as there are now 5  affraid  (compared to none when I first arrived two years ago) that I have seen running around in the past few months. Safe to say that they were all brought in pre-owned in containers. 


Also, thanks for the link. Very inspiring indeed!

I think a K100 converts into a cafe very well.

It can only seat two customers to begin with, and where do you put the espresso machine? 











Sorry, welcome to the group.

Cool.  I rented a couple of 250s when I vacationed in Cambodia a few years ago. One in PP and another in Sihanoukville. I found riding in PP to be a hoot since there don't seem to be any real traffic laws there - other than survival.

I think having a K in Cambodia will be awesome for you. Very easy to outrun the police looking for $20 bribes on their 125s.

I have maintenance and mods here: http://classickbikes.com/ckb.tech/ckb.tech.toc.htm

Thanks. It sure is an awesome bike. Been on the lookout for it for quite a while - none in Vietnam (when I was stationed there prior to Cambodia) and super rare in Malaysia (where I actually come from).

Thanks. Cambodia has a certain charm that I cant seem to put my finger on. Its very different from Thailand or Vietnam.

I am sure there will be loads of questions once I start riding it on a more regular basis.


cheers
