I,m Ralph and I live in Nottingham,UK.
I,ve ridden BMW bikes before,mainly a R65 and an R80 that I used as courier bikes in the early 90s.
I stopped riding in 1994 after all the kids had arrived and went over to cars.
But a period of unemployment meant I could,nt afford a car but a cheap bike was an option.
Now I,m back in employment and have bought a rather down at heel K100RS.
This was the pin up bike of my late teens and now I,ve finally got one.
But I despute the 30k claimed mileage.This thing has done double that...for sure.
Either that or its spent ten years living in the sea!!
I,m about 70% done with making it a very useable bike again.All the plastics have gone to paint and the seat is off to RK Leightons in Birmingham,early next week.So,watch this space,I,ll pop a few pics up once its all back together.
