Hey guys
I'm new to the K bikes and BMWs in general. I've just purchased my first. It's an '85 K100RT. I'm 29 and located in Los Angeles. I've been riding my whole life. I got a YZ85 when I was 2 and a half but lived on the tank of my dad's TT500 before that. I grew up on top of the Ortega in southern Orange County in a family that raced so bikes and cars have always been a part of my life.
I bought this K100 with the intention of converting it into a cafe/track bike, but it runs pretty good and is the only bike with a fairing I've owned, so it has become a great commuter over the last month. I have about a 50 mile round trip to and from work each day. This is also the newest bike I own. I've never had anything injected or computer controlled in anyway. I'm mostly into older stuff, but I'm excited to learn about these bikes.
I'm sure I will have a ton of questions for you guys. I'm just glad there is a good community around these bikes. Thanks for having me.
