A 53 year old Greek journalist, (twice married, no kids) says hello and wishes everyone the best!
In search of stability (in an unstable country) and a firm grip on how things should roll, (which they are not at the moment) I opted again for a BMW, this time a K 100 LT (1988). (Plus, the likelihood, of having to buy one soon in Drachmas instead of Euros weighed on my decision...).
As far as the make is concerned, I started off -a few years (decades) back- with an R 27, (fitted previously with a side car), moved on to an R 60/7 and then on to a R 100 RS. Regretted having sold any one of them, for a series of different reasons...
Thus, this one, I will try to hold on to....
Despite its size and its age, it is a handsome beast. Spares (second hand) are hard to come by, in my neck of the woods, and one of the reasons I joined this forum is exactly that. The very day I bought it I trashed the left mirror and was lucky enough to have found one -of the two- being sold in Greece currently (please laugh your hearts out...). So you can imagine what may happen if we move on to more serious spare parts...
So -to cut a long story short- this is who I am. A middle aged guy, living in a ruined land, holding on to what ever is worth holding and can still be saved.
Nice to be with you!
