I brought home a 1983 K100C yesterday. A chap tapped me on the shoulder at Spa and asked if my Flying Brick was a K100,when I replied yes he asked me if I wanted to buy another. I told him I was interested,a deal was done and I collected it yesterday morning.
WHAT WAS I THINKING?
Buyers remorse has now set in,it's not beyond restoration but I've just had months on my Brick and as it's not fully developed,there's more to do yet.
The brakes are seized and the pads had expanded so much,brute force was required to get them out. The frame needs refinishing as does everything else. The petrol tank is FULL of melted rubber and sticky residue.-when will I ever learn??
Against everything I wanted to expect,I've had it running and the motor is sweet and the gearbox seems OK-ish.
Now then,where's my eBay sellers page!
