Title: Greeting from the UK
Post by: piggy on February 10, 2013, 01:43:27 PM

Hi ladies and gents
I'm Simon but everyone calls me piggy. I'm 27 from the north of England an have had my K75rt for about 5 and half years now and I still love it...actually when i bought it my dad (a triumph man) said "you'll never have anything but bm's now". I've ridden the old girl through Spain once and France twice as well as all over the UK. It's a 93 with about 43k on the clock and plenty more waiting to go on :-) Mods wise I've converted it to a K1100 lt  top box with a bit of help from bmw to get hold of all the proper conversion kit (not as straight forward as i'd imagined), a comfort seat and a laminar lip on the screen. I also have a cheap megaphone exhaust (muffler) that i take off when touring as it's great for letting cars know you're there but WAY too loud when doing a lot of miles

I've also got a '98 7 speed cagiva mito, Honda c90 cub and a custom monkey bike.

I'm curious about the megephone exhaust... as I miss the noise of my past bikes. I believe it to be safer. I wonder what it would do to the overall performance, gas consumption and power...

Good looking bike.

Welcome to the forum Piggy. Nice bike you´ve got there! I´m curious about prices on the 1.st generation K´s in the UK. Do you feel they are going up? I am determined to get my K75S before the prices skyrocket, and I get to old.  :oldguy:

Welcome Piggy.  That's quite a nickname!  There must be a story there....
You've managed to fit quite a bit of "essentials" on your bike!  :eek:

How does your bike handle with all that kit piled on it?
