Title: I'm happy to he here!
Post by: sembrando on March 06, 2013, 10:33:17 PM

Hello everybody,

I am very pleased to be a part of this forum, there's a lot of great info that I've been taking advantage of for a few months now and I finally made the plunge.

I'm a college student and a seminarian for the Roman Catholic Church. I'm also a ameteur motorcyclist and a proud owner of a K75RT since April 2012. This is my first bike and I'm so happy I went with it. It's pure chance I came upon it. I owned a Range Rover Classic (I miss her dearly), but I just couldn't afford the gas as a college student anymore (~15mpg) and I put it up on Craigslist for cash or trade. And it was on Craigslist that I started looking for a motorcycle. I had a few lowball offers, but then a gentleman called and asked if I'd be willing to trade for a motorcycle. It was a grey K75RT with 87k on the clock. I grabbed it and never looked back.

The bike is in a rough physical condition, but runs like a top (and I was told it would do this incessantly for many thousand miles). The windshield is missing, the fairing is cracked and repaired in many places. The other plastics aren't too bad. It's definitly been around the block. Nevertheless I don't want any other bike right now. Though I would like to slowly improve this one as money allows.

Thank you all for all the information. I look forward to learning more about k-bikes and being a part of this community.

Welcome,

Plastics and repairs? I know that feeling.
Windshields may be acquired, new or not.
87K,? Not even halfway there!
Congrats on tripling your gas mileage.
Good luck on the studies and the journeys.
