Title: The K bike virus (one bike will never do)
Post by: riots100 on March 19, 2017, 11:56:55 PM: I found this bike for sale and the virus kicked in. (Kpox ?) Just added a 2007 K1200GT to the mix.

I was very keen on finding a later K1100RS (with ABS2 and heated grips) I like the look of the K1100RS bike. In my opinion, it was one of the better BMW designs. But a good used one for the right price eluded me and I stumbled on this beauty for the right price.

The K1200 will do things that the K75 won't. And the K75 can do things that the K1200 won't. I know that it isn't a brick, but I'm keeping both of them just the same.

Post by: The Mighty Gryphon on March 20, 2017, 10:16:21 AM: I had it made at the local sign shop. I think the text was Ariel Black on a slant. When I took the artwork in, the guy in the shop was just finishing up some vinyl tank badges for another customer with an old airhead. He said he would do a set of four to go with my artwork for an extra 5 bucks. I had him do the blue parts with some blue Scotchlite material I had laying around. Total cost was something like $12.

Next time I need tank badges that's where I'm going. I can do 6 of them for less than what BMW wants for one.

LOL...i think all my car friends have a sign up sheet going to reserve the lift. the "parking meter" for the lift is my shop beer fridge. six pack of good IPA per hour is the rate.

Post by: Elipten on March 20, 2017, 10:49:57 PM: 6 pack per hour! Not much serious or safe work performed after 2 hours!

That is a seriously nice garage.
