Hello from Cali Noobe
« on: August 24, 2012, 05:56:23 PM »
Hello all, I worked through highschool at a BMW dealership but never was allowed to ride the bikes but always wanted one. My dream bike is a R1200GS Adventure but a friend of mine and past boss at the shop is loaning me his late father's 1991 K100LT for as long as I want. Not exactly what I wanted but it is a bike so I just wanted to say Hi and I am sure I will have many questions once I get it. BTW I am 35 now and just sold my V-Strom 650 so I am not new to bikes just to the brick.

Thanks to those that replied. I have never been on a big touring bike so it should be interesting. He is loaning my wife a Buell Blast for her first bike so should be fun. I can't wait to get the K home to see what options it has and work it might need. His father was short and I am tall so I am hoping it is not the factory low model.

If you do have the low seat there are lots of people that will gladly trade with you.

If the owner is really only "loaning" him the bike, trading seats my not be an option as yet.
