So I bought this K75s about 5 weeks ago. It seemed to run ok although I noticed a loose fairing and stuffed steering head bearings. Did some maintenance to get it up to operational requirements.
My Mother In Law stayed with us of the Christmas period so I made sure the bike was prepped. We left her on Nanna duties while me and the wife took off for a quick run around 2 states, caught up with a few friends and picked up my new to me set of tragkorbs for the bike.
The route
We left home about 5pm and headed up to Wedderburn for the evening. It was still 40c + deg when we left… damn hot for the 300km ride north.
Sunset just on approaching Wedderburn
the following day,out in the Mallee country we head
Nice little town of Sealake for refreshments
Arrived at Loxton and had birthday beers while the bike kept good company
Left my friends house and chased him down to Waikerie which is a well known gliding centre here in Oz.
Some of the vineyards as we passed through the Barossa Valley
then down to Adelaide where there were massive fires in the hills. No loss of human life but lots of animals lost as well as property.
We are still almost 100km from the fires. The smoke haze gives an idea of the size
Then onto the picturesque town of Victor Harbour and surrounds where I picked up my new tragkorbs. These originally came off an R100RT. I'll respray them when time permits.
