Autumn greetings from the Isle of Man
« on: November 03, 2015, 02:01:25 PM »
Howdy folks,

New here & thought Id say hello. Not new to bricks though. Had 4 RS's since 1989 (3 x '87's & this 1990 16v).

I've had the current one for around 6 years but hadn't ridden it enough since I bought a Ducati Monster 1100evo. In fact my plan was to get the K running nice again & sell it as it was just taking up space in the garage, but now it's running well I've fallen in love with it all over again.

The two bikes are so different I think it just takes a while to recalibrate.

Anyway, the 16v aint going anywhere. I'm loving it right now.   :riding: :2thumbup:

Yes - welcome bonzo ... a tad of autumnal grime may offset the blackness ..?

jensk, I was experimenting with a late 1970's cb radio set up - but it proved a tad weighty  :falldown:
