New purchase in Austin TX
« on: December 13, 2015, 02:55:34 PM »
Hey everybody! I am coming from a Buell Uly that had a blown motor. I really love these K bikes. I am currently looking for my first. I will have lots of questions!
Thanks
Todd

welcome, Todd.  You've come to the right place.  Seems to be a lot of nice K's down your way.

Welcome, Todd.

There are several K-bikes on the Austin Craigslist. I like this one. All it needs is a fairing, so it says. Low miles! Could be only because it's been missing a little TLC, maybe some paint or a few trifling parts. You'll get an education in motorcycle mechanics and consumer awareness for one low price! :yikes:

Man! These bricks get around.  My Texas brick started out in Minnesota, did some time in Illinois, headed to Florida for a while, went to Texas for a couple years, and now is in New York.

And you haven't even mentioned her birthplace of Spandau!! My girl went from Dallas to Raleigh and then to Trenton, Ontario. There she sat for 9 years in a garage...sad story before being lovingly revived and coming to the Hammer....where I hope she'll be for a long time.
