Again and again!
« on: March 26, 2017, 04:42:16 PM »
Hi all,
I write from Paris, France. I am back again into the brick world!
After a  r80 G/S, I bought my first RS as a used bike in 1997 and loved it. I then transformed it into an LT after a crash. Then sold it. Back to flat twins , one or two...
I  then bought a naked K75. Loved the lightness of the coffee grinder for slalom in Paris. But then I sold it too. Bought a few more flat twins a back to brick with a K1.
Super loved that one, I used it for freeway driving up to 1000km in one shot. A real rocket, heavy but so stable a pleasant to drive.
Sold it because the steering  in town and the driveshaft were making it uncomfortable to drive.
I went back to flat twins with a GS Basic from 1996 and a R69s.
Was happy with that until last week when I spotted this add: a K75 Ultima with 25.000 km!!!!
Could not resist... I went to the center of France and brought it back home, 300 km of freeway with a big smile.
Here I am!

welcome back!  had to google Ultima,  looks like that's the RT version over here.  K75's are a hard habit to shake, glad I've kept mine the past three decades along with other bikes that come and go
