Greeting from San Francisco Bay Area
« on: July 09, 2020, 07:41:57 PM »
Warmest greeting to all of you! I think it is a perfect time to introduce myself :-) . I've registered on the website a while back and have been quietly lurking around reading different posts.

I am Al and I live in beautiful San Francisco CA. More than a year ago I became an owner of the true unicorn and really unique brick K100RS with turbo kit installed on it by RB RACING and I have been really enjoying this bike ever since.

Here is the short video of the bike:  

It is a great pleasure joining the motobrick fam. Cheers!

Awesome brick Flyspur. With that much power, you should be rippin' dank nooner's down Market Street!

Thank you guys! :-)

I am not an aggressive rider overall. But I like sometimes to twist the throttle to feel the horses :-D .

Nice, not too many turbos around anymore, especially ones that run!

Flyspur, you may already know this loop, but it's my all time fav in any country:
101 to Santa Rosa
12W to Sebastopol (weird neo-hippie community)
116 N to Jenner on Hwy1 (used to get Red Abs all along there)
N on 1 to Stewarts Pt. (small sharp Rt turn-off)
Skaggs Spring Rd all the way back to Geyserville at 2-3rd gear turns with lot's of grinnin'

Occasionally, I'd see pro-cycle teams training on these roads, and give them a little draft at 25mph for a breather. :)
