New member from Poland
« on: January 03, 2021, 06:37:50 PM »
Hello everyone! In the November I've bought a 1986 K75C, manufactured in West Germany. I'm really lucky her previous owner (great guy!) loved her will all his heart and really took care for. He rode it for 12 years! With the bike he gave me a lot of spare parts and a full documentation. As a bonus, with the tragkorbs he also gave me waterproof made-to-measure bags which fit perfectly. I can't tell how happy I am! As you can see the windshield is not original - he made it himself as he is a model maker. She's made 167k kilometers so far and I'll pump those numbers up! Currently I'm working on changing her appearance to be more scrambler-ish.
As for me, for two years I've been riding 1997 Suzuki GN 125 "Marla" which I love. In the end of the October I've got my bike driving licence which is why I wanted something bigger to ride!

Interesting auxiliary lights on top of the front turn signals.

Thanks! I'm really lucky not only to get the bike in great condition but also to meet such great guy as previous owner, who not only knows the bike like a back of his hand, but also offered me help in case anything breaks!

Czesc! Previous owner added them, and as he said, it wasn't really good idea. They don't improve visibility that much and they look odd.

Kopia,
I was born in Hradec Králové, CSSR (that's been a while) and we did speak Czech at home, so Polish is not unfamiliar to me
Cześć!
