New to bmws
« on: August 18, 2025, 05:00:19 PM »
I am new to bmws but not motorcycles. Started riding in 1972 with a norton commando. I currently have a 72 norton that i restored a 91 honda st1100 and have been given an 85 K100RS along with another brick parts bike and more extra parts. I am a retired auto mechanic specializing in automatic transmissions along with some engine machine shop time.

Welcome aboard. You'll be bored with how easy these bricks are to work on and maintain. Much easier than a tranny rebuild. Cheers

1985 was 40 years ago?  That ain't right!

Think of a K bike as a car on two wheels.

Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.
