My name is Jack and I live in las vegas, nv..."sin city"...yup. I moved here 5 yrs ago bikeless. sold all my bikes when I moved here from Wi sconsin. my fav bike of all times was a 99 k1200 lt...rode that thing all over the country, but needed the money for the move. there were others that got sold before I left the "10 months of winter" state to sunny and frivolous las vegas...a k1200s (very neat bike but way too fast for these old bones), a 99 Vulcan (I bought it 'cuz my daughter thought I should have a cruiser..."you're too old for that fast stuff, dad")...a 2003 v-rod that I thought I should have because I lived near Milwaukee (forget everything they told you about Harleys never losing their value...I lost my ass on that investment). there were others, but not to bore you with stupid details...
anyway, after moving myself to tinsel town, I got an old '82 gold wing...nice bike, but kinda boring. sold that one, found an r1100rs in mint condition, except it needed ( I thought) a clutch, but it was so cheap...($2000) and so nice. now I'm buried in that one because a clutch replacement in an old bmr is not cheap if you have a dealer do it. oh my god...I am rambling again. anyway, now I have an 85 k100rs (finest year, and all that), a Yamaha venture royale (money pit, but I LOVE that bike), the aforementioned 94 r1100rs, and an 03 fjr1300 (I love the horsepower). Yes, I'm a bit of a fanatic, my car stays in the garage most of the time...and the bikes are a hassle to keep up with (but here, I can ride them all year!), but I'm an old guy, so I can be somewhat eccentric. learning all the time and discovering that after 66 years, I'm really a dummy about motorcycle technical stuff...so when I ask stupid questions on this website, it's not because I'm trying to be funny, it's because I REALLY DON'T KNOW. please forgive me. anyway, that's me in a nutshell, so to speak. I love old bikes! I'm considering a total restoration on the old K. that's why I'm here. nice that someone, like you, decided to come up with this website. Maybe I can learn how to do this???
