Greetings!
« on: April 23, 2016, 10:21:29 PM »
I just found out about Motobrick today and immediately knew this is the place I needed to be!
I have a 1986 K100RS, now just a K100, sorry, I am allergic to fairings...

I am out for a bit as I tore my quadriceps off my left knee a month ago, I found out the quadriceps has a lot to do with standing, walking, shifting and other leg related activities.
Back to all the posts, some fine information here.

Welcome, ldrotpk!

Here's to your speedy recovery. How about posting a few pictures of your bike in the Klassic K section?

Here's to a speedy recovery, getting old sucks. My random health issues are almost as numerous as Ural's random mechanical issues.  Wish my knees were designed by brick engineers.

Can I post a photo of a picture of a Brough Superior that's glued on the outside of my lunchbox instead?

Thanks for the welcome!
As soon as I can find a picture that is not one of it somewhat disassembled, I will post it!
I have had the bike 3 years now and I am always messing with it, well the first year or so was sorting out what the PO did to it, or didn't do to it, maintenance wise.
Great bike!

Tom, Thanks for directing me here!

I just found this place myself.  Had an R75/5 and R90/6(kickstart) 30 years ago, had many bikes in the interim, and finally returned upon finding a  K1100RS in a garage in need of repair.  Sometimes I just sit and read about it. Learned a lot on here.
