Hello everyone, I'm Sam 25 living in Bristol, United kingdom I purchased a k100Rs 1984 as my second large bike after passing my motorcycle test. The first was an er5 that was given to me for free to watch over (ended up getting run over by a 4x4).
Anyway I purchased a k100 rode it around had fun then killed the clutch, replaced the clutch myself following the haynes manual and a friends garage, then did a day trip on it to France. Here I am on French soil with the k100.
That was a great bike however some idiot decided to steal it more on that later. I then replaced this with an R1100RS which was one of the worst bikes I've ever ridden (just wasn't any fun). This was replaced again with another k100Rs 1989. Great bike image of it below however after having the back end slide out and then a tank slapper I crashed heavily at 80mph. Only came off with a twisted foot I was lucky bear in mind I slid 50ft the bike 200ft.
Right so after this I went to an xj600 but back to the bike that was stolen. I did get this back. Below is an image of what it looked like; yeah it's trashed.
Well after a lot of work surprising how much this is what she is looking like now. I've decided to go down the modified bike route instead of the cafe racer. More work to be done I have bigger plans.
So that's that she does have a plaque on her swing arm that is from a Canadian apparently her old owner shipped her over to America ridden to Canada for the show then shipped her back.
May have a few questions soon but I'll leave this her for now.
Cheers sam.
