Greetings fellow enthusiasts, I am known as Gadgitman.
« on: January 11, 2017, 07:57:49 PM »
I have been a motorcycle enthusiast since my first ride on a Honda at 13 years old. I have owned many different makes, models and sizes and now have my first BMW. Purchased wrecked but running on Craigslist on the cheap I now have most of the bugs worked out and like it enough I want to buy another one, newer and pristine!
I look forward to learning more about these wonderful machines from this great pool of knowledge!
More later

. . . wrecked but running . . .
Welcome, Gadgitman. That's how we make them here. You buy one that's pristine you'll have a hard time getting it running. :giggles
Let's have a group ogle at the bike and its blessed owner!

I would love to post pictures but I am afraid this is one of those sights that make it a bit of a pain.
I do post pictures of my bikes on my websites and on my google+ communities.

I don't like having to create another account on another website with another password just to put a picture up. Maybe one day I will have time to learn how to post a picture easily here like I did with my Dnepr on the Russian Iron forum.
Thanks

Being able to work the bugs out of a K yet have pain uploading photos to this site is an enigma to me. Good luck with your bike.

Welcome! 

It looks like you are coming down with a case of the Kpox.  It all starts when you find out how pleasant they are to work on, and how well they respond to a little TLC.  That they are so reasonably priced these days makes it hard to resist getting "just one more".

Hmm ... what I meant to say is, the asylum isn't really from OZ, but rather it is/was based in Cheesekonson.
