No matter how odd, esoteric, or niche our various interests might be, the internet is living proof that none of them are entirely without jerks. Oh, well.

Best post so far ! True !! Pretty sure this all started with a question and some regular came in flaming me for saying "carbs instead of throttle body " then his interweb friends came to the rescue ! 🙄 The fact that this thread has almost 300 views in a day and others with legit questions have like 10 speaks volumes

Thanks for posting that photo of #69.  I always wondered what a brick looks like when it's only 200 miles from the scrap heap.

Where did you go pro ? You are one of my favorites why didn't you get flamed for posting the wrong throttle cable with all your years experience ? But what do I know I only track  build ride and not hung up on one manufacturer !  I wouldn't expect someone that knows so much to understand the bike I built in tribute to a tracker and GP rider that just passed away RIP.  Only your opinion and your fellow BMW enthusiast opinions matter anyway right ?  Flame 🔥 People that don't think like you or share your opinion 👍 After all I'm thank full for you People other wise the bike I spent 2k on then sold the cosmetics for 700 bucks would still be sitting in my garage 😂  Flame on soldiers 👍😘

Anyway in the interest in helping people with questions as I believe is the original reason for this  forum I fixed the problem  on the "throttle body side where the plastic collar is that fits into the bracket  there is also a plastic internal sleeve that goes around the actual cable.  This " plastic sleeve slid down and was binding on the bracket  I slid it back into the throttle cable and issue solved  . I originally thought this was a protection from the "throttle body part where the knob of the cable hooks into  but guess not.  If it wasn't for the amazing  "regulars " here with there 4000 post and help I would of never figured this out . Thanks for the amazing help and will for sure post more questions to get  chat room bullsgit replays 👍😂😘 o and I'm here to stay. Lmao apparently the mods think some of these dudes are DB also cause they didn't ban me for smack talking the BMW motobrick gangsta club 😘

wow.. you do know that the jerk referred to was you, right?

you need to get a life.  my original post was not in any way a flame.  i was pointing out the fact that the bike doesn't have carbs.  if you speak like you know what you are talking about and are clear on what you need, the help is usually better. 

thread getting a lot of reads as we are all amused at how rude and abusive a newbie trying to get help for free is.  only took you about 3 posts to start insulting people.  must be some sort of internet record.  quite entertaining.  i imagine you are the darling of all the forums you are on!    sheesh.   

K-bye Troll.

. Ahaha nooooo , you were talking about me ? I would of never know.  Sarcasm much ?  Help for free ? LoL  actually this is the only forum ever had trouble on and I know the game. Regulars on forums like these always have a " I'm a regular so I'm the man " complex.  I'm actually very internained at the rise I have gotten out of some of these dudes "you " I'm sure this is the most fun some of you have had in a while.  I'm glad I could bring excitement to your life's.  And I'm sorry I don't have more OEM products on my "perfectly good machine "  but I'm a builder not a buyer !  And ps don't act like you were "just pointing out that it didn't have carbs " you were clearly trying to talk smack make fun and cause I gave it back to you and  your cronys everyone got in a tiff 😂 Bet some of you even pmed each other and called one another. The bullocks !  Piece and love. Creat build ride ! A real motorcycle rider apriciets all forms and motorcycles and creations doesn't smack on someone for doing something different. As I posted earlier other wise we would all still be riding bicycles !  It's the intereeb kids  get a grip !

[Sinner73]

Bikes done and sold already ! 😜 Imagine the surprise when I tell the customer that "the mighty gryphon " says it's going to scrap in 200 miles !! He's going to be so upset. Guess he should of just went and got a Ducati scrambler off the show room floor so he could look like every other hipster ! 😜


 Just a couple things to piss off the OEM bandits on here. Made my own rearsets   Subframe  and a bunch of other shit  even painted it  ! Wish I new something about motorcycles like you 3000 posters ! the blasphemy !! 😜😘


 What a POS !!!  RIP 69 you will be missed ! No one threw a bikes rear end around better before traction controls !

[Sinner73]

greetings...

you dont mean that... we gotta genuine 5150 here with a queered-out brick that wants to be and let be...

[Sinner73]

If I new how to ride like you gangstas I would ride like this dude on the jap bike ! Wait that is me 😁🤔

[Filmcamera]

You do good work.  I like the exhaust, love the color of the frame and wheels and think the rearsets look nice, I especially like the subtle way the seat follows the line of the frame, not like the clown shoes most guys end up putting on.

You clearly know your shit - so why the huge chip on your shoulder?

you dont remember me from club med turkoise do you...

Thanks brother I appreciate the complements  , I can't take Credit for the exhaust as I bought it but I def wanted it to flow with the sub frame and have more of a " dirt bike look so I set out to find a high hanging exaughst . This is my first BMW build and it was a lot of fun ! I really wanted the new BMW blue on the 1100 r and BMW alpine white  but it was so expensive I just went with duplacolor pre mixed. But the blue still came out great !  I welded that sub frame on top of the original frame so I didn't hack the og frame up  there is a really cool k75 simalure to what I made that I kind of followed but made my own tweaks . I don't have a chip  I just came in with a legit question for some help from people that know these bikes well and right out the gate dude crowned me so I gave it back to him and before I know it every other regular started in so I just gave what I got back to them  . I clearly know the bike doesn't have carbs but was frustrated and posted quick as you can tell from my typos I'm not a internet  savvy person and use my phone to post and when someone gives me shit in real life I don't take it so why take it here ? I'm actually pretty cool then started getting flamed for creating something  that some don't agree with  😎 lol but what ever it's the internet

[Sinner73]

greetings...

you dont remember me from club med turkoise do you...

j o

I think I do. I posted about going there and asked how it was and you responded right ?  Thanks no one really responded. I decided to go to the body holliday in June when they host a "solo traveler month " in st Lucia . It is significantly more expensive then club med Turks  but I think I will have more people my age 👍

It's Kind of like I've built and ridden bikes for years and cause I didn't use the right terminology some dude is going to act like I'm a idiot when I probably know a heck of a lot more then him ? If he didn't want to help don't post a dumb response That's a Douch move  and I hate people that  act that way on forums  and in life  Everyone started some where and someone helped them learn so  no reason to clown someone. That's where I'm coming from !

Well I have been on this site for a little over a year now, I came here because I had just purchased my first ever BMW after 20 years not riding bikes. I had zero experience of doing any work on my own bikes ever.

So yes I made lots of mistakes and asked tons of stupid questions.

For that I received a certain amount of stick but what I got on top of that was all the help I needed to get my bike back on the road myself. For that I thank everyone here and can deal with eating a small amount of shit every now and then when I do or say something especially dumb!

The regulars on this site do what they do and offer the help they offer not to show off, not to be know it alls and not because they are full of the milk of human kindness.  They do it because they love the brick.  I have no doubt whatsoever that between them they have saved dozens of bikes from the wreckers yard. 

So may I humbly suggest you listen to what they have to say, reject it by all means if you wish, they are not always right after all, but realise that people who come on the forum being rude, uncouth and who can't spell are likely to get people's back's up.

Good luck with your future builds.

. Most of these dudes should take notes from your response   It's the first   Respectful and at the same time critical post in this thread and I respect where your coming from . I spell like shut but I also don't proof read or correct things I could. Cause I simply don't care   I'm not on a spelling forum so if that is a "gage" of my knollage or intellect then so be it 😂  I would totally listen I asked the question to listen to someone that is familiar with the set up however I didn't get much help but a lot of shit cause I didn't follow the rule of thumb that I'm new here so I need to put up with it .   Anyway  it's all good bro thanks for your input and being a stand up guy 👍

Um, actually, I was referring to you. Stating the fact, in so many words, that K bikes don't have carbs is not "flaming". It's simply stating the truth. Was it absolutely necessary? Maybe not, but it was certainly not mean spirited or harmful, and if you didn't like it you could have easily ignored it. If you are so thin skinned that something like that sets you off, then maybe this forum, and the Internet in general, aren't for you.


You mention that you "spell like shut but I also don't proof read or correct things I could. Cause I simply don't care". That's fine... but why should we then be expected to care enough to modify our own behavior to what you find acceptable? I would say that I "simply don't care" enough to do so.


Given the number of times you've posted to your own thread, I think I know where a certain number of those 300 views came from. And, for the record, I am not a "regular". I only got my K bike last fall, and the members here have been extremely helpful and generous in getting it running again- maybe because I didn't fly off the handle about some tiny perceived (though nonexistent) insult in my third post.


Nice work on your K75, the rear sets especially.
