Nice bit of eye candy!!

 

I once had a BMW R100RS. Not a lot of people know that - fortunately.
But it was a long time ago m'lud, and I was still quite young. Not enough ground clearance on it though. Regularly scraped the paint off the main stand (on the left) and the right cylinder head through 'enthusiastic' cornering.

 

One bike I will never sell is my first big German
K1300R

 

Here’s mine, a proper BMW - most of the new ones look as if they’ve been in a crash.

It’s a 1978 R100/7. The previous owner had it for 37 years. Rides like a dumper truck compared with my T595 but I love it anyway! I have removed the RS fairing since the picture was taken and I prefer it that way.

 

I put a Throttle Tamer on my Monster and it did improve engine response around town.

Hi,
Which model is this, and what extras have you fitted.
Looks v good to me.
Regards,Ken.

 

Just to add to my fleet, I’ve bought an F800GT this week! Bloody bikes everywhere now!!

 

Just turned and bought a ‘19 reg R9T Pure.
The cost steered me away from Speed Twin, but now wondering now (300miles later) if I did the right thing!
Ken.

 

Bet your brakes don't squeak though!

 

No, but, with my riding style my bum does sometimes!
Ken.
PS. You’ve heard of Dad Dancing, well, I do Granddad riding, far worst than my dancing!

 

Really like that bike.

 

Wrong thread mate, seems only triumphs do that

 

Err, yep. Only one triumph though and five MZs and ‘others’ !

 

Short ass here, but reach the floor with any bike....when I fall over!
And that’s been known to happen.
Ken.
