Hello All
Just joined the site recently after stumbling across it.
I got my first K100RS about 6 and a half years ago because I wanted something cheap and reliable that I could use for putting up the big mileage I was doing when working as an instructor. It was a 1985 model which originally an RT, the bike was tatty but worked well. A couple of years later my Africa Twin was stolen and I replaced it with an R100GS. So now I was a confirmed BM man.
Two and a half years ago I was out for a run late at night in the country when a rather large Stag decided that he didn't appreciate the looks of the K and lept from the hedge onto the front of the bike. When the bike was lifted home it started first time and I had great plans for doing something special with it. Unfortunately my ambition out strips my ability and I eventually sold it to a friend who was in need of something even more cheap and cheerful, but not before buying a 1991 16v RS from another mate.
The bike has a Harmon Chip fitted and a full Remus system which unfortunately is upswept and so does not allow the fitment of the pannier on the left. Once I get the front fork seals replaced this week I will be able to really enjoy it.
