Have been given my late grandad's (Peter Ovenden - known to us as Pops) '85 K100RS in mint condition by my nan for my eighteenth. He was a very keen biker whose collection over the years included numerous British thoroughbreds. In the early nineties, unbeknown to us at the time, he was diagnosed with skin cancer and he opted for something a bit more comfortable that he could tour on with my nan (Janet Ovenden). I believe they toured the states on this bike with the BMW Club who all chartered a plane over there to take all of their bikes.

Now converting into cafe racer (see my other thread)

Can't wait for it to be done
