Hi all. Looks like I've stumbled upon some kindred spirits...my intro will be short as the sun is shining (for a change) here in the south-east coast of Ireand. I ride a 1986 BMW K100 and a Gilera RC600.
I've been riding for over 25 years and have owned 54 previous bikes...I got this beemer as a project bike and intend doing some restoration, Its not in bad condition, just needs tidying up. It runs and drives smooth.
I'm not sure if I can put up our wee site...but I will and admin can delete/edit as they see fit.
We are a free thinking and liberal Irish bike site for bikers, drop by and say Ogri sent you...

Hi Ogri and welcome to the K100rt forum.

We are not exclusive and don't consider The K100 as THE bike. Other modern bikes are certainly better than our old 25 YO K100 but.... we love the K100.
Any good reading (even on other forums) is good for us.
This forum is K100 oriented, but some of its members own another type(or brand) of bike too.

Thanks for sharing

Bert

Thats cool Crazy Frog...Looks like I have a lot of reading to do here.
I will be here more often as I want to learn everything about the K100

and don't consider The K100 as THE bike

Bert! What are you saying? You might have to wash your mouth out with soap!

Say three "Hail the K100" and ask for forgiveness.

Here here Neil could not agree more I had to rush out into the garage to tell Siegfried Bert was only joking and he and his brothers and sisters are still number one in our pantheon of motorcycles, don't want him getting all emotional whilst I am riding and refusing to run like a horse refusing a fence.

Welcome on board Ogri, good to have you with us. My connection with the fair isle is I belong to ARA 348 Irish Constitution Masonic Lodge and really enjoy Irish Constitution Freemasonry here in New Zealand.
Regards,

Ogri,
Welcome,

Crazy Frog (Bert) started this site and he has a wealth of knowledge beyond belief...BUT...he goes off half cocked now and again so you have to make allowances. The K series is "THE" bike and you will be riding it in preference soon. I can't recall all my bikes but I have had many, The"K"is the one I feel emotion about. It was the first with everything that other so called better bikes have copied.

Shame on you Bert.

K-Bike...I too am on the square. Dacre 2086

Hi Ogri,
Bert, aka 'Crazy Frog' once had a Suzuki 750 GT. That might explain things a bit. And he raced sidecars I think... K100, its the BIKE. Dont tell everyone though, they might all want one.
Welcome to the site from London.

Who me ???

The following picture is very interesting. In 2006, when riding back from a BMWMOA rally in Vermont I stopped at a German fellow's house having a private BMW museum (at least 100 bikes in like new condition). I saw this sidecar and started to inquire about it. It was is own, and we discovered that we were racing on the same tracks in the late 70s (European tracks).

As usual, I am the monkey. (At the time I had not been promoted to a frog and originally I was on a hack with a Suzuki 750gt engine)
No wonder that now I have problems with my shoulders.... My mother always said: "Wait when you will be older" Darn, she was right!



Here is some of my pictures of the rally. The museum is at the bottom. Sorry, you won't see the K100 as it was so hot that I took the K75. You won't see any K in this museum as he doesn't want to deal with the electronic

In order to serve beer at the rally, I took the State's exam and I got licensed as a bartender in Vermont. I was very disappointed when I learned that you are not allowed to drink when on duty

Bert,
I enjoyed looking at those beautiful machines, thanks for that, that sure was some rally.

Yes it was a great rally.
9600 people (even some riders from Europe).
It took 10 days, 6,500 kms for a 3 days rally only 1,200 K from home.
We had a lot of fun riding on all the small mountain roads in Vermont and New Hampshire.
