Hi All,

 I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Dave, a middle aged happy father of 2 where we all live on the lovely Isle of Wight - for those who don't know it, it's the small little blob that sits of the bottom of England. So you can see why I need a K100 to drive around this little place!!!

 Will try and add a picture of the K100 - this is a 1984 RS model and is a dream to ride!

 Also in the stable at present is a Suzuki GS (X) 750 ET 1979 model and enough bits that I can no longer identify!!

 Looking forward to being part of your forum!! Very Happy

Welcome DaveP

A K on the Isle Of Wight (IOW)? 

Biggest problem with K's is that they often encourage you take the long way round to anywhere and a simple ride to the local shops becomes a 300 mile pleasure Kruise. On the IOW, that'll mean that you will go round the island about 5 times and that increases the chance that your wife/partner and/or kids will catch you having fun!

Plenty of good riding nearby on the mainland too, just a short ferry ride away - and at least the ferry fare for a bike is not quite as extortionate as it is for a car. Apart from complicating travel plans a little, islands aren't bad places - theres's quite a nice emerald green island a little way to the North West of you and a somewhat bigger island down under, to the South East of you, if you are feeling a even more adventurous. I can whole heartedly recommend both!

Enjoy the "new" bike, plenty of tech help, wit and repartee hereabouts to help you on your journey.

Welcome!

I'm sure you'll figure out all the places you want to go on it in short order.
