Hi everyone. I'm just another old guy who loves to ride. I recently bought a 1985 K100RT. As expected there were things that needed attention. I stumbled on this forum and began to ask questions. Very quickly found that there is a wealth of knowledge and experience here. I have gotten much help and actually bought some parts on the forum.
Been riding since 1974. I'm 75 years old and still like to take those long quiet trips. My other ride is a 2004 R1150RT. I am glad to be a part of this group of friendly and helpful folks. Thanks all.

Ha ha. My other ride is a 2001 R1150RT...

Welcome good stuff here if you have any trouble.

Welcome from Australia Richard the first. That has a regal ring, and good to see our average age chart moving up.

Hi Richard,
Great to have you on board and great to see you are riding at 71, we also have Ajays to inspire us who is still riding at 80++ so good on you for keeping going on the bike. Look forward to reading some of your riding stories.
Regards,
K-BIKE

Hi Richard,

Another welcome from Australia. Seeing we have got back onto the topic of age ..again.. I would like to point you to the following TV program that aired in Oz last night.

You should be able to view it here: http://www.abc.net.au/iview/#/search/australian%20story

Enjoy Ajays.

Best wishes,

Welcome, Richard! I have a younger brother who's living not too terribly far from where you live. He's works in Williamsport (home of Little League baseball) and has lived near there for some years now, but he doesn't ride, poor bugger, and doesn't know what he's missing with the incredible roads round your region. Goodonya for inspiring some of us mere whipper snappers to keep going on two wheels, like our good man Ajays, too! I've had some of my older riding mates tell me that's their secret to longevity. Cheers.

Thanks for all the warm greetings. K-Bike, my age is 75 not 71 and I'm 2 months into my 76th year. I must tell you that since I joined this forum, I have met many friends and feel closer to this group than I do with some of the groups I actually physically belong to. My long distance riding is on hold as my wife of 56 years is in a nursing home with terminal lung cancer and also advanced altzeimers disease. I visit her twice every day and will continue for as long as I have her. In the meantime I ease my mind with working on the K-bike.
Thanks again for all you friends who reside in this little box on my desk called a PC. Hope to get the K-bike out as soon as the weather breaks here in Pennsylvania. ALready met a fellow rider from Williamsport and we will get together when the riding weather is here.
Thanks to you all for making me feel so welcome.
