Hi to all. The name gives it away I guess - I have a BMW K1100RS which is currently in my garage with final drive, swingarm, transmission and most of the bike on the floor. Mention a clutch spline lube to any BMW owner and they will nod in sympathy! New tyres being fitted tomorrow and when a few other things are sorted out it will be back on the road after a 5 year absence. Also, have a Honda CB900F sitting in the garage unused since 1985. I rode this out of the dealers when it was new on September 3rd 1980 - so yes, I am an oldie!

Sorry, always did get my left and right mixed up! I live just south of Marlborough so that makes me an East Wilts Newcomer!

Welcome from another oldie!

Pics will have to wait - but will do once the sun comes out. The Honda runs and I hope to get that OTR eventually but that will be for weekend fun only. The Beemer is for more serious stuff!

Blackbonnie - with 4 kids what do you think?

Even working on the bike myself, it's pounds not pennies with a BMW! Plus I have 177K miles on my car and need a second form of transport I can rely on and have a bit of fun.
