Yeah yeah take the piss :laugh: its uglier than a melted welly (thumbs)

ive used it everyday for 3months and to my surprise I love the bloody thing,its comfy,wind protection is second to none,has all the gizmos (abs,leccy screen,heated grips and a bloody stereo :laugh: )

Its quick for what it is and its returning 50ish mpg

Parts are cheap and in the near 3000 miles ive done it its cost feck all to run other than service parts,The finish is far surperior than newer bikes

Im starting to think why do I bother with newer bikes at all

Plan is over the next few weeks is to get the stihl saw and welder on it (street scrambler style)

Jim, I don't know if there's any similarity between the older K100 and your K1100 but I've got a Haynes manual for the older model you're more than welcome to have if you want it and I think I've got a spare pair of coils for an 1100 you can have for the price of your fuel if you come to Bedford to collect them.

You can get it to look like this one with a saw and a welder ? :woohoo:

I like the blue and white one best.

Your spot on. why pay £10.000 for a bike when you can get a good 2nd hand one and turn it into the bike you want, that will be a one off and there is no chance of turning up at the local bike meet and seeing someone else on one just like it. (thumbs)

I got the BMW R80RT to run through the winter only But I really enjoy riding it..I was out today and did 120 miles . Never get cold and Its a lovely engine far better then other BMW's I have owned.

So if I have not sold it and I still have it when My summer bike goes back on the road I may just turn it into something like this over the summer months





There is one of these underneath just waiting to get out ...
