Hi Guys
My name is Gary and I live in Horndean, near Portsmouth (about as far South as you can get without getting your feet wet). 41 years old and definetly a 'grumpy old man' in the Stuart Prebble definition.
Married with one son (nearly 6 years old).
Had loads of bikes ranging from a CZ125 to a GTR1000. Currently own a Honda CX650 Turbo and the K1100LT.
I work overseas and only get to the UK for about 3 months a year.
Would love to meet up for tinkering and riding when I am at home. Sometimes go to Bahnstormers for a drool over what I cant afford.
See you all one day. _________________ 1984 CX650 Turbo 48k miles

I'm passing this nice looking charcoal K in Old Marston, on my way into Oxford almost every morning, it's usually parked outside a house facing the 'wrong' way and as it's the only one I've seen locally, I wouldn't mind making contact. Probably not anyone on here right? _________________ Cheers, Steve H _______________________________________

I'm probably going Chris - on the GS though so I can ride up the kerbs.
BTW - did you know there's a bike meet on wednesday evenings at the Oliver Cromwell? I can usually be found there on the K11 or GS. I'm the only one with either bike so pop in and say hi if you're passing. _________________ 1980 CB900FA

K1100LTIC, first bike in ~20 years, ex-police as were most of my R's in the past.
Do most of my own spannering, just finished doing a gearbox swap as the original locked up at speed, the drive shaft needs replacing so STILL off the road.
Occasional visitor to Bahnstormer, usually for small bits and free coffee, prefer Loomies and normal bikers to most rich BMW owners with a chip on their shoulders though! _________________ Southern Hampshire, England.
'95 K1100LTIC (ex-police) my first road bike after 20 years without a road bike! Now backed up by an F650GS (800 twin) and a Deauville. The '52 G80C isn't a road bike so doesn't count... |

Hi Guys
thought i'd do a proper intro; well what can i say.....
50th year this one; had my midlife crisis at 40 but fancy another one at 50 Rode various bikes from my first at 16 (Honda SS50) to my latest a K11RS which i've just purchased in last couple of weeks. Also have a couple of MZ's
Left my job in January (fed up with six monthly job at risk proceedures) and found it a bit more difficult to get back into work than thought it was going to be - good biking year though
Need to get a job soon though
love the brick and gradually getting it to my liking - mostly spit and polish but with a few changes/additions (as an ex 1200 GSA owner love the little farkles in life - what do you expect )
Living near to Chorley, Lancashire but from Cumbria so will eventually go back up; mostly ride into Yorkshire and Cumbria.
Not that mechanically minded but happy to have a go once shown how to.
Have also got back into camping so here's a pic of me the tent and previous bike...
Here's a pic of my new brick part way through cleaning and sorting...
Keep safe and hopefully meet up with one or two of you sometime!! _________________ 2005 BMW 1200 RT

Looking for another brick - miss my last one!

|

Hi All
I'm based in Desborough (between Kettering and Market Harborough) and have just clocked up 53 years on the planet.
Ex despatch rider, it's still in the blood when I encounter traffic
Two bikes at present, a new to me K1100RS of 1993 vintage Mystic Red 30,000 miles and very tidy, plus a close to mint R90S in the best colour (Daytona Orange) IMHO
I would post some pics, but can't work out how to. Do I really need to host them on the web first?
I've had a day and a half of IT today, so maybe in a couple of days when my brain has cooled down a little.
Stay shiny side up.

Hi all,
Small world innit ? Chopper Harris and MadStu are on another forum that got me started on BMs.
I live in Stanwick in East Northants. Having blundered about with remote help I can now do routine work on the K75C and would appreciate anyone local who could provide guidance on the few electrical jobs to be done on the very clean K1100LT I have just bought. _________________ 1986 K75C

Hi guys,
I'm Dave 54, from Haddington,East Lothian...,bout 20 miles south of Edinburgh,just off the A1.
Pretending to be a biker since passing my test at 17, and had too many Bikes to mention (ask the wife!) mostly "Jap-'.ap".....past 6 years I've been in a club that Owns retired american cop cars and bikes.....and thats how I got the nickname "CHiPs" as I'd owned 3 Kawasaki KZ1000's (Police 1000) in the time I was with them.
Health(and money!)problems forced me to sell them, as I needed a heart bypass .....
Feeling 100% now.....so the old bike bug came back to bite me again, and as I'd never owned a BMW before (mainly because of my short arse!!) i felt i needed to see what all the fuss was about
As i didnt have a lot of cash to play with so when the k1100rs came up i jumped at it ...
I REALLY wanted a 1100RT, as my first try at BMW, but just couldnt get one at the price i could afford.......so K1100rs it was.
never know,i might do a swap if the right deal came along??....we'll see.......I might get used to the K if I have it long enough
......BUT going by my previous track-record...........i dont keep my bikes for long..........i guess I havnt "met" the bike for me yet?? _________________ 1993 K1100RS

My friend has a K1100RS, which he recently asked me if I wanted to buy as he's emigrating but I'm happy with the LT.
& tbh I'd say Haddington was east of Edinburgh not south !? _________________ "A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing." |
