Hello from me
« on: December 22, 2022, 12:37:46 pm »
Hello all, finally joined the club after a year of owning my second K.

Recently returned to riding and the bug has bitten in a big way. Hope to chat here and meet some of you out and about .

Have a great Christmas and New Year.

John

Welcome to the madhouse and if you live in Warwickshire might see you at the bike meet at Hoar Park of a Wednesday morning.

Hi John and welcome to the madhouse that is EuroKClub!

Methinks it is the wrong time of the year to be meeting any of us lilly-livered lot out and about. Maybe about May time? Brian

Welcome John! You don't happen to be an expert photographer do you? I think Christmas would be vastly improved with some lovely orange K130S photos! :)

Laverda's corporate colour was orange too, for best visibility they claimed.
I'm with Matt.

Oh that is a beaut! That paint!

I cleaned the car today. Walked past the dirty bike about a hundred times. Maybe next week!

Morning, thanks for the welcome.
No luck with the pic posting - tried both Google and imgbb. Will try again from a pc another time.

Well done on posting the pics, many have tried and failed.

I'm guessing the bottom pic isn't of the lava orange K1300s off road :D. Where and when was that taken?

As it happens the only Orange I like is on the K and the 1M, but the other Orange in my life is a KTM 500 EXCF and the pic is on day 12 of 13 around Iceland in the Summer. Without doubt the best motorcycling trip I have been on.
