Reinstated the K1
« on: August 30, 2022, 10:30:01 am »
So with covid the K1 didnt get used, and of course the fan siezed. So a new upgrade Spal fan fitted and a shiny new MoT and she's good to go again.

Used it during the recent heatwave and it coped admirably (better than the rider :D)

Lovely.
One of only 42 registered in the UK:

I really like the look. But I also like purple as a colour, so I really can't be trusted in matters of taste.

Ha!

'Tick all that apply' could easily be applied to all of us. Except I can't easily clock my boss.

Welcome back Steve.

I still slightly regret selling my K1 although doing so help a friend through a difficult time in his life so it was for the best.

I still have, stashed in a cupboard somewhere, a completely brand new, still in original BMW box, tail luggage pack for one of those. Both the main bag and the two side cases. I need to dig them out one day and put them on eBay I think.
