Aussie Newbie
« on: May 15, 2020, 08:41:15 am »
Hi All,

Have just found the site in search of some mods for my bike. Thought I would drop in and say hi

I have a 2014 K1300R only 33,000kms on it.

I actually owned the bike back in 2015/2016 when I was the second owner, then decided to sell it to pay off my Amarok instead. I had it up for sale and a guy contacted me about it but had to sell his bike first so the sale didn't happen. I ended up selling to a dealer and no doubt got shafted on the price.

One day when I was Browsing the local bike sales Website I found the bike and come up again so I enquired about it, and then it turned out it was the same guy who wanted to buy it from me originally, he ended up buying it from the dealer, so then I bought it back off of him.

It's great to have my old bike back, and this time she isn't going anywhere.



I also own a 2014 Suzuki DL1000A V-Strom, a 2014 VW Amarok and a 2011 Polo TDi. A few toys to play with these days, but soon to have a few sold.

Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris and welcome to the madhouse that is EuroKClub!

Blimey, we are getting some top quality newbies in these days, piccies on day one, full life histories and everything. Maybe the virus stuff is making folks contemplate their own mortality more than normal.

Anyways, welcome again and we promise not to hold the Suzuki against you. Brian

Welcome Chris! Tell me please, what's that little tinker exhaust on the K? It looks like it has potential to beat my SC-Project for the old decibels!
