Room around the camp fire?

Postby BorderHooner » Sun May 16, 2010 8:04 pm

Hi all,

Just checking in here :) I've owned a blue 93 K1100RS since last November. My dad found it for me local to him - and bizarrely when I collected it and looked at the paperwork - it was registered on his birthday!

Currently sitting around the 50K mile marker with plenty of life in it yet - the bikes in excellent condition and has really been looked after - everything works as it should. Full BMW service history too.

I only paid £1150 for it from a BMW dealership with full kraut luggage, however it had missed a major service, so I had them do that before I took it away.

I'm taking the bike to Morocco in September - really looking forward to that :)


So that's my intro.

Catch you around :)

Thanks for the warm welcome folks :)
