Hello group. While I am away for most of the year my 1990 K75s lives alone in New Hampshire. Must be cold.

Seems like you need someone akin to a pet sitter to take your k out for exercise.

Hey there- I'm just on the other side of Franconia Notch from you- Sugar Hill. Nice K bike you have there. I'm on a 92' K100RS.

Here is the brick outside of our Summer place. Looking for someone in the area who could help with some paint work. Any Suggestions?

That bike looks very clean (like crazy good) before you have the paint work done could I borrow it for a bit , just to make sure you get your money's worth for the paint?

Also a bit of road grime will hide a few paint blems.

There is, or used to be, a guy in Vermont who is a real master: Brent Budgor. I visited him a few years back:
