1992 K75 low miles
« on: November 16, 2019, 10:16:39 PM »
This look like a very well cared for K75.

"Possibly", it has low miles, too.

The asking price is reasonable too.

Is an edit possible? We're on a roll here.

By tradition, posts on this thread end with the word too.

new rotors on a low mileage bike?  odd.  He got 2 left hand (or right hand?) rotors instead of 1 of each.  I did that too.

Makes you wonder where else he might have tried to save money.

Yep, it looks odd, I noticed that too.

Hi SDCR John,

First I thought what?  Your post does end with too,  and got the ball rolling, but I think now you added "possibly"

I should use the quote feature more as I was roughly asking Beemuker for just one extra word ("as well" was almost as good as too, so thanks too, Chaos)

I almost didn't reply cause I couldn't think of a sensible way of framing the sentence, so that it ends with the word, too.

The only explanation that I have is, after your original comment about new rotors, that my comment about it having low miles too, should be changed.










So, the phrase" Possibly" was added too.
