Just to say hi, just got back into biking after 28 yr gap, so got myself a k1100lt 73,000k on the clock. Of the previous 2 owners the first was 72 yrs old and had a stroke so had to sell the bike, the second owner (66yrs old) of only 9 months did his back in and could no longer handle the weight so I pick it up for what I considered to be a reasonable price. At 68 yrs old I hope to break the trend of ill health and enjoy this bike for a few years. Couple of jobs to do on it, ie oil changes etc, the master brake cylinder needs an overhaul, (parts already on the way along with new steel braided lines). I live in the north of Sweden so for 7-8 months of the year the bike has been standing hence the cylinder failure.
It's peeing down with rain outside so a photo will have to wait until the weather clears but hope to glean much wisdom from you all as I get this puppy back into tip top condition. Forget about the price of doing the bike nearly succumbed to my own heart attack when I found out the price of motorbike apparel. what ever happened to throwing on a pair of old leathers and a ropy jacket.
