Introduction
« on: December 31, 2013, 06:18:41 AM »
Hi All,

Just bought myself a 1975 750K5 to scratch a "classic bike" itch (and justify outfitting the workshop to go with it). Bought the bike in the UK but it is a USA model with 25k on the clock. Although its a runner it's going to need some work but that's part of the attraction. Will post some more photos when it arrives here in Limassol.

Always fancied something like this since a lad in our village had a four pipe 550 which looked magnificent to a spotty kid on a push-bike. I also want to get back to basics and reconnect with the mechanicals. Modern bikes offer a huge fun factor on the road but there is something about doing your own spannering...

I'm new to forums like this but I will admit to being an occasional lurker so I know that this is a great resource.

Cheers / Mark
