Hello
I have enjoyed many hours of pursuing various threads on this site. I have four bikes, two K2’s, 71 Kawasaki Mach 111, and a Yamaha R5. Only one of them, a K2, is in any decent condition, and I bought it as a virtually completed rebuild. At a recent swap meet I sold my lovely 69 Triumph Bonneville and spotted this beautiful, though not original, K2 that I bought after several weeks of negotiation. PO did a nice job on it cosmetically, though some mechanical issues. I have sorted out some minor electrical problems, am generally trying to get it fully sorted e.g. front brake and some motor issues.
My other K2 had been a police bike. I have had it for twenty years or so. It is in pretty sad condition. The Mach 111 and Yamaha are old relics picked up over the years and in generally sad condition. Notice a common theme here?
Over time I have come to the realisation that I am not a builder, more a fiddler around the edges, e.g. playing around with electrical issues or general external stuff, I’ve never had the nerve to pull a motor apart. Which begs the question, why did I buy another bike that needs motor work? I guess I see something I fall in love with and I want it regardless. However I continue to live in hope, so it was a real pleasure to come across this site with so much incredible info. I love it. I will try to post a picture.
Looking forward to getting involved in time with posts, but I have rambled on more than enough so bye for now
