But I just finished rebuilding another R100GS and had it out for a wee test run

I have nothing much to say except:-

I FCUKING love these bikes You just feel alive riding them! No ABS No Fuel injection .... No Servo Brakes I only had my open face and a Bomber Jacket No twat suit No Arai Tour X 99 no big brash GS boots just:- jeans, jacket, gloves, open face, "Comme Le Steptoe"!

Now a few more tweaks and I "might" give it back to its owner !

(Note to self front calliper could stand a bit more bleeding )

Amazing what a timing chain, Decoke and valve grinding does for them Oh and Oil seals changed so oil no longer pissing out everywhere

Oh and TKC 80s!!!!

What a HOOT!

Tut I must calm down and get me self a wee hot chocolate and chill before bedtime

Honest to Goodness I am like a wee Kid on Christmas Eve and Full of the joys of spring After a wee bimble for 5 or 6 miles

LOL - mines a naked r100rs ( 19 incher ) ........probably only doing 45 mph if a BMW speedo is anything to rely on !!

Took mine into London on Sunday to the bike shed event...

Friggin great bike for wizzing about on and buzzing the unsuspecting bikers heading towards Tabbacco Dock.

I've got some Mefo Explorer tyres on mine a very impressive dual use tyre.

I have just used my R80RT for a long weekend in Scotland, staying in Fort William, had a great time, fast enough, avoided the motorways going up and coming down, I only took it because a couple of friends were on 80's honda's, bike ran perfectly and made the weekend, fantastic fun!
