Sure do wish it was warm and nice enough out to go for a cruise here.

Tons and tons with more on the way tomorrow. I'd rather be upside down and warm than right side up and covered in a thousand feet of this white bullshit.

Rotorua, New Zealand. The one on the left is a BMW K75s (the best triple) and the one on the right is my K100 RS 16v ABS :)

Nice. Had to look that up on Wiki/Goggle Maps. Looks like a very cool place.

The best bricks. Still flying after quite a few kays on both bikes too.

The K75, is it any good? My dad (1952) bought one last year as his first bike. I don't ride myself, so I really don't have a clue.

Well that K75 is my dads (1956) and he loves it to bits. They really are awesome bikes. Kinda a do anything machine. Reliable as they come. That one has just clicked over 215 thousand kms. Alot smoother running to that the four cylinder K100. So yea, they are pretty good. Awesome cult following and people come out of the woodwork when you park them up. What kind/colour does your dad have?

This is a picture from the ad from which he bought it. I believe it's a K75 C, built in 1988. My dad mentioned something about it having a sports handlebars. If I remember correctly it has close to 60k km on it, so it's hardly broken in yet. In real life the paint is a bit faded though, but the mechanical bits seem to be in great shape.
