Good morning from sunny South Africa

Postby Turbonutters » Wed Jan 18, 2017 8:20 am

hi been around for a while.
Riding building and modifying bikes for the last 35 years.
I am not that old just started so young :mrgreen:
Always loved the R1100s and finally purchased my badly neglected and abused 1999 model in 2015.
Have spend a lot of time and cash to get her back on the road and almost respectable.
Bikes currently in my garage Ducati 996 Biposto, st4, triumph sprint 955 st and then the R1100s
BMW R1100S
Triumph 955i

Welcome on board Turbonutters. Your initiation test is to post a picture of your R1100S with one of the big 5 game animals also visible in the image :wink:

Cheers,

Paul
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Welcome t the forum. Ex pat Saffa here in Blighty. I miss the sun and the people but not much else. The 11S is a bit of a rare beast in SA. Still waiting for the pics.

It'll be a long time before I have another Ducati, cost me big when the motor went.
