    '85 BMW K100 for super cheap

    Here's the scoop. A coworker and friend of mine got hammered in the flooding up here. He lives in Moretown and had over 5' of water in his house. His bike was in the shed and was completely submerged. $400 or best offer and it's yours. It's an '85 K100. I didn't check the mileage. He adopted a couple of kids a couple years ago so he hasn't run it much in the past couple of years but he did run it. The tires look to be in great shape but they are probably more than a few years old. It does have the hard bags with it but they are'nt mint as they were apparently broken and repaired before he bought the bike. The fairing is cracked on the left side. The headlight is broken. It's covered in silt. He drained the oil out of it but that's all he's done with it. Right now he just wants to get rid of it because he's still in the process of gutting his house and knows it'll be months before he can move his family back into his house, let alone work on the bike. PM me if you're interested and I'll give you his cell. I'll deliver it to the BoMo September days if you want (and make arrangements before Sunday morning) or I can work out some sort of delivery arrangements if you live relatively nearby.

    John

    Talked to Howland a couple of times. I just can't make the logistics work. Rats. (He sounds like a great guy, though.)

    If it doesn't sell by the end of this week I'm going to pick it up from him, clean it up, and try to get it running again.

    Re: '85 BMW K100 for super cheap

    Not for sale any more. I brought it home and now it runs. Silt was everywhere but I think most of the electronics survived. The right turn signals are the only things that don't seem to be working at the moment but they are pretty far down on my list of things that need attention. I need to get some hypoid oil for the drive train and then I'll take it for a quick spin. Change the oil and drive train oil one more time, fix and re-paint the fairing, replace the battery, change the coolant and the brake fluid and it'll be ready to give it back to him. I'll probably wait until spring for the presentation so he doesn't need to deal with it this winter.

    Will do. I've had it out on the street for a few miles to get the fluids warmed up before changing them again. I'm still finding little issues with corrosion but generally I'm surprised how well it survived. It won't be cherry but it'll be in better shape than it was before it was flooded.

    Good is a relative kind of thing. Better than some, worse than others...
