Third Bike

 I wasn't looking for a third bike but a 1985 K75C was on sale locally in rural New South Wales so I went and had a look. It had only 48,000km on the clock, was in good original condition and at a good price, so I purchased it. I'm currently working through a series of maintenance jobs like replacing the coolant and brake lines: the bike is unfamiliar after nearly 40 years maintaining airheads but some things are the same. 


There's an interesting piece on the K75 by FortNine, he describes the engine as being easily capable of doign a million miles. Also, there were a couple of episodes of the Airhead 247 podcast devoted to the K75, it's available on Soundcloud, also apple and spotify.
