Maybe that’s why Thumper ran out?

Interesting, as I am looking into getting a K. Thanks for posting it.

Any joy with the hunt yet?

Viewing one on Saturday! I’ll post photos if I get it.

Cool, looking forward to seeing it!

I bought it. K1300S. I really pushed the boat out on this one, but fell in love…..

Now I will sell the trusty Trophy

Nice one! Brand new?

[Swindon Andy]

No, a 59 reg with all the toys. I would post a pic but don’t know how – maybe I don’t have the privilege

Sounds like it will be a beast of a bike

This link will advise how to post images:

I think this is the best colour, hope it doesn’t offend those more into black/dark bikes

Cool. I like Flymo colours.

I could see the picture, I can’t now for some reason. Odd.

Looked great! Is it affected by the recall notice?

[Swindon Andy]

It’s odd, I can’t see the photo now either. Not even a failed link.

I have the photo hosted on Canon Image Gateway and open to all viewers. Maybe the Canon site isn’t good for these web links.

The seller said all the updates have been done except this last one, which is apparently liable to a tank leak if a hose is removed and forced back on incorrectly. I’ll wait until a dealer service I think, as the BM dealers are all a long way from Swindon. Perhaps I’ll find a good independant.

Been out on it for a few hours today, it’s real nice to ride. Linked brakes and rapid shift make it almost too easy. Then had to wash it of course.

I can’t see what is wrong with the link.

In the meantime, here is a picture of a white one:

anybody got an orange highlighting pen?
