Dances With Sheep
Here is a shot of my 93 "C" model parked just below the famous (to North Carolinian's) Linn Cove Viaduct on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Stopped to do some photography, and thought "what a fine looking red triple brick," so got a few shots of it and the mountains. I love living up here in the Blue Ridge mountains, even more so now that I bought my 2nd K-75. I know the K-75 is "an acquired taste" for lots of guys who love motorcycles, but man, once you get in that zen place, or whatever you call that spot where man & machine "somehow" merge,
( I know its cliche, but I swear it happens) there just isn't a motorcycle anywhere that so effortlessly rewards each input with such sweet and linear feedback. The weight, sound, and the sooo-smooth throttle response and ride handling just "all come together."
Just a reminder, the Dan' Boone BMW rally happens August 10th-12th right here in Boone, NC. at the KOA campground right on Hwy 194. I've got a bedroom or two in my home I might could rent for that week-end if you don't want to camp, as I'm only 3 miles farther out from the KOA campground ( 5 mins ) on Hwy 194 in Boone, NC. Let me know by return message and we'll discuss....Stephen Hill
Beautiful bike, and I know what you are talking about with the "zen" reference. I have two K75's now and have had three at a time in the past. I love 'em! However, just a data point, I don't think your bike is a "C" model. The C's were produced from 1985 through 1990. Then they were replaced with just a "K75" that had the "Y" spoke wheels, a rear disk brake (whereas the C's had a drum), a unique shroud around the headlight and back of the instrument cluster, whereas the C's had a small fairing, and a low seat with high (RT-style) bars.
