    I saw one and all the parts came from the BMW factory, yes.

    Its BMWMOC, a few desperate in Australia whacked a chookie front end on
    K75's and called them K75GS's the object of the conversion was to piss
    people off (a truly noble pursuit for a ralliest).

    My members get up to a lot of weird crap (Turbo and Fuel Injected R90S)
    K100/1100 Outfits, VW 1600/R60's

    I already knew more than I wanted to know! I chased McArdle
    from Karuah to Goulburn, and then spent most of Autumn Leaf
    talking with Frank about fuel injection ...

    I think I'll try and make Karuah again ...

  6. Just realised one of the bikes I was thinking of was actually a K100GS...
    (But I did see the owner fall off it twice while attempting to leave a
    Loaded Dog Rally...)
