[QUOTE="akat77, post: 27778, member: 25104"] Hi everyone! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)Newbie from KK reporting. Got an R100GS hand me down from my dad who bought it from a German expat back in 1994. Was my first 'big' bike apart from the Shadow 600 I bought much later when I was studying in KL.
