Title: Greetings from the other side of the planet.
Post by: Old Moe Toe on July 15, 2020, 09:35:03 AM

Hello, a newby here living in Tasmania.
Been on the other sohc forum for a while.
Real name is Brad, Old Moe Toe was because I had a moto guzzie for 36 years until recently.
Still got a 1970 750 KO, a 1972 750K2 with a F2 engine in it (well engine is out and being pulled to bits right now), a 1984 HD FXWG and a 2008 HD FXST.
Look forward to participating on this forum.
Cheers.

Welcome Brad. ;D

Hi AshimotoK0
here is a picture of my KO.

A pilot from Montana bought it new and kept it in his air conditioned hangar for the bikes first 40 years and he would sometimes run it up and down the runway. That is what the guy I bought it off told me anyway. I suspect the pilot may have ridden it to town or gone for other outings. It had 12000 original miles on it when I got it years ago. It is like riding a brand new bike, everything is crisp with it.
Pictures are taken as far south as you can go on bitumen in Australia at Lune River/ Ida bay.

Thanks for the welcome.
Here is a picture of my other Honda. It's a K2 with an F2 motor in it. It was an ugly bike when when I got it over 10 years ago. Have been changing it since. Been meaning to treat the engine to an overhaul every winter since owning it as it leaks a bit of oil, blows a bit of smoke and will skip out of gear if one is not careful on the gear change. It's a bit rough but loads of fun. It is nice to have a bike you can ride on dirt roads and not be too fussed about.
