Hey all,
Apoligies for not introducing myself, I thought I had when I joined several years ago :(

I'm 62, based in the Gold Coast Queensland Australia and love my K2 appropriately called 'Bluey'
Had a Special Edition 'Migaloo' a while back but gave her up, that's a story for another day.

Always keen for a blast around SEQ and Northern Rivers and to swap stories with other 1400 owners


Cheers
Joe

Hey BbigMmac, Yep Candy Blue. In pretty good nick paint-wise except for the grab rail. I gotta look for a replacement...
She's only got 72k on the clock but the headers are really pitted. I scored a complete immaculate exhaust system for $750. That's next!!
