Title: Another New, Old Member
Post by: RipleyRich on Friday, 03 April 2026, 06:10 PM

Morning All,

I`m Rich from Ripley in Derbyshire. I was a member many years back when I owned a Silver K3 which I had for my 40th Birthday 20 years ago.

Unfortunately the Bike and I had to go or separate ways due to a deteriorating hip, which was replaced 16 years ago.

I gradually returned to bikes via Scooters, gradually building up strength and confidence until I could resist the craving no longer, and in November purchased a blue K2 with 31k on the clock from a local dealer.

I`ve spent a little time over winter sorting things my way and took it out for its first proper run yesterday.
Be interested to know if anyone on here has my old K3 YN53MBU

IT`S GOOD TO BE BACK :boogie: 4.jpg2.jpg5.jpg

G'day Rich and welcome to the nuthouse 🥳 it's in great nick.
K2 with 31k miles ? I think this may be a rival for @Nottys record.
Anyone heard from Notty lately ?
