Got myself a new toy on thursday, a mint as KTM 250exc 2t, took it for 1st ride this morn. yep a bit diff than the trusty old xr400. All was going well, fiddled with susp then tried different power valve settings, found it nicer to have it come on pipe late in the revs.
Was about to head back to ute n pack up so thought I'd try a wheelie on the gravel road, bad idea!!
Fukker came up nice then right at balance point the power band hit..............ouch!! What a dick.............flipped at about 60kph and hit down on right side..............doctor says "thats the worst AC shoulder separation I've seen" .............buggar! I thought it was broken so not all bad hahaa. Managed to gash my knee nicely too, split it open down to kneecap.

All good fun when riding alone, lucky I had cell phone so was able to get help.

The bike hardly has a mark on it haha...............all in all a good day out. A month off works gonna be a bit boring, at least the parts I ordered will show up hehe!!

Yep I had some fun with a ktm 250 2t recently. Except for me it was the kicker - took the shin skin off to the bone. Made me cry like a little girl it did.
Dunno what it was about that bike, first kickstart in a long time that had bit me. Half and hour earlier I was kicking and riding an XR600.

Hope you heal up soon buddy.

Its voodoo I tell you!!!!!
