    KTM 950cc Vtwin Superenduro

    How about a KTM 950 superenduro for an dirt orientated adventure bike? Recon they would be awsome If you can handel the power and weight off road that is.

    Oh well dreams are free - no where near the dollars in the budget to pay for the broken bits when it gets droped/crashed let alone the bike.

    It'd take all of our bike budget just to get the LC4 - maybe I should send Lemans a PM

    I'd fight you for the LC4 but that would be crule - where's wifey when I need her

    I have seen and I want. (for about 6mth's now)

    And I want one badly.

    Now I'm going in to corner to suck my thumb and cry.


    OR

    shhh don't tell SDU going to the bank.

    And you two can fight over the LC4, my money's on the short red head as she fights dirty.
    Feel the fear and do it anyway

    Don't confuse education with intelligence.
    There are alot of highly educated idiots out there.

    There is a write up on the bike in the latest ADB mag. They said the factory suspension setup wasn't great, but a with a little adjustment sweet.

    Have you managed to get Lemans out of the corner or is he still sucking his thumb and crying

    Thats gotta be one of the great things about it - its a big bike that you can adjust the suspension on. Will have to keep an eye out for a write up on it, I havent seen one yet.

    Glasses, glasses, you think they will save you?
    That doesn't work for me mate, beware of the red heads.
    Next you will be trying to eat some of her chocolate.

    Only because I have to go to work.

    Now if I trade the LC4, DR and XT and maybe one of the Guzzie's

    Just kidding SDU, I'm kidding honest.

    Maybe

    I'd watch your talk Lemans. Otherwise you'll be needing to get dangerous to build you a dog box too. Although from what (iirc) Biff said they're well made.

    I'm lucky that we had a Irish Wolfhound, so the dog kennel is a nice big and roomy one.

    And if I get one, I will be to busy riding it to go home to face the music.

    Some people dream of whats available and the rest of us just go out and get what it is that we can afford and get out on the roads/goat tracks etc and enjoy life...

    Besides Im happy to give my DRZ utter shit and into the fun factor, don't think Id be the same on that. Might be a nice bike, but IMO poor value for money...
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.
