You ok? lol That spin looks quite bad!

It hurt my GF more than me! Some may think I'm crazy for writing this, but I actually feel quite relieved that I finally had a bin (and of course that it was in a controlled track enviropnment and no injuries).

I do think though that my Rjays leathers are shit and will not recommend them to anyone. I think they are 1.3 or 1.5mm thick. My next leathers will be double that.

I scratched my rear axel bolt and wore the rubber end off my left hand grip. What's to claim?

Yeah, we can tell from the scream of your gf... That bin does hurt her...

I agree, the bin is worthwhile from different perspective as you find out few important things:
1: Your skill limitation or the KTM limitation around that corner.
2: Rjays leathers = not good
3: The gf really loves and cares you so much?

4: Maybe some more.........?

Glad there is no bad injuries! Ride safe!

Off the topic. I was going to the track to see the minimotos

...somehow i missed it. let me know if there is another in the future...

Yea fark, Motards fun alright.!

If I was insane like you and have a bit of extra money on the side to blow I'll definitely consider getting a Motard.

I have always wanted to ripp shit up in the dirt and get some dirty action going on the Motorcross bikes well before I even considered getting my motorcycle licence. Yup, it was all those crazy x-treme T.V shows which had them fluffing around the giant sand dunes which had me sold.

It's one of those must do's before I hit 25!

I have NEVER had so much fun on a bike than what the KTM has brought me over the last couple of months. My track day fee was $10, and I binned and did virtually no damage to me or the bike. Sports bike track day is $100, a bin $2000? (Also you're going to probably be going twice as fast so if you do bin... ouch!).

So yeah, bummer that this particular bike has cost me a few bob, but man it has been worth it!

you've gotta try it offroad!

atleast the piston etc needed replacing anyway

(back when i had an '83 XR200, one of it's final rides before selling and upgrading to the yamaha)

5. gf hates bike and if you love her then sell me your ktm for $300. I am sure she would agree and love you even more.
