    Yep-sure was an impressive show.
    How come all KTM jockeys are show ponies???
    Because they've got the skills to pull it off! And it looks good for the sponsors.
    Andrea (GF) watched them practice yesterday and said "Hey, those guys are quite talented, why can't you ride like that"......smart arse.
    I replied " cos I like my bones intact"

    they made it look so easy that's the problem. Still if you're doing it everyday.....

    Caught up with Thommo77 & had a natter, he said he had to go for a leak & the next thing I see is a KLX doing massive whips & cross over superfreak backpedaling backflips.

    Man and to think that only the other night he was riding with us...
    Watching that guy do the double back flip was pretty awesome!!They are very talented if not nuts!

    Yeah I guess it must have been hard to do but I really like the whips (snigger snigger cue dominatrix jokes) Can they do full horizontal 360s yet - that would be cool.

    Lights off helps. Plus the air filter is probably (over) due for a clean now given the Jen's been doing. Gets noticeably harder to start with a dirty filter. (It's got a tiny filter to make room for the electric leg - so with that broken it's the worst of both worlds )

    Blimey that thing looks surprisingly similar to a Honda NX650 Dominator of the same era! Front guard, front fairing, rad guards bolted to tin tank, the instruments, the square-ish sidecovers at the exhausts, the bash plate...

    Belongs in Dual-purpose not Tourers though.

    Nice looking bike though, I thought more Africa twinish
    Seems like a fair enough price too
