    I want...

    One of these

    http://www.ktm.com.au/bike.php?bike=27

    First time an adventure bike has made me go, "Ooo I want that!"
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Bugger, laughed out loud at work again.

    KTM's are orange, but I guess that's just as "bad". I'm starting to think a sports tourer and a semi-dirt/adventure bike would be the perfect gargre.

    And lets face it, based on sales, who would wanna be. (boom boom)

    I don't mind them but I don't think they were a really big seller where they?

    Oh for an inside leg measurement of 52"...

    Who designs these things (two-wheeled testicle depressors, that is)? Why does the seat height on any bike have to be higher than 750mm? Where is it written? What is the point?

    I was marvelling at this phenomenum whilst standing alongside some knobbly Yamaha thing in Sawyers on Saturday. "How does one mount said?" I thought. Does one click it into gear, ease out the clutch, step onto the left peg and throw one's leg over Lone Ranger style? Does one remove oneself in the opposite fashion or does one ride up to some suitably robust structure and lean the bike against said prior to dismounting, or just plummet to earth in some ungainly manner?

    Very nice bike

    Pity Orange is now the new 'Gay colour'. Since when did colours have a sexual preference :unsure:

    Harumph. Uninsurable.

    Forget about it.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Here`s the instructions I got when I picked up my hired(highered even) BMW R1100GS from Auckland.
    Put bike on stand,stand to the right.Place right foot on right footpeg,swing left leg over seat and onto left peg.That loud bang you heard was the top-box getting kicked yet again.Then the really scary bit first time round ,because you can see Rotorua from up there,roll it off the stand.Luckily the BM is very well balanced and a bloody good bike as well but the height and weight are definately daunting,with a full tank it`s well top-heavy too.

    I promise you, you don't need that fairing and the extra weight. Mine's an "E" (for enduro), same motor 30-40 kilos lighter and it's red and black.

    Brucee Marshalls got an E that he's lowered and it's fer sale. Not that they're that tall to start with - even Motu good ride one...

    Is that cunning manoeuver completed off the side stand or the main stand?

    The only thing the TDM wants to be is side ways when the gravel gets deep. I wanna trade mine on a V-Strom...
