Good work that man........

Do you think they'd let you make your own personal touches to the road ?

Some nice flowing banked corners perhaps

Great Jo ! get out there and rattle them tracks and burn that diesel .
Nothing like the smell of a hard working diesel exhaust and freshly turned earth

specially when theres a bike ride at the end of the day and a paycheque at the end of the week.

Joe don't be in too much of a rush to get a big heavy bike like the KTM. It won't go places as easily as the DR but may be a better road bike if you're more into heading that way rather than the rough trails.
