My new KTM 1190 Adventure R

[Night Falcon]

The problem is that they lull you into a false sense of security: "Hey! This is just a big dirt bike, it handles like a 250, go FASTER!!!"

There is that horrible feeling when you realise that you are going waaaaay too fast and you ain't going to make the next corner...

ohh that is soooo true

[ducatijim]

ohh that is soooo true

And I bin in one of them too!!!

1.5hrs later 3 youngsters on chookies came by....had a poorly concealed giggle, then pushed me out!!

Then....I sold her.

Well at least you don't need a centre stand with an appropriate ditch.

Look out Patu.....da KBpolice are after us!!!

Embedded media? Wot a lot of shite!!!

I'm guessing this is goodbye from me now......I finally got my visa for the 'cool place', tickets are in hand, still struggling with the 'coolness' thing but I reckon I should get a handle on it if I continue to hang out with the 'right' people!!!

The word, lust, adequately describes my thoughts.

Now where did I leave that spare $30k lying around.

Yeah get one - you too can roost other riders with shingle and cause them pain like the old fart did on the last dusty butt - (might been a 990)

$5000 King of Baja kept him honest

F.rkn ugly looking the 2013 model - kind of bike yah buy when ya not fit enough to do any serious adventure riding - too heavy - each to their
own but power to weight where its at for me with adventure bikes

30K - and people say Austrians/Germans don't have a sense of humour

[paturoa]

Yeah ... you ...old fart ...butt

F.rkn ugly .... ya not fit enough to do any serious adventure riding - too heavy

With a bit of selective quoting, you're very close to describing me!

Merkin is a pubic wig. Merkins were originally worn by prostitutes after shaving their genitalia, and are now used as decorative items, erotic devices, or in films, by both men and women.

I can understand how the different interpretations of Merkins would cause confusion. Almost the same then
