That looks like fun!
Can you dig up another one for me?
Or perhaps I'm gettin things a bit mixed up.
I'll have to keep an eye out for you on that.
Getting spoilt for choice lately mate, do you toss a coin these days when you open the garage door?

..Hi "H"...I just wanted something to plod about on ...it's not fast or a wheelie popping lightweight as some of the KTM supermoto's ...but it's ok / handles well / and looks sort of Ant like haha, yes you will know it's me at willingham

It's the first KTM I've had ..after owning XR'S / Bultaco and Ossa's ... I'm very impressed with the build quality of the thing, all alloy is high quality, suspension W.P as standard, and with 15,000 on the clock still feels good.

It's on the ramp at the mo' ...what I thought was "strange steering symptoms" due to a worn supersticky front tyre turned out to be very notchy rusty bottom set steering head bearings

I checked them with the bike on a moto x high lift stand, they felt smooth as silk...but when the weight was back on the front end ...whoa!!..felt like the back end was trying to overtake the front ..yeah I know that's how you are supposed to go into corners on one of these haha ... let me get some new brake pads in first.
