Took the KTM out for a couple of hours and some proper abuse...

Oh my god that bike is soooooooooo much fun. If you aren't sure that you need a quick shifter on the road the answer is yes, absolutely, most definitely yes. Just yes..... Feck I love that bike...


Just incase your weren't sure, I had fun ..

Washed and polished, couldn’t resist a wee blast about the local reservoirs after - now covered in wildlife ImageImageImage

Always nice to have a bit sun on things to brighten them up

As I’ve sold 3 of the bikes leaving me with just the 999 and 600rr track bike I treated myself to a Yamaha 2010 XT660X, took it out for a quick spin today, what a hoot it’s a cracking bike, getting used to the lack of power was a bit weird but a hoot to ride.

Popped up to get a back protector to fit my new jacket.

So good to be out on warm, dry roads and not a lot of traffic either.

Quite good condition for its age, hate the blue colour so im gonna spray those bits black, thought that might look better with the gold wheels. Ordered some different cans as you cant even hear the bike when riding it.

Checked the vfr over ready for work next week. It's amazing how much tyre pressures can vary with the ambient temperature. Last week they where spot on, today they where about 6psi over.
