Leaves in upstate NY are just past peak so off on a ride to check things out. No rain for a week and the ground not yet froze made traction very good. A variety of terrain and it was all good. Leaves looked great except when you were laying in them and had a snout full after a get off! Big Chris cruising the grass track Chris is our "token" KTM trail rider. The leaves made you stay on your toes or you'd end up on your head Me having a little grass track time And some woods time for relaxation and self reflection.... A rare "Husqvonda WTF230" sighting...standing....fingers on controls....in control......a woods rider in the making! wishing she had 50 mm zokes instead of the old conventional showas but still pushing it.... Pete leading the procession through the trees The 2 stroke was a nice sound on the grass track All in all a good day and good prep for an upcoming charity trail ride Joe
Lookin' good. Our Autumn riding down here is still almost exactly like summer riding; hot, dry and full of silty dust.
You forgot the mandatory "Ride Report Bike Portrait" !! I don't know where the KTM is, though... And a couple more pics of Pete and Joe:
Sorry I missed it. My buddy Greg and I did a little ride on the '07 NE Husky Gathering trails. After a week of rain which was capped with 3" of wet snow Friday and a good carpet of leaves.... it made for a slick ride. Greg's '09 TE610 and my '09 WR125 made an interesting pair.
Ah beautiful scenery. In Aussie we are an evergreen country and do not get to see such beautiful foliage change. The 310 looks beaut. I got my brother off a KTM 450 2 weeks ago for a run out 310. Like me he is needing to downsize as age creeps up. I had a ride and loved it. Any comments from you 310 owners would be sweet. I have seen some around the efi issues and a little around general stuff. A good owners report would be well recieved however. Cheers.
Eye protection! Looks like the rider of the Hondovarna was the only one with goggles. Good for her! Not wearing eye protection warrants a big ole and a :bonk: . Beautiful scenery btw.
Joe's the only offender.... Pete and his KTM buddy have riding glasses on. Look at the bridge of their noses.
only lowered an inch but like my forks soft side and I do tend to "Stand" on my fron brakes.........also a trick of the pic too as many i am hitting bumps, going down hill, or just coming off brakes in a turn.......she sits high up front........never bottomed once even doing some doubles for fun
I have to say I have been guilty of that on occasion :devil:....but only if I am riding alone....the airflow gets addicting.....now I know why some like glasses..... but point well taken.....
