2wheel rcr, are you coming down to the brushpoppers round of the dual sport series in sept.? if so i,ll buy a beer or two, or three, or whatever.
I'm never offended by brand bashing. I'd own one of everything if I could. I love my Husky, but you'll never pry my EXC from my cold, lifeless hands. Ignore the fact I have a down payment for a house invested in the darn thing getting it sorted perfect for me, but me and the 450 have a thing going on. I actually get a kick out of hearing owners bash other brands. I see it more as flattery than anything else. When I was on the Aprilia forum they were eat up with bashing Ducati, who is of course their biggest rival. Now that I have a trials bike I see they spew venom at each other. Ford vs. Chevy. It's all good. Well maybe not Chevy.
I have a KTM 990 Adventure and I can tell you now that it Keeps Taking Money and it is King of The Mountain!
Name one bike that doesn't Keep Taking Money? I've owned every brand except a Honda and if you ride it hard you're gonna break it.
I was told by a Katoom owner it meant "Keep The Manual", (you're gonna need it) I had a KTM.... once. Twenty-nine years ago! Ironic how when you type in ktmsucks.com where you end up. Hmmm.
