VTR1000.ORG

Rode the little Duke 390 to work, 60 mile round trip and having had its first service no annoying rev reminder flashing over 6500 in top. Did well, easy cruise on the motorway to 80 and beyond and it returned 77.4 mpg, not bad for a little lunger.

Thrashed the big KTM round the county looking for Fabiostars favourite supermarket, he has been struggling to find his local Aldi, and he is right, they can be very tricky to locate sometimes

Roads nice and dry, but lots of dirt and gravel / dust in some places in the middle of the car wheel tracks. A few little slides

Didn't think I was tipping it over so far, but looking at the tyres I was at the edge of the rear and matched the VTR for front chicken strips, and the VTR use is summer roads, and the same pilot 5, 17" tyre on the KTM was just fitted in the winter rebuild...they are bad bikes these KTMs

Sounds like you're getting on well with the big Austrian

I've just constructed what can only be described as a petrol tank torture device!

To prevent my KTM plastic petrol tank from swelling while it's off the bike...

Why not just empty it?

Doesn't seem to stop it

Forgive me, I have been unfaithful and bought one of these bad boys. Don't ride one unless you want to get hooked, you have been warned...Like the Storm, it is loud, fun and likes a drink.

Very nice Cadbury64, those crossplane motors produce one of the best sounds I've heard and the bottom end torque is phenomenal! I can understand why you've strayed

Very nice Cadbury Is it the 09 or the 10?

That’s nice Cadbury

love the lazy respray Duffy. I spotted when you sprayed the engine the overspray on the frame, but at least you masked the engine when you did the frame

Yeah I knew the frame was getting sprayed after the engine, good spot though hawk eyes
