For the moment, the ride tale pic will have to be viewing the grass in my backyard, but I promise some dirty pictures soon! I could show you the pics of my bloody left knee after crashing in the grass/gravel alley, but I'll resist. Gotta get me some knee braces...roost guard...different helmet...boy pajamas...more farkles...

 

Yay for me!!!

[Huzband]

Oh, you filthy DOG!

 

Good on ya! Glad yer back.

 

Nice ride, Steve.

 

BTW, thanks for sparing me the bloody knee.

[steve.foote]

Steve, nice bike! But, you better hurry up and get that thing dirty, it's way too clean. It just isn't natural.

[Huzband]

RightSpin's correct. This is what a KTM is supposed to look like;

 

 

I mean, sheesh, even one of the first pics of my GS had dirt on it.

 

[ESokoloff]

You dirty dog, you

[russell_bynum]

Sweet.

 

OK...you had an RT and took it places that most guys wouldn't take a dirt bike.

 

Now you've got a dirt bike, so what's the plan.....track days?

 

[murrayg]

Congrats, are you going to change your DB name to

Dirty Dancing Dog? We don't mine clean, dirty pictures

[SageRider]

Nice show bike...

 

 

 

 

[Dances_With_Wiener_Dogs]

Sweet.

 

OK...you had an RT and took it places that most guys wouldn't take a dirt bike.

 

Now you've got a dirt bike, so what's the plan.....track days?

 

 

SuperMoto anyone?

[russell_bynum]

SuperMoto anyone?

 

In!

[roydog007]

OOOOOOOOOOOO...

Nice, Have fun Steve

[Stormrider]

~Sweeeeeeeeet~ Ya lucky dog you!

[gottago]

Sweet.

 

OK...you had an RT and took it places that most guys wouldn't take a dirt bike.

 

Now you've got a dirt bike, so what's the plan.....track days?

 

 

I hear Ewan and Charlie have a new ride planned.

Long Way Down -- maybe you could join them

 

By the way nice bike!!! Congrats!

Now plan a trip to where the sticker on the front number plate says "Coco's Corner" in the middle of Baja and then you are talking about riding and getting the bike dirty. Carry plenty of parts and with KTM's they recommend changing oil every 600 or so miles so go back to regular oil and not syn........have fun and keep the rubber side down.

[Firefight911]

Congratulations and welcome back!!

 

Nice bike for sure!

 

 

I mean, sheesh, even one of the first pics of my GS had dirt on it.

 

All I can do is just hang my head in shame. When you throw such easy ones like that out there, you bring the family name down, too!!

 

 

PUTZ!!!!

[Bud]

A Katoom.

 

What's up with this?

 

4 spare airfilters (you need to carry spares on these bikes)

 

Oh well, I guess is is easier than packing a new rear end like some BMW owners have to do.

 

Congrats on the new ride you dirty dog.

 

Expect to see you in the Colorado 500 next year?

[soboy]

Mucho congrats, Steve. For those of you who might not be aware, the previous owner of your new toy is somewhat of a legend - check out his website (I think your KTM is on the first page):

Orange Rules!!!!

[Lineareagle]

OK so the comfort seat - is that not in the picture?

 

I didn't think REAL dirt riders even needed a seat!

 

Congrats, have fun, I can see the bumps but I can't feel them!

[Dances_With_Wiener_Dogs]

I didn't think REAL dirt riders even needed a seat!

 

Well, I'm not a real dirt rider, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn once! In fact, it was for a month in Munich...got home last Thursday...bike arrived on Friday...skinned my knees on Saturday.

[Les is more]

That's so great!!!! Congrats, Steve!!!!!!!!!

 

Now to boldly go where no RT has gone bef...Wait--your RT has gone to most of those places this one will just be cheaper to drop!

[eddd]

I'm envious! But I'm still liquid. If I started buying all the toys I lust for, I'd never retire!
