Huzband Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I blame this on Roascholar & Whip. Roadscholar for letting me ride his last winter, & giving me the bug. And Whip, for telling me how much he liked his, & that Mrs. Whip said it is the most comfy bike she's ever ridden. Then, he really set the hook when he told me I NEEDED to get one. So you see, it's not my fault at all. Anyway, tonight I brought home the bike of my dreams... It's an '06 with just 3300 miles on the clock. I must say, the 21 mile ride home was the most fun I've had without trying. I can't wait to take it out & play. Link to comment
W. Mazelin Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 So you see, it's not my fault at all. You're right, it's not your fault! Link to comment

Huzband Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Just remember, you KTM is slower than my GSA!!! My A$$!!! Within 5 HP, 130lbs. lighter. Get someone to do the math for you, wise guy. If you doubt me, bring on the White Elephant. Link to comment

russell_bynum Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I guess if you just HAVE to have a lightweight bike with a phenominal motor, top-notch suspension, and enough fairing and luggage to make it a great adventure tourer, that one would do. Link to comment
sfarson Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Congrats. Good call. It is a fantastic bike. Rented the 990 version in Chile here: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=240376 and the bike totally over delivered. Link to comment
HappyMan Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!! Way to go. I love that bike. I've got a five year plan for a trip to Alaska when my oldest can ride my DR and I can take something a little bigger. Can I borrow yours for that trip?? It'll be old and worn out by then anyway. In fact I'd be happy to take it off your hands for nothin' just to help you out. Just give me a call. Link to comment

Mr Pou Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 That looks sweet, are those bags from KTM< or aftermarket? That bike looks ready for serious business. Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Imelda::Danny Shoes::Motorcycles BINGO!!! Exactly what I was thinking. I think Marty might have some competition. The only difference is, Chicago BMW isn't getting a cut. Shawn Link to comment

Whip Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Great things can happen, when you get off the Kool-aid. Go over to Orange Crush and get to readin my friend. I was just in Big Sky BMW and KTM here in Missoula and they have a 990 S that looks so nice!!! Too bad I don't have more time. PM sent Whip Link to comment
BFish Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 congrats...awesome looking. hope you like the seat....aftermarket may clash with your color scheme Link to comment
Whip Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 It already has a Renasco Seat!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW Link to comment
Richard_D Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 BEAUTIFUL but I think you should thank Bill instead of blaming him. And I want to thank you because you probably won't need me to help you through the stream crossings on that machine. Link to comment
Huzband Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 ...you probably won't need me to help you through the stream crossings on that machine. You're right, Rich. Next time, I'll jump the stream. And it only came in Gator colors? Yeah, that IS a problem. I may have to have it painted Crimson & White. Link to comment
Matts_12GS Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 You could always paint the blue parts white.... "Gimme that T for Texas, gimme that T for Tennessee..." It's beautiful Dan, thanks for bring it by! Link to comment
