Not T4 - Ducati 996

[Andburg]

Lovely bikes and seems you agree with my car/bike philosophy

Its not how much power/grip you have its how close to running out of it you can get that makes it fun!

Two new MOTs today!

And the KLX Its been 10 years since this was on the road, carb was gummed solid, front brake seized. A legal tyre fitted in place of the front knobbly, tyres pumped up, chain tensioned, oil and coolant changed.
Gotta say the KLX is way more fun to ride, 70mph top speed (gets there very quick), lofty (comfortable) riding position, light, agile, narrow - It's brilliant in traffic. The fifteen year old rear MX tyre is not exactly grippy on tarmac though, had a few slides

A few weeks back I took my DRZ for it's MOT too.. got to say I felt the same way.
No mechanical issues as it had only been stored a year but the float was jammed which resulted in a small puddle of petrol on my garage floor. Luckily I noticed quickly and so tapped the bowl lightly, which did the trick.
I took the straight roads to the MOT (passed) but on the way home I did the gravelly back roads and was doing wheelies and roosts most of the way.
Dirt bikes do seem to make you feel (and often behave) like a loon.

Good luck with that dark mental journey.

Few clues.....much like the new owner....

It harks back to the 90's

Questionable styling
