That's a KTM990 Adventure courtesy bike that the dealer loaned me for the day when my 950 was in for a recall issue. That track is not hard to ride but the 990 made it hard work as the fuelling was sooooooooooo jerky. When I took it back they asked if I would like to upgrade to the 990, I politely declined Expand Thats the sort of road I loved. Nice and simple riding with time to look around. I was always at the back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could ride around it on the road but I gave up trying to ride it off road before I hurt myself properly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Posing at the top of Mount Jafferau on the Tenere 660z, negotiating a fallen tree on the Himalayan somewhere towards Lorca, doing my best to avoid the deep bit on the old DRZ400S in deepest Surrey, celebrating reaching the end of the Three Shires Head trail in the Peak District in the WR250F, putting the Tenere 660z back together after crashing hard in the middle of rural France and fracturing my right arm (didn’t realise at the time) and lastly, laughing with my mate Curly as we played on trials bikes with me on the Scorpa 250. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were around after I gave up muddy stuff on two wheels. I do remember seriously looking at a DT350 in the Old Damerells Whitemoor showroom years ago and thought how nice it was, but nothing more than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
