Anytime you make it to Jax (oh and the KTM is running right!) you're welcome to take mine for a spin!



Just be easy on the clutch, they're a LOT more wheelie prone than the ol ZZR!

yeah I'd hope so... took me throw'n 60lbs of shit on the back to get the wheel in the air!

to be honest... I wanna get a dirt bike... as I have 0 off road experience... and it'll get me comfortable with wheelies...

Um, yeah, maybe the KTM will never be running when you're in town!

jk, if we ever meet and I'm on the KTM you're welcome to take it for a spin. I almost looped the bitch a couple times.

trust me... I won't be riding anyones bike like that... I pulled a couple wheelies on my ZZR... never really got the taste for them...

the only reason I want to learn is to be more adept at handling the motorcycle... so I know what to do... I mean... I know what to do on paper... tap the rear brake... or release the throttle or slip the clutch... but as it happened in my accident... I didn't have that instinctive reaction.

I just thought... uh... shit.
