Hardly....he's DirtBike royalty...nothin' short of it.

Not doing a ride report...here's a few pics from today.

Who's David Bailey...one of Buckster gay friends?

Well I expect David Bailey must be shitting himself right now…

Back home....took a longer route to get back....good thing the Harley boys didn't come..the roads were ruff litter with pot holes...their would have been some rupture spines and twisted pelvis for sure...the 5 inch fox suspension on the indian handled those like child plays...

Was yours an ADV ? My fuel consumption never changed, it was 17km a liter or 6l/100 if you prefer it that way around. Speaking of 950's I found this in my YouTube feed, very interesting video for 950 fanciers.

And don't forget "Line Dancing Redneck" as well!

Been labeled as a Potcher by Pete over the years.... but again, thats coming from a guy who has a definite spanner-phobia....

OMG !! I used to take the air filter out and clean it every fifth ride on my 950's . A dirty filter will kill your fuel consumption and your engine eventually .

Over here he would be called Billy the botcher

When i was in my late teens we used to have an older guy that fixed bikes in his garage his name was Dai potch or potchy for short.

A much better reason than riding to a cement works ..................

Met Gary at 09.00 this morning and got home at 21.00 tonight so in 12 hours you would think we'd ridden about 500 miles but no we only covered 120 miles spent most of the time talking It was good to catch up with him probably been over five years since we last rode together he's 61 and retired all he does is cycle exercise and ride his motorbike jammy git. And only managed to take one photo all day

You can almost smell this one....

Not my favorite either Bob....but the machine looks like it'd be riot to blitz through the twisties with.

None that would fit my bike, there are Kwaka, Honda etc but no actual KTM ones and the prices are outrageous when you include postage, anyway the ones that I have are going back in so we are trying to find a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.

No, Lionel, it's au naturel mate!

Remove the tank shrouds and the plastic covers that are either side of the radiator, and unscrew the large tank bolt at the rear of the tank (I'm sure your already there). Underneath the left hand rad plastic cover there is the horn, and a couple of plastic electrical connectors. The horn and one of the electrical connectors (can't remember which one) needs to be disconnected. Shut off the fuel tap valves that are at the front lower part of the tank, both sides, they look like small (10mm dia) silver valves. Disconnect the fuel lines from both sides. The fuel pump is attached to the left hand side inner surface of the tank. You could either disconnect the lines that run to and from the pump (=faff!) or pull the fuel pump from the tank (easy). You need to pull it towards the right hand side of the bike. The pump is mounted in a large rubber block, which has 2 slots in it. These 2 slots fit over 2 metal tongs. Its quite a tight fit and takes a bit of effort to remove, helps to have one person lift the tank and the other work at uncoupling the fuel pump, but you can lift the tank and rest it in a lifted position to give you more room to work on the pump. Once the pump is disco'd the tank should lift off. Its a bastard of a job and the bike seemed to be running just fine, due to the age of the rubbers I think it took two of us about 30 minutes to get it off, anyway it doesn't matter now and I look forward to the enhanced performance from the new filter and cans.

I should never have bought that van from @Six30 Motors!

it's ok you will come round just look at those slicks
