Bonjour mon ami ?

Hi Stewie, the owner of the Exxon Valdez , KTM division.

Hi Nick, I reckon you'll fit in here just fine. This guy is a legend where 'tank selling' is concerned ?

I hope so ?

I've put the word out on some of the forums and whatsapp groups i'm on ?

? ? ?

You can get a hellava lot of tea bags in there ?

Ah ! I see who Jess is now. I was chatting to her partner at the ABR Rally last year.

Hey Tym, remember these ?

I've used peaked helmets for over 20 years, in fact I don't use anything else. My favourite is the Arai Tour Cross, I've had four of them all told and I never have any vibration problems but I'm a shortarse (5' 8 '') and I think that helps. Last year I bought a Klim Krios Karbon which as it suggests is mainly carbon, it is superbly light but the peak is rubbish for hiding the glare of the sun. The Arai wins everytime on that score. https://www.motardinn.com/motorcycle-equipment/klim-krios-karbon-adventure/137537290/p?utm_source=google_products&utm_medium=merchant&id_producte=10604620&country=uk&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6oO96Ob86AIVgevtCh3jewQAEAQYBSABEgLSF_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

What a great adventure. I have a mate who lives a couple of hours south of Limoges, great area for trail riding.

That float bowl is very clean, you obviously have better fuel in the States than the crap we get.

Hello, nice to meet you ?

Yes, that's quite a collection you've had there. I remember your XR650L, was it you that sold me the side pannier racks ? Here's the XR650L I had..........

I don't know if it's me but that pub looks just like your sleeping pods

Hi Terry, long time no see. Hows things with you?

Nice to meet you Sofia, take no notice of Buck , he's still just as grumpy as ever ?

What's wrong with it Tym, is it worn or just gummed up with all the shit they put in the fuel now. If it just needs a refurb then see if you can find someone who's got an Ultrasonic cleaner. We have one in work and they're ace, strip the carb, bung it in the cleaner overnight. Flush it clean in the morning and then reassemble with new jets and you won't believe the difference ?

Hello Mawsley ?

Wrong side ?

Hello Rigs ?

I think he did, he also got banned from KTM UK forum as he spouted on and on about the holocaust being something made up by the mericans ?

I had a KTM990 Dakar for a year as a stop gap as I was waiting for the KTM790R to come out and the dealer I got it from had agreed to take back the 990 in part exchange. When the 790 was announced they called me up and asked me how much I was expecting to pay, they then told me the price (£11,995) and I told them where to go. I loved the 990 but found it heavy at times and 37mpg was a bit fruity as well so I turned my attention to the T700. All the reports from the magazines and web sites were raving about it but Yamaha were playing silly buggers in regards to how you bought one. There were none in the dealers show rooms, you had to go online and order it, BUT it was on offer for the first batch at £8,399. I took the plunge knowing damm well that I could easily sell it if it turned out that I didn't like it. I waited 3 months for it to arrive , ran it in before the first service and now I can't bloody ride the it because of this bloody virus ?

Interesting Alan, a few owners have mentioned jerky fuelling and it was worrying me slightly before I collected mine. Fortnately mine is smoother than a smooth thing and so is my mates. Judging by owners reactions on other sites I reckon you're pretty unlucky if you end up with one that has bad fuelling.

What we need (especially with what's going on at the moment) is a conspiracy theorist, bring back Zzzzzzzzzzzack ?
