The new heart for the KTM....kinda hard to believe there's 500 amps in that little package...

 

Covered under warranty though?

Just a weird thing all around.   Only Suzuki could put that atom bomb of and engine in a bike and fuck it up.    Just looks so weird, no wonder I have never seen one before, obviously not a massive sales success.  

I've never seen one on the road!

Never heard of that before, off to do some Googling 

I can only think of Burger King when I hear that name!

280 miles....these days I'm only interested in anything east from here. I'm absolutely done with the west side!

Pretty sure that OR alone is about the same size as the UK.

What's caused the difference between the east and the west?

and weird looking Suzuki, I have no idea never seen one before 

It's a B-King by the look of it!

It’s a cycle and it has a motor, you Mexicans and your overbearing rules.

I think we should show a bit of latitude and let it in! But it's Pedro's call!

Basic bicycles no way.

In 2016, a good friend of mine took me with him on his vacation to the NE corner of OR...I fell in love with the place! My property taxes going through the roof in Portland...So I spent the next 2 yrs. hunting down an affordable residence on the east side of the state. When we decided to sell, I went & bought a $5 For Sale sign....put it up in the front yard....5 minutes later, the next door neighbor came over asking if we'd take down the sign & they came over the next day w/ their realtor & we sold it for enough dosh to pay it off....buy this place here in Elgin....pay it off...& still have enough stash to pay the property taxes here, which were 1/3rd of what I was paying in Portland. Smartest thing I've ever done....love it here more everyday! Besides, the whole left side of OR has turned into an absolute over-populated Sh*tHole...especially the Portland area. Night & Day difference to where I live now.

Worked out well then!

How far is it from your old place......cos I know your States are massive?

It's only one and not that difficult to fit on a CB500F/X.  Even Pete with his noodle arms should be able to do that 

Not risking my Hernia repair!

Did I mention that I had a Hernia? If anybody wants proof I can give you that!

I can snoop around that area

Great stuff Scott!

Why did you decide to move to that area.......cos you're still in the same State aren't you?

This arrived today!

Going into Juan Cortes to get it fitted Friday morning!

Do you not get bits of shite growing between the tiles? 

It's murder trying to keep on top of it all here.

Though would guess at your altitude it would normally be too dry for it 

Nothing grows here......apart from fields where crops have been planted!

Alot more than your yard, though I'd bet you get loads of weeds still coming through 

Both patios are tiled.

To keep up the tediousity, if that is even a word, I have been tarting up my 45 year old picknick bench.    I should have binned it years ago but my Dad made it so I keep repairing it because it reminds me of him.   Bit like Triggers broom it will last forever.   

 

Oh and painted the gate as well, much to the youngest disgust, who demanded to know why I painted it orange then stormed off before I could answer.   Fucking psycho.

That garden must take a load of work Saul!

Why are they limited?

It's a man's life as a modern Gammon!

You might be too late for the St Georges Day riots Bob!

You English really know how to celebrate special occasions!
