    Hey Dude

    The choices are endless , being an elderly rider I have ridden and owned many endure bikes over the past 10 years . My favorite was my 2011 KTM 400 exc , it was I believe the perfect capacity with more than enough power without beating you up on a long ride .
    After the sale of the KTM I have since owned a TM 450 , Beta 300 & now have gone back to a 4 stroke in a Beta 390 rr which Is very much like the old KTM 400 with a very smooth and usable engine but as with most bikes the suspension will need to be sorted to suit your weight ( hope this helps )

    Cheers

    And they wonder why people get shot

    Had a feral bull come in from the forestry and get with the cows. when he seen me he headed for the bush flat chat down the hill. He was 200 meters away but by luck I got him in the back of the head and he dropped like a bag of spuds.
    Must remember to tell this story next bike sale.

    Reminds me of a sub human at the local track. Kid came in from practice and said it was too wet to ride.
    After a major amount of swearing and calling the young kid a c*** a few times he packed the bike up and said he was selling everything and drove out.
    Puddles was even there.

    Got up at 5.30 and milked cows. Came home to bacon and eggs. After breaky went and buried a cow with the backhoe and had a brilliant idea of using it as a swing to send the kids into the dam like they do on YouTube. The spot I picked wasn’t the best and almost tipped it into the dam on a practice swing so relocated to a flat spot. Lifted the first kid 4 foot of the ground and put the revs up for max swing. A quarter of the way the handle they had broke sending him into the ground like a bag of potatoes with a sore wrist as the end results. Decided to give that idea a miss and go have a few beers with the inlaws before milking the old girls again.

    New quad bike after destroying one that was 6 months old.

    A New Jersey that the old girl found in the cupboard the looks pretty similar to one I picked up at one of the OBT birthday rides.

    A top day with family to boot.

    Merry Christmas indeed.
    Power steering packs it on one of the tractors.
    Nick home and look up parts numbers on the interweb.
    Ring tractor place with my list to get a recorded message “see you on the 12th of January”

    At least I have an excuse to go riding now.
