You can believe what you want sunshine, its all good! You’ve been hanging around Moto too long I think! :woohoo:
Yeah Scotty, I still think the graphics on KTM’s are rubbish. I have never liked them! I have a long-standing history of KTM graphics bashing, but only because they deserve it! Even a banana looks better!
Great fishing here today!

You’ll keep melonhead!
So sue me, I like nice clean single, not flogged out superhighways! I thought we rode dirt bikes to get away from all that crap not to find more of it! Maybe you guys would be best if you kept your commuters to the fire trails or B roads with that nice shiny black stuff on it… what’s it called? Tar? :laugh:
Me, I’ll be on my WRF in a tight little single trail with no other bikes within earshot. Just the way I like it!
Dave’s Husky 610 did the same at the end of the Safari. Who woulda thunk that 3800km of racing would cause anything to break? :laugh:
Dave uses a local guy in Orange for alloy welding, did a mickey mouse job on the custom bash plate water tank. If anyone is interested I can get the details for you. Long trip for a small job though!

For those not in the know, it is one of the over-used tracks behind the Clarence motocross track or in that area anyway.
So much for this thread about the new KTMs… it was gone before it started really! :laugh:
Well as understanding as Mrs ECKS is, there is a limit and I think me running off to play motorbikes while there is a new bub to deal with would be pushing that limit! We’ll see, I’m not ruling out making an appearance but there is zero chance of me being there the whole weekend. I am hoping to make either the Saturday or Sunday. Fingers crossed anyway!
G’day Dusty! Welcome to OBT! Yet another KTM300 I see, and based in God’s country (Lake Macquarie) you lucky bugger! Hope to see you at an OBT ride some day!

Trust me, if I can be there, even for one day, I will!
You still wouldn’t read about it… our bub’s due date is looking more and more like the Louee weekend! Out of 52 weekends this year bub had to pick this one! That should give you a clue on the sex anyway! Bloody typical! SPEWING!!! :blink:

The old and the new all in the same thread…ahhhh the diversity of Old Bulls :laugh:
I love how you can turn any thread into a complete mess within 10 posts – three if you try hard enough!! Even, or is it especially your own threads! :laugh:

Nah, who could blame anyone for not updating the bikes much this year? Besides, and I am sure Yamaha will agree with me here, when you are on to a good thing, why change?

True that BC, and it must be pointed out that Yamaha still make the TTR250, a design older than a DRZ but still quite capable of running around the trails. I see no reason that Suzuki can’t do the same with their lineup.
Hahaha! Pissa, nice one Mick! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I have to either start posting more crap or find a way to cheat! I still haven’t made 1000!
