    Yep it turns too easy, some of the boys on the Coffs ride commented how smooth it looked (but I just put that down to rider skill ;) ) Plus the 2011 and on bikes get the closed chamber fork, mines a 2010, but I got the fork resprung and revalved and the shock resprung with a progressive spring.

    Airfilter access is probably the best there is, just got to make sure you dont drop any crap down the injector, I use an exhaust bung in mine when cleaning an air filter, other than that its a KTM with blue plastics, most parts between the 2 are interchangeable which makes getting parts easier.

    Ive got a 450 Berg and its effing awesome. It can chugg along if you need it or wheelstand through every gear and rip your arms out of the socket. That is just on the standard engine map, with the high power engine map i’m sure it would be a good desert racer.

    Yeah I was goating around last night but it seems everyone but me can see the “goat avatar”, on my screen it is still the old KTM bike cover.

    Pump it up Azza

    I got one of those from supercrap autos a while ago, not a bad thing. Good for sucking oil out if you put too much in as well

    That was a sick trip Hatto!

    I reckon most bikes will have an average of somewhere between 25 and 40 km/h

    A lot of my riding has been single track but sometimes you have to flat track it back to camp and that brings your average speed up I guess.

    My bike has done 2336 kms, 64.9 hrs and its only 6 months old

    Just get a 390 Berg Nick don’t worry about dealer support, since I got my bike I only went back once for the 3 hr service to keep the warranty in check. After that I do my own service and get parts from a little bike mechanic that is 2 mins down the road or order online.

    I was telling my Brother how good it was (making him jealous that he had to work), I think I will be back some time early next year.

    We had such a good crew assembled and every had plenty of food and Mal took on Chef duties on the big BBQ and keep the food turning over. It is the one time I get to look at the group together and see how much fun everyone is having and the stories about their days riding. It is those moments where all the effort to put a ride like this together seems like no work at all. It was great to see Moto, LC4skin and Menace back at a ride and they were keeping the drinking pace up to a level that few others can match! I made the mistake of sitting down next to Menace during the auction and I left my balance at the table when I got up to present a prize to TB :silly:

    I drink like I ride :P :P

    Unfortunately the same can’t be said for old faggy elbows Menace :laugh: :laugh:

    Twin lens snow goggles are a good option too, don’t wear your good ones because they scratch easy and are heaps more expensive than moto goggles, plus the strap gets stretched too far around your helmet. I have an old pair of smith ones that do the trick.
