A Honda rider, a KTM rider and a Yamaha rider were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze after a long day’s ride. All of a sudden Saudi police rushed in and arrested them, impounding their bikes in the process. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offense in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the booze, they were sentenced to death! However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to successfully appeal their sentence down to life imprisonment.

By a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi national holiday the day their trial finished, and the extremely benevolent Sheik decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip. As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheik suddenly said: “It’s my first wife’s birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping.”

The Yamaha rider was first in line (he had drunk a six pack), so he thought about this for a while and then said: “Please tie a pillow to my back.” This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went through. The Yamaha rider had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain when the punishment was done.

The Honda rider was next up (he almost finished an entire stubby by himself!!), and after watching the scene, said: “All Right! Please fix two pillows on my back.” But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through. The Honda rider had to be carried away bleeding from the arse and crying with pain when the punishment was done.

The KTM rider was the last one up (he had drunk the rest), but before he could say anything, the Sheik turned to him and said: “You ride a KTM. You support the greatest motorcycle producer in the world. I myself ride a 530 and have many EXC’s in my fleet. For this, you may have two wishes!”

“Thanks, your most Royal highness”, the Ktm rider replies. “In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes!” (KTM rider are tuff)

“Not only are you an honorable and powerful man, you are also very brave” the Sheik says with an admiring look on his face.

“If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish? What is it to be?” the Sheik asks.

“Tie the Honda rider to my back.” The KTM rider replied.

This is so so disturbing on so many levels,
KTM riders get drunk
Want a honda rider tied to their back, presumbably in “the” position
Then they want the honda rider to be whipped!!!

Mmmmm this is a new form of deviancy even further out there than that of Motos.

So glad I am a yamaha rider in all this.

Mmm reckon they’d ride CT90s with the same ability too, still whip my fat butt even if they was on z-50s.

I ain’t an expert on trials bike champion Taddy or the big Pommie from the isle either, but didn’t they do well on other brands as well?

this is what a ktm rider hears when someone mentions Motocross La La La La La La La

Mr very very Blue

Normal for ktm owners, think they’re 6’4′ and bulletproof, PDS will fix that delusion.

Ecks what about jumps? you didn’t find the control to centre the bike under you was easier?
probably where I noticed the biggest improvement was steep steep stuff both ascent & descent and when in the air.
I s’pose each of us has different styles and preferences, but I wish they’d been around 30 yrs ago now.
I know PDS was around 30 years ago, it was just called Mono-X and Yamaha tried it and it sucked then too.

I once had an IT175H that ran with no discernable compression at all, you had to run start it and the end gap was measured in imperial eigths of inch, and where paper thin when I pulled it down, new kellogs base gasket new rings in it and sold it to a school mate for $250 he rode it for ages before the crank bearings failed after a extended drowning.

Mr Rat I have an ’06 pro-senior here that destroys starter gears and clutches like u would not believe, despite junior not blipping and being on it as much as any 8 yr old I’ve ever seen can, yet his KX just takes petrol and a bigger flogging every weekend, admittedly the KTM goes like a whippet on amphetamines, so is ours a friday afternoon version?

BTW his other pro-senior was a pearler and his old MA50 was a dream but both of them kicked him around on small sharp stutters.

BTW Mr Rat orange blinkers are dangerous accessories from the hard parts catalog and should not be used under any circumstances, they rob your wallet, blind you and keep you emotionally stunted . funnily enough they are very popular in Australia

Mr BLUE

Can anyone answer me who was the “Flying Freckle”
Hint it is KTM related

I cant access DBW from work as it has “Adult Content” which is way wrong… very few adults anywhere here or there LOL.

I can’t access anything at home as telstra have yet to fix the severed cable in my street after 10 days, Nah no staff cutbacks there at all…..

Nah Moto that was my Grandad, he was a big big bloke.
Me i’m the smallest in my mob only 5’10” 220 lbs even my lil sis is 5’11’ and 220 even my daughter is 11 yr old 5’6″ and 72kg … but see i worked in the timber industry sawmilling/treefelling/logging most of my days from 15 yr old so you sorta get fairly good muscle developement in that upper body in that game, most of the younger blokes could pick up a railway sleeper or two. 😆 but I am just a fat old fella now

Do Pommies “Float” Moto?

have fun watch out for white pointers and don’t forget your togs, try putting a couple of potatoes down them for “extra” effect

Nice one on the boots too, sounds like a good Rep

I have a fairly high hand and wrist strentgth and tend to manhandle the bike a fair bike these days so i tend to loosen my grips all the time… have tried hairspray,quik grip, petrol, Petrol & tape, Paint, Contact adhesive, only thing that seems to go any sort of distance (ie; more then a few hours) is good contact glue (or epoxy) and tie wire.
All of the above methods work on my mates, but even if i ride their bikes I lossen the offside in a few minutes.
Before anyone has a shot about excessive grip technique and to loosen m grip it has worked for me for near 40 years and arm pump has only ever been a factor a couple of times after a few hours (5) of extreme S/T.

Good price at that Eagle, not a fan of sliders in sandy gritty country as they can become good emery cloth quickly, and on blown seals…. isn’t that an eskimo pastime ??? :laugh:
