First ride of my KTM in bonny Scotland, went on my fav road up hear to Arrochar from Faslane, tis a wicked lil road, its like a tarmac MX trac full of table tops following the edge of the loch.
Was a bit to cold and wet for shenannigens and me rear wheel was spinning up quite a bit so only got full air on one of the bumps, can’t wait to go again when its dry and I can hold some speed over the happy bits!
For all those without facebook I appologise for no images, my photobucket is playin up. hope most of you can still see them tho!
December 6, 2008 at 12:18 am #57159TT07ParticipantWide open spaces and plenty of room to play on the KTM by the look of the pics, will the 750 be going out for a blast as soon as the weather allows?
December 6, 2008 at 12:25 am #57160HippoDronesParticipantHahaahaaah am kinda kicking myself re the gixer, was gonna go for a spin tomoz on that but realised when I was kitting up for the KTM I seem to have left my leathers at home!
So shall be bringing them up with me in January. Tis annoying coz the gixer will be in its element up here. But I got 3wks off for Chrimbo so not up here long. Am home next weekend

December 7, 2008 at 1:01 pm #57162RadarModeratorLooks great up there, I last did serious biking in Scotland in 1987 on my GS550. Must go again sometime.
You are in pole position for photo of the month already…
December 7, 2008 at 2:31 pm #57163HippoDronesParticipantI’ve been chattin to some of the Scottish contingent of the KTM forum and am hoping to get out with some of them after Christmas, The phots from those rides will be spectacular if the one with them at the highest point on one of the hills with their bikes half buried in snow are anything to go by!

December 9, 2008 at 10:32 am #57165imperialdataKeymasterI remember having great times on an old 125 trailie in deep snow. Great fun and a soft landing every time.
I expect to see pics of you looking like a snowman very soon!
