So woke up at 5am to get ready for the trip from plymouth to wiltshire to get the KTM. My driver, the useless twat takes about 5 phonecalls to wake up and get his arse over here. Lazy bellend.

Anyway, trip up somewhat eventless in a Nissan Almera 1.6

Yes, we collected it in this.

Wheels, forks, subframe, expansion chamber off. in it goes...

Along with the huge amount of spares along with it. 2 sets of plastics, headlights, gaskets, rings, levers, air filters, you name it.

Cram it in, close the boot, and fit 3 people in the car for the ride home.

I failed to call shotgun

Driver gets clocked going 92mph, so on come the lights and stuff, pulled over, asked what the hell is in the back of the car, and sent on our merry way again, albeit a little slower. a little. for a while.

Anyway, back home, back together, off for an MOT.

Fail

offroad only tyre fitted to the rear. fuckit.

Oh well, let's go out for a ride anyway.

Bidalliiiwww

3 ktms head off to the moors to tear it up, helicopter flies over and hovers for a bit, so we decide to make an exit. Cue police cars oncoming as we headed home, so naturally I legged it to avoid agro.

Anyway, get back to base, have dinner, watch a bit of tv, and it's dark outside. Great, my iluminous numberboard will be useful here... if it existed.

God invented maglites and electrical tape.

Got about 3/4 up before the back enf spun round and I ended up facing downhill. Gets a bit worrying when your back braking all the way down and speeding up as you go.

Needless to say... I love this bike
