Well, its a different experience, I'll give you that. Adjusting tyre pressures so they are lower rather than higher. Minimal braking and skidding the back out... pretty damn good fun!

Went with _Iain_ to some private area and put the KTM to good use Mr. Green

Nice pics, is that an EXC or an SX? The KTMs are fantastic bikes. Half the battle with riding offroad is actually finding somewhere legit to go (or where no one will bother you = non existent) Thumbs Up

Looks like you have been having fun lads Smile

If you are going to ride through deep water,make sure that the carb vent tubes are routed up into the airbox otherwise dirty water will get sucked up and damage the carb slide and also cause other problems.

I'm not going to say I felt like a kid again... Whistle

We probably did 3 runs through it each... suspension up front was fiddled with previously so you don't have any bouncy bounce.. but once home we tweaked it and it should be far nicer on the wrists next week Mr. Green

Looking good Thumbs Up

I need to sort my TTR out, head gaskets gone, hopefully I caught it in time and haven't damaged the engine due to lack of oil. Here's a couple from a while ago.
