    Bizarre post!? :pac:

    I think the chicken lines are making it look like the tyre has squared off.
    I don't think it has.
    Could attack the bends with more gusto though :D

    No trouble no.
    Front brakes are fairly piss poor is the only gripe.
    A bit more power would be nice too.
    Can't stick with KTM powering out of bends.
    Would reel them again though ;)
    My mates Baghira in the last pic,well he blew a few gears out of it a while back so he gave it good allover seeing to while he had the engine out.

    Few months back, riding my new Harley Fat Bob in Vancouver.

    You might all see it in Dublin one day.

    On days like this (snow and rain and freezing cold) yes, but when I am on the bike not so much.

    It's a surprising bike, I always thought it was an old man brand etc, but this one has good kick, and looks modern enough.

    This is my other one. 1979 FXEF Shovelhead.

    I posted a photo of this when my son bought it awhile back, but we've swapped bikes for a bit so this is what I'm riding now.

    A Ducati 821 SP Hypermotard

    6034073

    She's the absolute dogs bollox to ride, I love it. It reminds me why I love motorcycles.

    When its a bit drier out I'll try it on RACE mode but in the meantime on SPORT mode if its not terrifying me and making me feel like a northside hooligan.

    I'll try get clearer photos shortly.

    Non dct one.
    Also know someone that had a dct one.
    Which is yours?

    I went with a manual. I think an automatic would take some of the fun out of it for me!

    Although my next car may well be my first automatic car.

    Yeah my car is automatic and there's no way I'd buy a manual again.
    But I drive my car like driving miss daisy :pac:

    The lad that had the dct AT said once you get used to it it was good.
    I was meant to take a spin on it to see what it was like but he sold it and bought a Ktm1190.
    I'll take a spin on that instead when I meet up with him again :)
