To all my fellow northerners,I hope you guys are all ok? I got to thinking of you all when I saw the cold snap on it's way over to you! Had not been on my bike for a couple of weeks but went for a spin to the hills on Sunday.Glorious sunshine,(he shares like a true pain in the ass!)

I am still waiting to test ride the KTM Duke V twin roadster when it arrives here in a couple of weeks.But have to admit my head has been turned...I am fighting against the temptation of.......Ducati 999! I guess it would have to be an"s" as then comes with race kit and real sound exhaust!
140 horses and drop dead gorgeous.But I wont ride it hard,I am buying it only because I have a taste for the exotic,the exclusive,(ah ball*cks Im lying!) Just a couple more deals before end of March and one of those suckers is mine!
How much? yeah I know! 8) :lol:
God bless and stay safe!

or of it must be a bike like the KTM one of these, meant to be completely mental:

And take out the BMW insurance whish for £10 allows you to insure any second BMW bike, thereby buying both of the above will effect a considerable saving. Theres a flaw in that plan.

Hey Dr.Rich .....You taken a wrong term somewhere and found yourself among us Northerners? :lol: I have not seen that Beemer before but have to say it looks the nuts!
I watched the United game tonight( :cry: ) and those flurries of snow made me wince just looking at them!

No Cloggs not really although Im not sure. Its a naked version of the new sports bike. Apparently its unbelievably quick and a series of these will replace the boxer cup.

I second Cloggsy on that...this is a real funky bike.A little quirky(read...different) in the looks but not in a ridiculous way. Reminds me to some degree of the new KTM Duke heading to a showroom near you real soon!. The Duke reads great and I was and still could be very tempted as it sounds perfect for the real world,(i.e for those not trying to imitate Moto Gp/WSB gods on the roads)The big let down for me though is the 80 mile tank range!
However I have an invite to the KTM Day at my local dealers and if I have to take the Duke out for a spin....well alright then! (it is effing gorgeous in black!) :lol: 8)
