Crashed a few times in the eighties (which was more or less obligatory as an 18 year old 350LC pilot)
Didn't really consider it a small bike museum at the time, but here's the largely euro twin themed one I ran in the midlands about 15 years ago (in truth the R1100GS at the back was much more of a part time exhibit as it actually doubled as regular transport)
My current museum has much more of a KTM singles theme (2001 640 Duke 2 and 2015 390 Duke)
With the regular transport role now filled by my SV.......
Haven't ridden the green 'un in ten years, it's probably a bit too hardcore for me now - think I might have to sell it.
The little 390 was an absolute riot (think 50hp mountain bike) right up untill it blew it's head gasket at a ridiculously pathetic 6000 miles
I really must get around to fixing it
Occurred to me riding the SV to work last week that if SVs had been around in the late eighties my bike list would probably have been a bit shorter. Would definitely still be some KTMs on there though.
