Tall bikes are cool, I like my Strom so much i'm getting it jacked up next week!

That KTM looks cool like, adventure bikes are very different but still great fun. Definitely worth trying.

Looking good TLW, nice in blue for a change. Looks like I need to get purchasing a suitable machine myself now.
