Woot!!!!!!!!!
An excellent sign of spring is the fact that ZED just headed out to work on his WR!
We still have knee deep snow in a few places in the yard, but streets are bare, and it is actually above freezing this morning!!!
Woot Woot I finally got out for a ride on on the KTM and the Guzzi, the KTM is one hell of a great bike I even managed a few kilometers on the dirt, got to love that suspension, pot holes? What pot holes? like they don't exist.
First ride on the Guzzi,
my God I love the sound and feel of this bike, I think I am in love.
Talk about having to adjust, jumping off the 990 on to the LeMans, ergo's are fairly good on the Guzzi, a few adjustments to brake and shifter and it will be spot on for me, my aging body wont be able to keep up to my terminally adolescent mind and I wont be able to ride as long a day as I do on the 990 but feels like I will be good for 400 or 500k each day

Well, if you ever feel the need to travel a long ways on the Guzzi, I'll be happy to ride your KTM so you can switch anytime you want.
It'll be a trial, but hey, what are friends for?

I would but as you said we are friends, and I think you would be disappointed after riding the XX there wouldn't be enough HP for you, and I couldn't put you through that, but I do appreciate the offer
You are a stand up guy that can always be counted on

That is one pretty machine
I think it would take about an hour to excavate my Monster out of the corner of the garage where it is stashed, and then it needs chain work to be road worthy.
However, I managed to get the WR out for a lunch date with ZED & some errand running.
Normally, I park my little bike on the lawn:
not yet....
It had to settle for parking in the driveway beside a snow bank.
