KTM testing... Updated
I have been blessed in being allowed to test and ride some neat bikes recently in my life. The coolest overall experience has been riding KTM machinery.
I got to personally maintain and ride my very own KTM Super Duke 990. While a bit of a heavy machine and not really well suited in stock form as a track day weapon, I set it up the best I could and did rather well with it in stock form.
Of course, sliding it in sideways off the back straight at Mid-Ohio (top speed on the Duke was around 132-ish) was a LOT of fun. Wore out 5 rear tires in the short time I owned it. Hmmmmm.... Wonder why???
The RC8 was really cool. Got a video appearance and wrote a decent article about my thoughts. Was one of only a handful who got to ride one of the five even in the country at the time. An honor to say the least...

750 racebike... Updated
This is my 750 (05) that I had until 2008 when I sold it in the Summer.
Was originally my good friend Reuben's (35 Motorsports) racebike. The pics Rub1-Rub4 show how it started life right before I bought it. It came to me in boxes as Reuben was hurt seriously after a crash at Nelson Ledges.
Was probably the best bike I ever owned. Had a great soul and was such a great running bike. A bike that was from bottoms up a rebuild by Reuben and testimony to his build abilities. I just made it look pretty!
