    I believe KTM did this to allow a smaller crankcase on the old bigbore.   Not sure the later model SMC's share the same design or not, but I'm not a fan - just more leak points in my opinion.....but I only have to change it every other season, so it's not a deal breaker

    LOL!  Sorry to hear you had the usual baptism of oil when doing your first oil change. It takes a bit of technique/experience to avoid a mini Exxon Valdez episode. Now that you've done it once the next time will be much less messy. The 3rd generation 690 engine does away with the oil in the frame concept. Even the filters are easier to get at.  

    Hope you have a enjoyable trip to Vintage. I plan on being there Saturday and may ride up Friday if I can get away from work at noon.

    Hopefully will cya there.

  2. Gary, good seeing you.  Sorry we were headed in opposite directions. Your Kawi looks even better in person. Nicve work!  

    Did a quick tour of most of the fun roads. 147,9,145,556,260,565,145 to Woodsfield, 26,148, 9 >home. As Justin noted all in great condition.  I'm going to have to start taking mental health days off mid week to take advantage...

    Gary thx for the update, now i know where i am heading the first off day i get to vent my frustration of 21 straight work days. :D 

    @EOdesmo and his bike has a folklore status now, you ride on some roads east of 77 on a weekend statistically u have a high chance of coming across that sexy bike. 

    Nivin,  you need to get the S3 down here for some mental health fun :D

    This is the traditional signal for a signal being on. The middle finger at the end is optional but strongly recommeded.

     

     

    Sorry for the group ride newbie mistake. Once I received said hand signal Nivin, it took another 5 miles to realize what he meant... DOH!

    Its been a while since I've had to pay attention to group ride etiquette.  

    Nivin, please delete the annoying footage. Not much to see there, even without the blinker brain fart.

    Jim, thanks for the hand signal refresher course...  Have too agree with Pauly, nice robe.

    That is the spot and you are more than welcome.

    I see the desmo in your name, be aware that if you bring a Duc that every Duc that has followed me except two has crashed. One crashed twice in one day. There will be one other Duc but she is one of the two that doesn't crashed.

    I should also point out that people in my group get first choice of donuts.

    Thanks Tonik.  

    See you folks in the AM.

    9:15ish would be my guess.  If I remember to turn my tracker on I will post it up here.  I probably will remember.

    If you folks don't mind I'd like to jump on the back of the HATE parade in New Concord.  Meeting at the intersection of Rt 83 and 40 Fuel Mart or ??
