Wow. Very nice.

Now you just have to try to forget it and focus on the track for two days.
No kidding, checking my calendar and the forecast!

no problem, my CBR is in the shop(left fork seal was leaking oil on the disc), or I would go with you guys. I have to put around for 2.5 hours then take it back for a break in service. Sunday morning I am going out to Swan MX in Tyler. I am thinking about betting a 2018 pass out there since they are open 365 weather permitting.

Did you get a new helmet too?

Maybe I will see you on a ride in the future, if time allows.

Have you wheelied it yet?

Seeing as how you have always been a kawi man, I gotta ask

1. What made you decide to go with the KTM
2. What do you think of the 390 thumper compared to the 250?

I actually looked at BMW 310 first but I had been looking at the KTM for several years. Big difference over the Kawa 250. The single pulls pretty hard from 1st and is much lighter and maneuverable. I was looking more for a commuter that had more modern stuff like ABS and fuel injection.

Nope, once a year at COTA is my limit.

Indeed, I️ am envisioning a clutch-less shift from second to third while leaned over at tombstone at MSRC 1.7.
