As most of you who know me, know i am a dirty dirt bike rider at heart... street is my second love....

So i finally bought my dream dirt bike... Always wanted a KTM.... and finally after hard work, i not only have a KTM, but a full on ready to race off road enduro machine!

So i bought a used 08 KTM XCR-W 450 from Faye Myers... Thanks to my good friend Jeff Hernandez over at RPM, he hooked me up with Dave Burke... He gave me a sweet deal. It is a bike made to race off-road from the factory, with a wide range gear box...(6 speed)

in the mean time, i bought my wife a 06 Yamaha TTR 125 to learn on, and a whole new set of pink FOX gear. So, this gave me kind of a "go ahead and pimp my ride" session..

Well long story short and $3k later i have my total and complete dream bike.

So here are some picks... the first one is day two of owning TANG...

Oh, also got a new trailer too, in the last pic.

This is a pick of her after rippin her down and cleaning, and adding goodies.

I'm not sure you can post images directly from Dropbox. You might have to move them to PhotoBucket.

Congrats on the bike.

Some help with dropbox:

First, I assume you have copied the images to your Public folder, this is a must. After that you right click on the image, click on Dropbox, then click on Copy Public Link. You can now paste the link which will look like this: h ttps://dl.dropbox.com/u/22531107/tuono.jp g (without the spaces) into image tags and get this:

Yes, it is an '09 Aprilia Tuono, a true factory streetfighter. Take an RSV1000 sportbike, strip the plastic, add handlebars and don't change anything else.
