    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    I will have to confirm this but normally you fix it or you buy it.

    I just got word that due to the insurance company the minimum age is 25, not 18.

    No worries, I was just curious. I'm sure it's happened.

    Looks like I might have to skip work that day and finally check out a 1290 Super Adventure!

    Re: Want to ride a street KTM??

    I just got clarification and it looks like the bike is covered by KTMs insurance. (probably why the age got raised to 25) You will sign a waiver that KTM is not responsible for any injuries but that is it.

    Re: Want to ride a street KTM??

    So is this the full KTM line? How's it work? Do they take you on some sort of group ride or do they just say "go have fun!" ?

    Oh, yes, please!! Please have the RC8! And please consist of a ride through some curvy mountains roads? As opposed to within the city?

    If it's anything like the Ducati demos, the ride will be through some *cough* twisty bits in the DTC Broncos Pkwy area.

    We believe there will be the Duke, Superduke, and RC390 available in addition to all the adventure models but no RC8. It will be a controlled group ride in the area, typically the route will go more south through Inverness rather than north through the tech center as there is less traffic. They do try to have a little fun but the pace does have to be reasonable.

    What happens if you suddenly find yourself "lost" from the group and it takes another 45 minutes to find your way back to Fay?

    I'd need at least a couple hours to get lost correctly.

    I would like to ride the new superduke, but I don't want to get in trouble when I do a giant fucking wheelie

    Linky? Does this require pre-registration. Really interested in the RC390... Time? Place?
    Respect and truth trump all!
    I don't get lost. I explore.

    Re: Want to ride a street KTM??

    Some of the details are in the first post, it is at Fay Myers on Friday, Sept 25th. It runs all day and registration is the day of the event. I believe there will be RC390s and I am trying to get confirmation.
