Nice Suz' there Richard. Bout time we had a few more discerning folk in the group to redress the invasion of the KTMs :mrgreen:

Hope to see you on a ride out soon, we've got one planned this Sunday kicking off from Tiverton (nice and close to you):-

Haha

Suppose I should explain the odd comment
apparently Gixxers and Gingers are in the same category, not 100% sure what that means, just something someone on here said, guess I should stop digging my hole lol

Would that be the same person who believes all gixxers have a default mode of "through any hedge" :-?

I thought that was R1s and ZX10s :mrgreen:

The only way to rise above all this nonsense is to own a KTM, or two...

Hi and welcome to the forum. Great to have another Gixxer rider here to join us. Lots of jokes about bikes spending more time in hedges then on the black stuff. But in reality we just wave and smile as we overtake :-bd

Lots going on at the moment with ride outs most weekend, pub meets for the Moto GP and a few of us are off to Cadwell for a track day soon as well.

Hope to meet up on a ride out some time soon.

Enjoy

What date you going Caldwell park, as I’ve got a family holiday to France at the end of the month,

Are you trying to say Have no soul mr Tuscan? ;)

I’d love to be over taken by a ktm never found one that could manage it yet, something about them wanting to spend more time riding in the dirt and through fields than on the black stuff haha

Yeah would be good, il keep my eyes peeled to see when the next one is posted that I’m able to attend
