That sounds great, definitely going to have to pick one up. I have a bald head and sweat when it’s over 75 so I will probably be going through a few helmets, that’s okay though like my brain where it is and my face intact.

Thanks for the advice! I already have a good set of protective gear, but I will definitely check out Aerostitch, it sounds really nice. I plan on spending as much as I can on protection. I really enjoy being safe. I also believe you can’t have too many options and I’m always looking for something comfortable and…

So fucking close to the walls with their heads... I'd be spooked in a full cage race car. These guys are super-human.

Thanks I’m so happy to be apart of this community now. I’m also considering trading in the four wheels for two permanently. Picking up a beater truck/tow vehicle and a decent bike sound like a good combo right now. I’m planning on going to the track, just feels safer to me and I highly doubt I’ll ever be “fast” I’m…

Thanks for the response! I know hat there are way more advanced techniques than MSF (which I had a great time doing this weekend) I watch the videos to try and identify and stop any bad habits that I might be inclined to do. Mainly I watch the videos for entertainment and to see what happens when things do go bad so I…

I want it.

I call it “File Cabinet Grey” and it looks amazing on that car.

Gross.

I’ll take Gordon Ramsey + Dune reference for $500

Haha!!!

Those google searches would take me somewhere I don't want to go.

Thanks! I’m so happy to finally get to do it and I’ve bought gear that made the salesman and my buddy a bit jealous that they didn’t get to start with. I can’t wait to get it nice and worn in. Haven’t studied for anything in 14 years and I’m up at 11 on a work day going through my handbook taking notes! Can’t wait!

Would make a a kick ass work truck, weekend adventure mobile. I like it.

lol “Denver”

My driving instructor drove one at my track day and it was plenty fast. He had done some slight mods (maybe +15hp) but nothing insane and I had a great time on a ride-a-long. For real life and not getting in trouble it is plenty. On the track in he right hands it kicks ass. Also it does seem to take to mods very nice…

Thanks! That’s a nice deal. My friend is telling me to go 300f as well. I do love me some Honda reliability and their service network is pretty large. Where I’d have to go to L.A. (60 mile drive) For the closest KTM official dealer.

sorry to ask but, do you live somewhere with warm weather? My concern with the KTM is the heat it apparently gives off. I live in SoCal and I could see this getting rough. Thanks for your first hand knowledge though. Quirks and Maintence don’t bother me too much unless it’s excessive and ridiculous.

Really just aesthetics. I really like the styling of the KTM and the more upright riding position. I’m not against the ninja though, probably give it a test ride if they let me.

I appreciate your advice and I agree. I misspoke by saying testing limits, I wouldn’t do that in my car I certainly wouldn’t do it on a bike. I meant that comment referring to the limits at which I’m willing to ride which are WAY below the bikes and even my physical capabilities just like with my car. I definitely…

Thanks! The two Grom owners I know are experienced guys and they do exactly that screw around when hey aren't on their big bikes. The KTM is my first choice unless the 300f just blows me away. Excited to be apart of he community everyone has been very helpful and supportive.
