ECE 22.50 rated full face helmet (thanks to Wes Silers helmet article), dianese gloves, icon leather jacket with full armor , kevlar reinforced jeans of my own design, some sort of sturdy footwear.

That was my first though.
What’s shown is the concept bike. But they said it will be in production for 2017 based on the KTM 390.
That would be my plan, have it in my living room during the winter and just stare. I bought my honda for $800. It’s a 1981, ran just fine but had a little electical gremlin. So I then decided to strip the whole bike, chop the subframe, fabricate some new parts and make it into something completely different. Since all…

In this order:
Audible Rectal Compression. Because it looks scary as shit.
I believe they’re trying to say Mercury (my) Venus (very) Earth (educated) Mars (mother) Jupiter (just) Saturn (sent) Uranus (us) Neptune (nine).
Thank you. I needed this list.

This sounds like the story of my CX500 that’s still in pieces, in my living room, with wiring diagrams taped to the wall.
