A friend just picked up a new 2020 150XS KTM yesterday and will have his track all tilled up today.
Can't wait!

HA!! If I tried that? I'd be easy to catch. . . .I'd be the one laying sprawled out on the ground with a crashed bike. o_O But, it sure as hell looks fun. "But, a man's got to know his limitations."

I am easy to catch for sure , I can do a straight line for sure , its everything else I suck at . well not completely true , seems I can plow through thick brushy trails pretty good , cause you can't stand up on the bike the limbs will knock you down . and I sit pretty good.

Did he pass the/his old man?
On a real track he can pass me about anywhere, this track is pretty tight and narrow so when I feel like I'm holding him up to much I'll move over.
I think he passed me for the first time when he was 16 and just kept getting faster and faster. I think that I've reached my maximum speed and it's all downhill from here on.

nothing new here . most everything on lock down . weather is bright and sunny with the temps in the low 40's at night 60's during day . great camping playing weather but all is closed . I could ride at a friends place but working on weekends has even nixed that . soon I pray all will be open again.

One day it will come to pass that I may feel I’m to old to play with dirt bikes. and no more than I have been able to ride mine ,it may be one of those rare almost mint antique bike we see occasionally out there . Some day.

a few post back I mentioned replacing tires on my Tenere , and I have a short review here , the Pirelli scorpion stl are great as far as grip , have a nice turn in , are mostly a 60/40 , good tire ,but. and here is the but , the front is nice and quiet , the rear is as loud as a Heidenau or louder . and along with the normal Tenere engine whine ,wire , mechanical symphony is over whelming with out ear plugs . there it is . would I buy them again , no. at least not a rear.
