The way ahead

Today I test drove a new bike.

What an astonishing experience. I've had a look at a couple of BMWs...did nothing for me. Then my mate suggested this KTM 1190 Adventure. I must confess, I'd never heard of it.

What a machine. I've had three Honda Blackbirds, the last of which I've posted photos of on blip. It's a gorgeous machine, but although it's fast (understatement of the year), it's also big and heavy and just hard work.

This KTM...ah... Pure pure fun. Fast, light, agile, poised, fast, safe, controllable, nimble, fast and most of all...fast.

I was blown away. There's a whole load of technology going on in the background with this thing which makes it one of the safest np bikes to ride, and it was so so so so relaxed and chilled and just sheer damn fun!

Gotta get me one. Bye bye Blackbird. Hello KTM
