Hey! We are two South African doctors busy riding from Argentina to Alaska (with Africa in the pipeline once we're done) Just put together a video of us blasting through Peru Have a gander!

I first found out about Rottweiler Performance from Facebook after I was about to get an 1190 R sometime around Dec of '13. I didn't end up getting that bike but two friends, Alan Clinkingbeard and Tolga Basol, did and they both got kitted out with new air intakes (and other stuff) from Rottweiler Performance. We did our New Year's Baja trip last year and we kept passing and getting passed by the Rottweiler shop ride crew and I was absolutely astounded at Christian Parker's (Rottweiler's lead man) bike from how it sounded to how I saw it perform, etc... I tried keeping up with him for about a half mile and soon realized that was folly It reminded me of the time I tried to keep up with Jon Beck on his 990 coming out of Mike's Sky Rancho. So this whole Rottweiler KTM thing was really a big part of me choosing this project bike in the first place, so you can imagine how excited I was to learn that Christian Parker wanted to help us out. I eventually did get to ride Alan's 1190 R off road at our Troy Meadows ride last year and was blown away. Then in Death Valley last December I got to ride Tolga's 1190 R and was equally impressed but blown away at the roar of that air intake. It sounds like a trophy truck! I originally knew Rottweiler Performance for their air intake systems but have come to realize they do a great deal more of a lot of key KTM aftermarket parts as well and will continue to be in the near future. Today was spent over at Rottweiler's shop going over our shopping list, doing a pre-mod dyno test and then getting a baseline db reading off the stock exhaust. Some photos: Working on a Porsche project A sweet KTM Super Duke 1290 for which Rottweiler makes a cool damper kit Our pre-mod dyno readout shows about 90 hp and 60 ft/lb of torque. We think we can get 7-10 more ponies out of this bike with the new air intake but more importantly shed 28.8 lbs (!) of weight with their "diet parts" kit of a new lithium Antigravity battery, SAS removal, 2 to 1 exhaust. Christian taking some baseline db readings from the bone-stock exhaust. Results were 92 db at 2' and 45 degree angle.

Going to do Taste of Dakar again?

Who knows if this will go anywhere, but what's 30 seconds of your time to sign? https://www.change.org/p/richard-scott-marco-rubio-legalize-lane-splitting-for-motorcycles-in-the-state-of-florida

In Okinawa, I had a dump truck force me into the curb. I knew I would loose that one, lucky I got stopped and stood up on the sidewalk holding my bike while the truck kept moving.

I would need to take my fat ass bags off to ride in that traffic shown in the video.

Well, it's not ALL tunnels, but there are a lot of them in there - Canyon Del Pato in Peru

I'd trust Bundy there because my knowledge of seats is next to nill. I've heard nothing but great things about their seats and they are tight with Dirthammers and ICON Raiden who are sort of industry friends already.

Forgive my ignorance. I was not aware that Seat Concepts is yours I think I called you a few months ago about a 990R Lior told me you were selling? I think you said something about a guy from Australia who was going to buy it. Can't recall exactly. Welcome aboard! If you'd like to help us out with a seat, I'd love to talk further. Thanks very much. E

I see you made the right choice. Just got my suspension done by Konflict, way to go with Alex, he's epic!!! ADVAddicts is of course the one, I must own 75% of the collection. No experience with Woodies... Pretty sure MXBundy is the owner of Seat Concepts, Maybe by his suggestion you can get the seat dealt with much cheaper and without the wait of Renazco. While mine is descent, I'm not sure its that much better...

Yup... Same Bryan. Drove through Arcadia today as a matter of fact.
