  1. The past two years I've worked our local demo at Mid Ohio as a follow rider. Typically they have 12 bikes, 10 riders so the leader and I take the leftovers. I rarely get the 1190R or 1290 SD but when I do, I'm all smiles! Every time I ride it, I want it. Then after a few days back on my beat up 950, I forget about it until I see one again. I was talking to Mike Laferty about my 950 at one of the demos and asked what he thought about the 1190 compared to the 950/990 platform. He said as good as those were, the 1190 does everything they do better. I'm thinking about keeping my 04 950 and selling the 06 950 S to buy one. The S only has 8,500 miles and though it has a few scratches, it still like new.

  5. I rode the expert loop with a group of 690's, 2 were factory rally bikes, the others were kitted 690 rallies. There was one I struggled to stay with in the rough, he goes by Cyborg on Advrider. I ended beating my front wheel half to death but a lead hammer fixed it good enough to ride home. What I didn't know was I may have pinched the tube. In the morning I pumped my tires from 20 to 36 for touring duty. Somewhere on the west side of Death Valley I just about washed out the front under braking due to a front flat. If you were at the riders meeting, I was the one across the drive from the truck where they had it, trying frantically to put on a new rear tire that Jimmy had ready for me to do the ride and my trip home. My tent stayed put only because I put 4 large rocks inside the corners and my saddle bags. I thought about going back again but if I do, I'm leaving from further south, Ohio in February sucks!!!

  11. The AT parallel twin is already generating huge interest/desirability. Seems KTM will be looking for crumbs on this one unless the machine is really something special. With their V-twin following, why can't they come up with a 500cc/700cc design paired to a 7 speed gear box? Give it a single fuel tank that's easy to remove, single front disc,twin wide spread headlight windscreen assembly,without any lower bodywork like the SE. 2-1 exhaust that's integrated under the tail using heat shielding materials. Long maintenance intervals would be nice. I'll keep dreaming till then!
