A kick starter! I thought they went extinct.  ;D



Probably as minimalistic as a speedo can get



now to bed with them for the night


Yes, I know the tires are mismatched. It had a Dunlop Sportmax Qualifier on the back too and the chain was chewing up the side of it. I have a matching front to the Pirelli MT60-R I had put on back on order.

As I understand the story, your lovely wife got it a sibling. 

Still... looks like stupid-fun!  [thumbsup]

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Very nice.  Congrats!  If I had another garage where women weren't allowed I'd follow suit but my wife would find out.   Must continue to pressure her  [evil]

That she did, early birthday present for me.  [thumbsup]

Can't tell you too much yet as it's been pouring here all day. I did do about 50-60 miles of running around that pouring rain though.

Nice!  Don't get confused, I've not seen too many kick starters on that side!

Yea, it's a KTM thing, might be European, Husky & Husaburg might be the same.

Nice  [thumbsup]. I dont think there's anything orange I dont like.  

Are you gonna keep the SM sized front wheel or go to something more off roadable?

staying with a 17", just putting the matching tire to the rear on.
Not planning on doing real hardcore offroading just the local dirt roads that the Duc doesn't care much for and occasional trails keeping in mind that I can't go balls out on them with this setup.

Nothing like a dual purpose bike to have a blast on; and get you into trouble  [evil]

Dual purpose bikes, still one of my favorite types.  Anyone else here remember running the roads on the old two smokes?

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
