new to Ktm
« on: November 26, 2014, 07:49:06 am »
I've been riding dirt bikes for 35 years. I got into sport bikes and road racing in my 20s and continued to ride them until 2013 when I plated my CRF 450x and road on my first ADV ride. I bought a KLR 650 to see if I really liked it as much as I did on that first ride and did even though every time I went out I broke something. So I bought a Triumph 800xc and found it to be just a little to big for some of the trails we end up on. That led me to buying my first KTM, the 690. So far I'm loving  it all 499 miles I have on it. that was done in one weekend. Work has been a ****. I'm hoping to get out on it a lot more now. hear is a little video since I can't figure out how to post pics.

Welcome here.  Looks like you've found a good fit for what you want.  I'm new to KTM as well, coming from a F800GS that I tortured for 35,000 miles.  Let me tell you, the less expensive tire replacement alone is a breath of fresh air.

Welcome to the forum!  There's a tutorial about loading pics under the "faq" section.  PM me if it continues to be troublesome.  Where were you riding?
