North Alabama Middle-Aged Teenager Meets Love of his Life
« on: July 24, 2014, 05:09:03 pm »
Yup,

My 2014 KTM 690 Enduro R and I met at a dealership on 6/13 and got married right there on the spot.  850 miles later she's had her initial service and is running better than ever.  She has blistering acceleration and incredible responsiveness due to her low weight and high power.  Her steering was a might bit twitchy at first, but I lowered her with a Koubalink and now her steering is very stable.  That made the biggest difference, and now I can hold her up comfortably.  So I've certified 'Thumper' fit for active duty in ground operations involving high levels of, shall we say, mischief.  I'm due for some of that mischief now so I'll close.  I hope you guys are enjoying your 690s as much as I am.  My Harley is jealous, but lately I just can't stay off my 690.  That acceleration is addictive.  Bwaaaaaaaaa.

Welcome to the forum Bart!  Yeah, the 690 can turn into a hooligan.  Have fun.
