Changes
It was a torrid one year affair, but it just couldn't last. She was too wild for me and just always wanted to move too fast. After a few too many road side interviews and autograph requests along with some serious soul searching, I realized that I was no longer as attracted to this kind of girl as I had been in my youth. For the sake of my license and/or freedom and to be fair to her, we had to part ways.
Good bye, Betty. It was fun while it lasted. I'm quick on the rebound and picked up this sweet young thing at the same place where I dumped Betty. Say hello to my new lady Gertrude....aka Dirty Gerty. I'm waiting on some of the goodies that were ordered to show up in the next week or so and to get some new gear so I can go break her in properly. It feels good to be back with a simple outdoorsy gal that likes to get dirty with me. Her first bling.....a KTM disc guard/caliper carrier and a KTM USFS approved spark arrester. I also installed the map switch so I can swap between the two ignition curves on the fly instead of unplugging and switching wires. Just waiting on the skid plate, case guard, hour meter, radiator braces and bark busters. |

Congrats, John! I totally understand about the SD - mine is the best street bike I've ever owned, but I feel like it's always influencing me to do things that could get me in trouble.
Enjoy the 450, it's a great bike. Moira, do you ever get yours dirty, or is it track only? |

I think it is unlikely you will regret the 450. I made the 4 stroke switch in 2006 with a KX250f and loved it. This year I just stepped up to the 450 and it's amazing. I can seat bounce stuff and jumps out of corners with ease that I either had to work way hard on or couldn't do at all on the 250.
