Don't confuse him Mabel, at least he didn't go for the all orange one, wonder if he'll finish the RD03 before he sells it

Tis lovely down round that area - I've not gone down on the bike yet, just in the car from my parent's to my aunt and uncle's in Sidford. Even the road in from Honiton isn't bad

Nice pics Chad - KTM is soooooo nice but Marmite is stunning also !!!

Slimie, You could become the KTM consultant here , for those of us who are tempted ...... but.
You need to keep us informed - reliability and above all running costs , that's the big turn-off for me , they seem awfy spanner hungry to me , the service times are quoted in days............. 8 hoors - I mean 8 HOORS!!! for the 9000 mile service and 4 for the 4500 mile one - JEEZ !!

The guys that sold me the bike (Albion in Exeter - recommended!) told me that the next service, 4500 miler is about £200 and the next one around £280. About what I used to spend on the BMW.

Guess I'll have to wait and see as the first one's due soon

Buuuuut, it's worth it, oh yes!!

Sidford? Did you eat from Bloaters? Next time you're down, 'specially if you're on two wheels let me know and I'll buy you a cup of tea on the seafront

Smooth talker, eh?!!

Looks like you had a great afternoon for your trip home, Chad

Thanks for the pictures, except one

The weather's been brilliant here for a few days, here's hoping it's a precursor for the future.

Love and kisses to all
