Openhouse & KTM Demos at JTs, Sat April 3rd

[code]

egg hunts aren't all day I can pull off both I'm sure or maybe ummm..not

Actually, you should do the KTM demos first because sign up is at 8:30 a.m. and I would imagine they fill up fast. The egg hunt is like 11 a.m. to 3 or something. Not sure of the whole schedule. I'll check.

Anyone going this Saturday? I thought I'd hit the open house, do a demo ride then take a ride around the countryside before my kitchen pass expires.

Bump - anybody going besides me?

If I am not working I will be there, chances of that 0.1%.

lets see if I got this right - they cut your pay, cut your hours and then scheduled work for you on every riding opportunity?

[Wingfixer]

Seems that way, don't it? They aren't too good at getting me home on go-home day either, which is why I missed Granville's ride. You might say I am not too happy with my job at the moment, resume is getting updated as I type this. The good news is I will be changing my schedule next week to a mid-week starting day so my weekends should be unmolested.

I'm not, but I took the KTM out for a spin last night and met a guy fishing at Riley's Lock (there's miles of virgin dirt from Georgetown to Hancock, MD to ride. Nice and easy too). He'll be up there on his GS but he's looking at either the 950SE or a Multistrada. Try and talk some sense into him - I mean a multistrada? Offroad?

Multistrada isn't any different then taking a strom or any other large bike off-road. If you have it set up correctly and have a competent rider on-board, then the limit is to what extent the rider wants to push it. I honestly have come to the conclusion that the gs, strom, multistrada, uly, and even the ktm 990 are about the same ridden off-road. Sure each one has a slight upper hand here and there, but each one is a pig. Conclusion...don't bash one of those bikes for the rider attempting it off-road if you own another. None of them are "great" true off-road bikes. (KTM has the upper hand out of all of them though they break down just as often as beemers ).


I just saw that the first demo group is going out at 10! WTF!!!!!!!!! I live 45 mins. away, so unless I can do a ten mile loop alone and blow thru it, I'll never make it back in time for the easter egg stuff Freakin' Out
