Mugello is go!
on: May 25, 2013, 02:50:38 PM
Tomorrow my brother and i leave for a little spin.  :008:

He will be on his trusty klv 1000 and I will be on my CT.

This will be the CTs first major tour so looking forward to it. We will at the nurburgring for a couple of days then down to Italy for a week in Tuscany and taking in the moto GP at Mugello.

Ciao!

Enjoy the trip. Long days are where the comfort of the CT comes in to its own  :031:

Oi mister, you aren't going anywhere until you tell us how your test ride on the KTM 1190 went  :013:

About time. You may go now  :038:

Seriously, thanks mate. You didn't have to write your impressions at 5am though  :028:

The KTM sounds nice but your comments about the soft forks and "sat on" riding position are disappointing. I'll have to try and have a test ride on one but i don't know where (I test rode the SMT and Adventure at Redline KTM in Loughborough and was quite pi**ed-off with them as i only got half an hour on the Adventure and spent half of that fighting with a loose mirror and 45 minutes on the SMT that had a teaspoon of petrol in the tank so i wasted half of that time finding a petrol station and re-fueling). Not keen on going back to chain drive though and until BMW reliability improves i won't even consider the LC no matter how good a bike it is.

Hope you and your brother enjoy the GP you jammy buggers

cheers . . . Terry
