Second one - :lol:
He tried to hold it with his left hand, it rolled forward and his attempt to steady it meant he rolled the throttle on.. once the bike is off there's no stopping it.

Had a deal on this today for Will. KTM RC 125. It's a little bit of a project as it needs some work to make it reliably usable as a daily for him, but I think these are cool as fuck for a 17 year old to tool around on.

Collecting it Sunday all being well.

Because of the KTM place just down the road you see a lot of these. It's a cool looking bike and has a bigger bike sound than a lot of others I see about 😎

The Barry doth protest too much!

It only got the nod over your Z900 because it has the Pokemon keyring :lol:

The test ride was fun. I had zero damping in the forks! I’ve got an Abba Skylift coming today so getting up on that and forks and rear shock off is the first job, getting them rebuilt by Abel Suspension.

Just needs a good service and a new battery other than that.

Will is super stoked to be shortly doing > 28mph :D
