    I've always fancied doing some off road riding, so having just turned 60 it's kinda now or never :rolleyes: I've sold my Honda Superdream and Bantam, joined a local Enduro club and bought a KTM 300EXC off one of the members.

    I'm entered into a practice event on Sunday, an 8 mile course through mud, open terrain and woods with the objective of surviving a single lap without needing to call the body armour into action. Wife thinks I'm mad...........

    One of the lads at work has a KTM (might be 650), he absolutely loves it, I think he's tuned it and changed the exhaust mind.

    Doesn't look too bad either!
     
  3. Nice one , spent a few years doing enduros on an XR250/305 in the `80/90`s - great fun , you`ll love it .

    Top tip is don`t get stuck and exhaust yourself digging out the bike , trust me ...

    Nice. The front tyres on KTMs last forever as well, as they are usually in the air.
