OOfah. I see a lot of KTMs on this trip. Does KTM still mean what it used to??

Mad
 
And the smack talk begins! I hope mine’s good because the KTM buzzard repellant was on back order! :teeth. The good news is that two of my old Hondas will be on this trip. I may have to repo the xr400 if the kaboom lives up to its name! Hey Cj have another tequila shot!
