My OG mend has started.

Little moto's do not suit my mechanical knee. That is range of motion that will not improve. Even the tall and mighty DU CAT bothers the knee after a bit.

And just to confirm I am not too worried about feeling like the bike is too big or fast. I have gone through some of these "periods of body fixing" and not riding before.

I am a huge proponent of going out on my own at first. My bike, my brain and zero other riders to worry about. I love to just spend a bunch of time counter steering.. braking... working trail braking etc. thinking the ride through and getting those automated aspects back in use.
 
I wanna see you riding a KTM 990 Duke R.
My 890 has exhaust and some tuning, but relating to your 'price of gas', etc....,
I hooned across 36, USFS route 1 and some freeway bombing, without twisting the throttle too hard,
and averaged 66.9 mpg over a 240 mile run.
That's almost like I'm getting PAID to ride, right?

Santa Cruz Mountain is calling, line 3- heck you already have all those roads memorized.
 
I have found the “when you start riding again” tedious. When we’re passionate it will come.

That would be the ticket. Not all memorized, but very well known. :thumbup

That is pretty amazing!

At my age the cost of gas is becoming irrelevant. Yeah.. it bothers me.. but on a moto not even a 100th of a second where I would consider not buying it.
 
I used to know all the roads in the Santa Cruz Montains, from riding my bike and before that, from terrorizing Porsches in my VW bus. The mountains were always fun.
 
I got thru the 70's gas crisis, empty tanks, closed stations, that all DID happen.
Sold my sporty, by-by peanut, hello BMW, 6 gal, of Dino.

We are paying NO-GAS prices, now, , ,
What will happen when stations close ?

Anybody ready to boycott fuel, shut down the country, maybe a riot or two for funs.
I'm surprised it is not $10, now. Who will be brave enough to be the first?
