One of my town's Police Commanders is a friend of mine. He is an ex-pro motocrosser, and has a wall full of trophies to prove it. He also has a number of scars and orthopedic hardware to prove it too.
He decided to quit racing and has taken up dual sport riding. He is an excellent rider.
He bought a new 2013 KTM EXC 500 :P . Drooooooool. The best of the best! I was very honored that he let me ride it, and very happy I did not crash it. Waht a wonderful machine!
It has the power of Roger's KX450 but much smoother and broader powerband, PLUS a great enduro/DS suspension.
We had a great ride.
I rode my wonderful KLX today.
My helmet is only off for the picture. You all know I always wear a helmet.
The Commander.
