I have been training people with Max. Max's "Two Wheels" Training for road riding.

Max is using Bajaj 180cc bikes, which in all honesty I don't ride well (not the tool ..the operator)...gear change wise that is....I felt badly about this and intended riding a bike over a weekend to become fluid with the gearbox...

BUT today all guilt evaporated...on the Wildog Forum I saw that Ktm 'asked' Bajaj to up their stake in them, (KTM),to 90%... so all this time I was riding a KTM.. no wonder I was struggling...clearly my blood must be blue, black and white!Smile Cheesy will be sooooo proud of me!

News just in from Austria: " KTM READY to RICE" is the new marketing slogon... and the bikes will come out with 'saffron' or 'achar' coloured rim tape.

Welcome to the dark side

Riding a KTM disguised as a Bajaj is better than the poor BMW riders on Kymcos or whatever it is... at least the Bajaj factory is responsible for production of most of the Vespa's in the world.

Na, it's BMW's quiet way of trying to woo you over to the "right" side
