Dream 2nd Bike |

I bought the 690 because I wanted the ultimate jack of all |
|
trades. I don't NEED another bike...but I can't help what bike |
|
I'd really like to tool around on if I had more space in my |
|
garage/budget. |
|
Here it is: |

A British racing green Triumph Thruxton (only I'd want one with |
|
a bullet fairing). I love these things. I have no need for |
|
one. It'd probably just sit in the garage most the time...but I |
|
still want one. |

That's how I am, I can do everything on my 690. However, if I |
|
had the dough, I'd be rocking one of these too: |

A Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX. Just seems like it'd be a sweet bike |
|
to gobble up tons of miles on in the off chance I actually had |
|
time to ride tons of miles at once. Lol. Plus that Guzzi twin |
|
sound is super sexy. Then when you figure it comes with all the |
|
stuff the 1200 GSAW does at 24K for only 15 or 16k, seems an |
|
easy choice. |

I also liked to Moto Guzzi California; I don't know why, just |
|
the style... |

Don't mean to be raining on you guys' picnics, but have you seen |
|
the 2015 KTM 1290 Super Adventure yet? Just think about it |
|
Mickey......180bhp on an adventure chassis with all the |
|
electronic bullo-crappo you could ever imagine. I'm getting |
|
mine next May. It won't replace my 690e, but for the longer |
|
hauls. Bwaaaaaaaaa. What the duck does "Need" have to do with |
|
anything. This is about "Want." |

Fellow riders, remember your old uncle guymcflys rule of |
|
life.... |
|
"There is no such thing as too many bikes in the shed" |
|
I only have 3 now tho...a Harley custom, a ktm 350 freeride, and |
|
the ktm 690. |
|
But I have just been told of another bike I really feel I should |
|
buy.....😃 |
|
Btw, knowing my wife would have kittens if I bought the 690 i |
|
cleverly told her it was loaned to me by those nice people at |
|
the local ktm dealership😉. Aren't they kind? |
|
Funny I've still got it |
