New toy for the boy 6 Months ago
|
|
Another turncoat has changed over to the orange side of town, and a big one at that. My son Tom was just starting to come to grips with the WR 450 and second ride out on the big kato, he got flipped off leaving him off work for a month and needing knee surgery. (Dickhead)
He's got about 2 weeks to fully recover now and he cant wait to get out on it again  .
Heres a few pics of the new 08 Kato 530:

08 model is it?? There is a trick,when the cam chain starts to rattle,I am pretty sure I did a post about it in the KTM section, when I did a review on the 530.
Awesome machine!!

Definately a loose cannon behind the bars  the gearing on the thing was 15-45 when he got it which was way too high, ok if you wanted to cruise down the road at 100mph but not much use in the forests  he's now put 14-50 on it which we are led to believe is the best combination so all he's waiting for now is
the wounds to heal

14/50 will work like a charm! Go have ride up the street on it. Worse thing is it will want to wheelie more, given the cause of his recent visit to the hospital that doesn't seem like a good thing!

The southern trips booked stm for the 26th april looking forward to it. Just need to persuade moto to bring a bike with him.
14/50 gearing seems pretty good sits on 80 in 5th now nicely and its a wheelie machine, not really helping the problem  . Everythings pretty well healed up now so another week or two and he should be able to get back on the trails.

That sounds like a plea for a trailer loan. Anyone?
