You know you're a 950 owner when…

9, and it was some younger kids on 600s. Was fun runnin em down in the twisties.
We need to RIDE!!!!

You spend the last month trying to figure out what is going to replace your shagged out 04, and realise there is NOTHING quite like it out there.
Then you get excited about spending the next month and 5k or so rebuilding a 7 year old bike.

I had a dream last night that I was wheeling my 990 effortlessly like a trials bike.
I'm injured and been off the bike for over a month and I'm starting to exhibit withdrawal symptoms.

You accept that you will be changing tires as often as oil

You aint on the throttle hard enough if they last that Long

Your buddy lets you ride his, and two weeks later you drop your savings on a 9 fiddy. Spend the next three weeks in the doghouse, read this thread, and realize that your screwed just like every other 950 owner, and dont care.

I get giddy each time I walk past the damn thing. Until I read this thread I was worried there was something wrong with me.

Wait until when your farkle list rears it's ugly head to the Misses.......

You pull up to a crowd of bikes and everybody runs past the GSes to check out your 950. Including the GS owners. Hee hee. True story.

you have wanted a GS for years and then you don't

When you have an Aurel cable.

When you seriously look over the other bikes in this segment with an eye towards actually owning one of them, and after a couple weeks come to the conclusion that the KTM is still the king, and a whole lot more bike for the money.

When you realize you will always be labeled as a bad example for other motorcyclists due to the loud pipes and obscene wheelies.

Heck that be easy , went you change front and rear tire twice each oil change is more acurate iff you run 908 rear and 606 front

That's why I buy MEFO SE backs from you!!
I can at least get an oil change and a half from them.

When you realize that you can have to much power on a metal road :eek1

And that if you change into 3rd gear during a wheelie that means your over the speed limit

when my wife says to start telling people KTM stands for

K= kick ass
T= tough
M= machine

i love her. ha-ha

When its the only Bike she has every really noticed (being orange helps)

+1

Exactly this.

When you talk to your ex-girlfriend and she asks "How is Katie (my 950 sm) doing? I really miss her"...Hey, what about me?

Or when an older couple in their 80's are stopped at the light next to you and the woman rolls her window down and yells over to you "Hey, that looks like one really fun motorcycle!!"
