When you go out of the country for business for 17 days and when you return its 25 degrees and the first thing you ride is your 950.
When your about to let my KLR riding cousin (2 weeks) on the KLR, Ride the 990. Oh the envy he will feel.BWAHHHAAAAAAHHHHAAA
When people ask you how it rides and you reply with your favorite quoted review: "it's like riding a lion with a severe case of blue balls"[emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
When you sell the one you bought brand new 4 years ago and it is still the only bike you can think about. I gotta get another
When after 8½ year of ownership (and 90000km) you start to like the idea of getting a new bike, but still you know you'll never ever sell your 990.
After starting your bike, you go back inside the house and for a split second you think "why is there a helicopter hovering above my house".
You know you're a 950 owner when you roll on the throttle in a right hand turn and the rear wheel breaks lose in a power slide while the front wheel comes up in a wheelie.
When you pass other brands of adventure bikes on a gravel road and they don't know what just went by.
When you roll up to the gate and the smokers and thumpers wave the organizer over and ask if your bike (and rear knobbie) are legal entries. [emoji1]
How funny, I got this "Helicopter" comment today, while in a parking lot. A security guard comes out and told me that he thought a helicopter was hovering over the building...damn akras hahahaha Regards, Mane

When you bring your 950 adv s to the launch of the new Africa Twin and it gets a bigger crowd around it then the two new shiny AT's. Of which I rode both and could take them or leave them really. I got back on the 950 and the smile as always on the ride home was from ear to ear. I'll never sell my baby.
