You know you're a 950 owner when…

You'd rather change the rear tire than pull the crash bars, left tank and skid plate to change the oil and clean the filter screens.

Yes I know you can do it without pulling the tank and checking the oil tank screen, but sometimes its good to open everything up and peek around for problems.

Have the Minuteman 1000 next weekend and doing a thorough once over.

You also know your a 950 owner.
When it takes near all day to do the valve adjustment.:eek1
(Our bmw gsa takes around 1 hour tops )

You know your a 950 owner when Your friends keep sayin " I didnt think a big bike could do that" As you follow em through MILES of technical singletrack. (Gawds I was exhausted though)

...people make you stop to ask directions for Dakar.

people ask "who makes KTM?"

...they think you're lying about rear tyre wear.

Yeh. But, do you realy ride it off road?

They say.

Wow, that things big (as they sit on their lowrider)

Wow, that thing is fast up to 110, what kind of 1/4 mile will she do?

Its very- Orange


When you first get it and,

there is gas all over the garage floor
one tank drains and the other is full and your low fuel light comes on way early
it backfires like a mofo

You get the bill from your mechanic!

If it's orange...it's expensive!

Mine stopped going to a mechanic, and believe me, the bill is a LOT cheaper!

You smoke half a pac & empty your camel back waiting for the bmw riders to catch up

...when youre considering buying a BMW to REDUCE maintenance costs.

if you have some different lengths of extensions to mess around with you can pull the oil tank screen without pulling the fuel tank too.

You hear the words "How did you get that big thing in here?"

awesome thread especially who makes ktm ?

You have small giggle to yourself each time you ride your bike.

You start to laugh out loud as you put on your riding gear even before the engine is started .

...when people say "Can you reach the ground on that?"






No, not both feet!

you can't stop looking at advrider and plannin that big trip.....again and again!
