Before I start this post I was greatly saddened to hear that Tom Petty died yesterday!https://steemit.com/music/@awgbibb/bands-i-really-loved-tom-petty-and-the-heartbreakers

The Photo above shows a picture of an Off-Road KTM that I just took over from My Son, Wayne.

He purchased it a few months ago , but was actually looking for a KTM 300 2-stroke, a model he has owned before.

A day or so ago a Husaberg 300 came up , fairly new and it is basically a re-badged KTM and in excellent Shape!

So we had one of those Father , Son Chats, you know the type?, " Dad , I know you would really like to own this KTM 525 4 -stroke?" ( starts it up to hear that High-Compression 4 stroke sound) No more sales talk necessary, and, of, course , I took it for a ride as soon as it arrived here!

To cut a long story short ( Chris must never read this) this is now mine and his new one is coming , and we will go on adventures together causing dust storms wherever we ride!

This is about the Model Wayne is getting before the Weekend!

Another test of the Husaberg!

KTM 525 being used as it should be!

I have never Posted on our Off - Road Bikes before , We stayed on a Small-Holding near Tarlton for 10 Years and then moved to Breaunanda , where it took a Horse and Trailer( The Mechanical Type) to Move all the Motorcycle's and bits too!

All of us had Bikes to ride, Wayne, Geils, Shakira( FG) and Myself.

After that huge accident we had, Chris has never been on a bike again! ( Wrote about this in my articles on Lucas)
