I love the smell of 2 stroke in the morning.

Me too only it’s a chainsaw What KTM is that?

300 xc. Great trail bike; loads of torque down low. Pretty easy to lug around and it’s not that heavy, only 225 lbs empty. But better be respectful of that throttle. She’ll scream like a banshee and throw you outta your seat if you ain’t careful!

Never too small for the job. Just unboxed the new hot tub!

Why did the Spyderco cross the road? To show Benchmade it could be done…oh!!! JK - I like Benchmade, owned seven over the years…still miss my ranger green bugout, just despise omega springs…the Anthem is a grail tho, a real coil spring like …..SPYDERCO!!!

I use to have a similar bike. 300exc. Was a beast.

Nice!!! Yeah I now understand the meaning of a power band after being thrown off a YZ 125 years ago, so can only imagine what that 300xc is capable of 🏍

Hey man nothing wrong those small bore smokers! They scream all day long. Not the best for trails and stuff cause they make so much power up top and almost nothing down low, but light as all heck and just fun!

It's got so much torque but KTM tuned the powerband to be more linear than the race bikes. It can be scary if you're not careful, but it also doesn't have that all or nothing hit of a 125. She'll happily tractor along in 2nd gear up hills and around stuff in the woods. Impossible to stall, it's almost a cheater bike lol!

Cruwear PM2 with some new clothes from RGT! Thanks CJK!!
