Ha, just thought I would enter with that...

Another piggy fan here. I've had my bike since almost new, and have riden it very frequently since. I have no idea how many miles I have on my bike, I just know its a LOT. I don't know how many other bikes can take the amount of riding and abuse that I have given mine, and still perform like it came off the showroom floor.

All my buddies have KTM's, and they all give me a hard time for riding a big heavy bike, that doesn't even have electric start. Well, I think its funny that I can still outride them on my old, heavy, piece-of-crap XR.

One of my buddies has a 450EXC, and all he can do is brag about how great it is. "This is the best bike ever man, this is what you need to get! Get rid of that old XR; you would be so much faster on a new KTM." I say, "Maybe so, but will a KTM last as long as my piggy has, and still go out and and perform every ride?" Since he has all the street legal stuff on his bike, he though it would be funny on our last ride to ride behind me and honk his horn all the time while I was just cruising along. This was out in the desert, so I was just putting along in third. Finally I got tired of it, shifted into 4th, and opened it up. Almost instantly after that, the horn stopped. I stopped a few miles later to let him catch up... BRP smile
