What would you, with a crew cut, know about tucking hair in? My hair was just fine after the ride, and, is not an issue for me. Also, the 2015 basic Calif spec Duke does not have any nannie options other than anti lock brakes. Owners of the new revised models complain that they will not do wheelies and stuff, but, the older base models are more crude. In other news I took my dog Mustang out over Mt Emma this morning to run some fuel through it as it just sits most of the time due to Covid restrictions, and, it felt like an old Buick, all floaty and loose, and quite a contrast to the KTM on the same stretch yesterday. And, my Mustang has the GT Performance Package, with supposed handling ups. Riding a proper motorcycle can really point out how lacking in performance most cages are. There also were tons of motorcycles out and about today.

I would pay sooooo much money to see you with an Ariana Grande ponytail stuck to the back of your helmet...bahahaha...do it do it do it!

No doubt you are unaware that the KTM's speed is in Km/hr, and thus you thought that it was MPH.....

If you wish the biggest numbers for speed, you push the Mode button repeatedly until the ODO mode is active and keep the Mode button depressed until the display mode changes from km/h to mph, or mph to km/h (page 37 owner's manual).

Must have been a bike that did not get on the video, since I found out later that the Velocette rider physically disconnects his rear brake to add to the excitement, so, a leather belt would be a major step up as far as braking goes.

I just turned off the traction control, kept one foot on the brake and kept the brake pressed hard, and then matted the throttle. I was on MT DR's and they are pretty sticky, but, it is a water box, so, generally, they spin pretty easily. All of us found out years ago that it does no damage to the brakes when you hold them to do a burnout, manual, or auto trans, so, I also used the same technique for a manual, except one has to come off the clutch and onto the brake quickly to do a burnout with a manual. It would be more difficult on the street, as the auto in the 2012, at least, was soft and never did 60' well. In fact, it felt as if Ford took out power in 1st gear at launch. NOTE: It is not as easy with newer cars that have all the nannies, and, I am not sure about the 2014's, atlhough they should be the same as the 2012's.
