Never It's enough

Hi guys.
They were quite turbulent days for me here, so just today I can correctly present my bike: a 2007 KTM 990 Adventure, "S" version.

She's like any other bike, but... she's mine...
So here go some pics which show her as I bought it, except for the screen (was stock translucid) and a non KTM panniers rack which is gone. Sorry they are at home for the moment, not the landscapes she deserves.

I have changed her look already with a Crispy Designs Decal Kit (will post pics later), and I'm looking for crossing Los Andes to Chile this weekend, for a water pump rebuild (preventive), other checks and also a few farkles at KTM

Glad to be "in"

Cheers!

Don't you think we should research if our bikes are relatives, cousins or something like that... ?

Thanks again for your tips by the way.

Here's my 2010 R...and no, I have no interest in a new 1190. This bike rocks on so many levels
