You know you're a 950 owner when…

Had this problem when I rode a Cagiva Gran Canyon....

Made by Kawasaki

You are convinced that you can go anywhere that the little bikes can

No shit. I get that same thing at almost every fuel stop:

"Nice bike - what is that?"

"Thanks, it's a KTM."

"KTM huh? Who makes that, Kawasaki?"

"Yes, it's a Kawasaki."

You know your a 950 owner when you look at a KTM 530 and call it a "little" bike.

Steve

You know your a 950 rider when the other bike just sits

And you often prove yourself to be correct.

I was told that LC8 owners are morally obligated to run slightly loud pipes to let the guy behind them know when to duck. Puts a whole new meaning on the saying "Loud pipes save lives"

LOL! I love that!

when you try to justify buying another one

What he said!!!

When your friends make you ride in the back because of the size of the boulders your tire flings:eek1

when you would rather have a dirty bike instead of a clean one

"You know your a 950 rider when the other bike just sits."

Yeah, my Ténéré just sits and sits and sits. It's a great bike, but it has made me appreciate my 950 Adventure all the more.

I know the feeling Tangai. My Busa has a new engine and I'm still spending all my time on the 950

I was forced they are being replace by the computerized 1190:



Then you spend most of the winter to transfer all the goodies from the old bike and pre scratched plastic to it:



And you keep the old bike and set it up for street use and convince your father to buy a 950 also (transalp he had is now sold):

When you read 39 damned pages dating back to May of 2010 after a single day of riding your new 950SE.

Brand new to OC, and I can almost see what I've gotten myself into. No bike has ever made me smile like this...on the first day and on god-awful Heidenau tires (which I'll replace ASAP). YES!

This bike is THE BOMB!

A similar sentiment expressed in post 561, among others...
Gotta love it, even when we do it to ourselves.

I just bought a 04 950. My mouth did it mainly but I love the bike I pick it up tomorrow. It is the silver one. I'll post pics when I get her home.

So what exactly did your mouth do to 'purchase' a 950?
