Cool New ride!
Want to start off by thanking my roommates Daniel and Aaron for driving with me to Little Rock, AR and back! Left at 7:45 this morning, got there a little before one. Headed out at 2, and 7 o'clock we're back in Denton. Thanks for keeping me company and taking the wheel for a little while!

Anyways, down to the good stuff. Its a 2005 KTM 625 SMC. Super Motard, for those who don't know! 644 miles, de-restricted, and thats all thats done to it! Its the most stock thing I own haha. He also gave me a set of black plastics for the bike in excellent condition, lots of information(brochures, owner's manual, etc etc.), spare parts, everything.

Here's a picture of it before we loaded it into the Avalanche. Hopefully I'll get some better pictures within the next couple of days!

I plan on backing it in with the stock tires

Gotta get a lot more seat time though, and find a track event soon!
