When it is a FE KTM that's when....


Looking a little Honda-ish... Very nice though!

That side panel/air box cover reminds me of a Paris Dakar Rally bike.

The air box looks so much better than the big white billboard minus the bills that the factory bikes have. Whoever designed the 15 kit needs to be sent back to the warehouse.

It looks more TLD-ish... But there does seem to be a little more red in the plastic than orange? Looks good imo.

They do look kinda "Tahitian" in person; but, they ARE "Orange".

They are the best looking and EASIEST TO FIND when you're in the stadium.

The muffler length is fairly hideous.

Those and the chain block are made by Akropovic in Europe...they are nice. Hell, I run the Akro-skid on my bike!

What did ya think of the TLD pits?...they are among the best run operations in the game.

It definetely didn't look Like a Honda in the Whoops saturday, more like a pogo stick haha. Which made Nelson's ride even more impressive. Looked like he was catching Malcom early on, but started losing time in the whoops.
Nice looking bike though and really happy to see 28 upfront so far.

Nice very nice. Everything Troy does is first class and lunch was not bad either! A big thanks to Carrie for all of their hospitality and of course Lucas Oil for getting us lined up for lunch!

Tyler seems to bee too nice to be a Team Manager... LOL... Good guy though!

In the post race pulpcast Nelson said they made a shock change that affected him in the woops but may have helped elsewhere on the track. Sounds like they will be changing back for next week.
