KTM 950 Adventure showed up at my house this morning at 7am for an early roll out. Of course he was early and I was in the shower so after a couple cups off coffee (diet cokes for me) we were off at 7:30.

We then stopped at a Cemetery in Springfield. 950 was going to show me a grave marker that had a story on it and was featured on TV but we couldn't find it.

950 furiously searching!!! (I didn't mind that we didn't find it .. I got to have another smoke and take a few pictures)

950 is Old School ... he doesn't own a computer ... we actually use the "phone" to set up rides :) :) :)

I was like "fugg!!! Where is Kevin going"

I almost called Juice this morning too to see if he wanted to go riding .. but 950 showed up early and I was running late so I forgot about it!!!
