KTM Demo ride day, May 4th

[rmemedic]

Well, there is word out there that there will be a KTM demo day held at Gopher Dunes on May 4th.
There will be motocross and trail bikes, 2 strokes, 4 strokes.
Not only is this a great chance to try out some sweet bikes, but it could be an opportunity for some of those still on the fence about riding dirt.

The track is deep sand and gets really rough, so don't be discouraged as a new rider or a rider that is new to sand. Just keep the front wheel light and the throttle open and it's a blast!
The trails should be open and they are a blast to whip through.

I'm not sure who to get in to contact with, I'm pretty sure you can go through lockhart's oddesy in courtland to book your spot, and maybe a few other KTM dealers

Any idea what the "dropped bike" policy might be?

Thanks, I'll be watching this... Love KTM big bore bikes.

I doubt much damage would even happen Keith, unless you really piled her in

Ah, sorry I gave the wrong date, this was just from memory.

If you manage to damage a bike at gopher dunes on the track, then you were likely really haulin the mail... I've crashed there many times and don't think I've ever damaged the bike doing so there... Now a tree in the trails could be a different story.

And I think I might possibly know a pro or two that is expected to be there, but I won't say anything since I can't guarantee my word.

Quite tempting...anyone know if M1/2 is needed and what gear would be needed?

I put my name in for this yesterday. I just emailed chad@apexcycle.ca and he responded saying that my name is on the list and he will be sending out registration forms soon. I'm pumped for this, I so hope they have a xc300 there to test ride. For you guys out near Whitby, should probably contact someone at GP bikes to sign up for this. I originally talked to Dave at Parker Brothers, but he is no longer in the bike selling business and isn't a represnted dealer unfortunately.
