Yamaha WR250F, but a recent<br />
ride on his KTM 350EXC-F<br />

HE OTHER DAy I posted a<br />
photo on Facebook of my<br />
KTM 350 perched<br />
precariously on a fallen tree with<br />
a caption along the lines of, ‘not<br />

sympathy and solidarity. Rather to my surprise,<br />
instead I got comments roughly divided into two<br />
camps. Those that had assumed that I’d got fed up<br />
with my yamaha, seen the light and returned to the<br />
