So the Dizzy Kid asks me about the bike, what brand and all of that, he tells me he has a KTM SX125, I respond cool bike. He then goes on to tell me he's once ridden a "Gixxer 1000", getting it up to 195 MPH. I chose the easiest response by simply saying "Cool". Having just got rid of a '03 GSXR1000 and know they don't do "195" I figured this is just "adolescent bravado" and chuckled to myself, I probably have said similar things at his age.
Anyway, what made me chuckle the most was his closing statement while still walking around my bike, "This thing looks like its from the fucking future.".....Yes, Yes it does I thought and thanked him for the compliment.
As I left I made sure to Blip the RS-22 a bit harder than normal, yup the adolescent coming out of me in that moment. The SDR never fails to impress.
