Twins have finally grown big enough to fit the clothes I bought for them months ago. New born size KTM? My arse

I imagine their exhaust system is already free flowing stock so no need to upgrade to Akro's eh?

How's the fuel consumption?

Amy says that they're always needing to be filled up. Only do about 70minutes to the tank-full. Do a lot of burping after fill up, some of the fuel comes out as well at the same time - on her shirt - like popping on the over run. After 70 minutes it comes out the other end. Same as it went in really but smells a bit worse. The usual, KTM familiar fuelling problems. And it comes out with a lot of force. Need baffle diapers fitted really - open pipes is not a good idea.

You can see that the two cylinders do not have to be equal capacity. Boy is 650cc, girl a 350cc. Still equals a 1000 twin but lumpy power delivery.

I have carbon fiber knee ligaments. We try to live a carbon neutral life. We all eat spaghetti carbonara with carbon spoons, off carbon plates. The twins are carbon copies of each other, almost.

I had a second go at making a carbon number plate today. It was not a success. I will post pics - but I can't get the finish to be good enough for my exacting standards. Millar, I may need your help.

With Millar involved, between the two of you you could design some carbon booties,,,,they would last forever
