Hi,

My name is Doug, I live in Texas, 51 yrs old, just bought a 2008 Super Duke, black with 4300 miles on it. I have ridden it about 200 miles, and other than needing a rear tyre, I am impressed. I am a sport bike riding race track guy. I currently also have a Husqvarna 610 SM.

I work at a nuclear plant and I am in the final throws of a divorce. Cannot wait to start playing with the SD.

Woo Hoo!

Welcome dude!

Steal some of that expensive inconel they have at the nuclear plant and make yourself an end can and ditch the boat anchor exhaust!

Nice in Black!!!

Let's see, there are 2 nuclear plants in Texas, actually there are 4, but it is 2 at each location, one in Bay City and one near me in Glen Rose.. I am in Granbury, 25 or so miles southwest of Ft. Worth.

I do a bit of track riding at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson where I am a member.

Not too shabby for an old fat guy. I am getting slower as I get older, the Super Duke may turn that around.

I ordered new tyres and a set of Carbon Fiber slip ons for it.

Woo Hoo!

Howdy y'all, I've been a long time admirer of KTM and have finally made the plunge with the 1290 Super Duke.
