The Duke is supposed to arrive today and I have lost many nights of sleep waiting. As I wait I keep on imagining what would be "acceptable trail conditions"; and which would comprise the "unacceptable"

Maybe the experienced trail riders of this forum could fill me in?

In the meantime, maybe you guys can comment on some photos I would post and mention if they are "DO" or "DONT" 

Lets start with this one:

Bike did not arrive today. sigh... maybe tomorrow. dont think i could sleep again tonight..

In the meantime; would this be acceptable? If yes up to how high is the water level the Duke can take?

To the admin: dont worry about the bikes not being KTM's - will be changing them with my own adventures very soon!

Uhhhh... Duke arrived today, had a blast riding it - and after seeing it LIVE, I just cant imagine trailing it... looks too damn good! hmmm maybe I should save up for an exc... hmmm

Wow, I could just imagine that feeling when your bike arrives and you get to ride it the first time.

Yahooo!!!!


This was my first ride to Banaue, Ifugao

Hi Herc, cant see your photo, I reccommend the following:

1. Check to see that the photo is within 200KB
2. If not use a photo editor program to compress the photo to screen resolution of 72dpi and 300x400 pixels (thats should be clear enough.
3. Photo editor usually comes with your camera or phone software. If none you can use Windows photo editor and use the "stretch" and reduce your photo by "%" to be within 200KB

4. Once your photo is within 200kb press the additional Options link, and use the browse button to upload your photo!

Cant afford not to see the pictures!

Here was my first ride on my 2006 model. World's Edge, NC USA

Revisited this thread and thought I'd post some photos:



This was a Trail ride in Samal Island, Davao : Sep 2007

Same trail ride and was wishing for knobbies at this point:

Looks like an exciting trail to tackle. Thanks for posting, looking forward to see more pics.

Do those tires come in 180 x 17 x 55?
