New 690s in the Bitterroot

I actually bought 2 (two) yes really 2, KTM 690s in a week last
week.... I sent a link to my son about a 2012 on consignment at
the local KTM Dealer with 3600 miles and $2k worth of goodies. I
bought, he claimed it. He went to the bank and got financing.
Wasn't going to argue so I told him when I sees the money, the
bike is yours. Then, less than a week later, I see on Craig’s
List a second used 690 at the dealer, a 2010 with 1,600 miles.
This one had only the luggage system and skid plate (neither of
which the 2012 had). So...since my son had the financing set up,
I went down to look at it on this last Thursday. Tried it out,
brought it home, pulled off a lowering kit, loaded in my truck
and ran over to the HT LC rally at Kamiah.
Did a 150 miles Friday led by a local guy who knows every road,
trail, nook, and cranny in the area. Did a bunch of true single
track trails as well as roads up around the Canyon
Junction/Lowell area. Saturday, I led a group up 12 to Lochsa
for breakfast then up to Cayuse Junction and up over Toboggan
Ridge, Kelly Ck, then down 250 back to Pierce and Kamiah...250
miles. Quite a break in ride for a new-to-me bike first ride. I
think there were at least 5 690s at the rally.
Gotta start boosting my rear tire budget....

Now that just makes me feel all warm inside. Good stuff dude.
I'm feeling a little emotional about the greatness of this bike.
Especially since I have one. Where'd I put that hanky?
