KTM woes

^^^^^^^
I don't have sympathy for Stefan Pierer.

I still have one of the original Husqvarna bikes, made by the factory in Varese Italy, only has 5,000 miles on it immaculate.

He purchased the brand, shut down the factory, left everyone there unemployed and slapped Husqvarna badges on his KTM's. Left me with an excellent bike which is obsolete, can't buy any spare parts for it.

Karma comes around I guess.

Today a Husqvarna is 100% KTM with Husqvarna decals.

Some remnants of original Husky bikes, the same design remains now with SWM, owned by China, but operating out of Italy.

Not suprisingly, American and European markets are a drop in the bucket.
Interesting, their biggest market appears to be India. Link to the Suzuki site in India below. Not a whole lot of options, perhaps they are selling a bunch of scooters?

 
I need to find a place here in TX to ride but love the bike and would hate to see KTM fail.

I had a factory which I was responsible for in Paris Texas. Use to let folks know I am on my way to Paris and they thought it was cool, until I told them Paris Texas.

Anyway, there were more off the beaten path dirt roads and trails that I could think of over there.

Here in NC where I live, it is really hard to find anything unpaved. For that we escape to old Coal Mining land in WV, where dirt riding has become an industry of its own, run by old Coal Miners.
 
I believe our gallons are a bit smaller than yours. :D
Goes into the refrigerator, lasts about a week. How far do you go on a gallon, and don't give the answer in kilometers, LOL.
Ok.. your gallon is 4 litres in our money, so my one litre lasts me about 3 days… I’m only using it in tea and coffee, I use acidophilus Greek yoghurt for my brekky, cereal and berries.
It’s only me and my little dog in my household.
