Spooning with your bike

So here is an interesting take on spooning...how to protect your heel from exhaust heat. It almost looks stock from 5 feet away, but if you look close, it's actually a giant spoon hose-clamped to the exhaust...innovative. Road side engineering, the good kind.

Speaking of spooning: I just bought a KTM950 Adventure. I almost wheeled it into my bedroom yesterday so I could spoon with it and look at it when I wake up in the morning...

I'm taking it to Mexico to get married to it. OK, kidding. I'm going to Copper Canyon for Christmas, and I have been trying on bikes to see which one is the one that will give me maximum riding pleasure. The Adventure seems to be purpose-built, just the right bike for touring and mild off-roading/riding on Mexican roads...

This turned out to be an all-girl trip, so the KTM will my ersatz boyfriend...

I'll make sure to write postcards and document the trip on this blog. Cheers!
