One Dead KTM 690

After a great couple of days with Taco Greg doing the KTM R1 route, I decided to head home. I didn’t make it far out of Rossland BC before the bike started hesitating. It was with some reservation that I proceeded from town to town. By the time I got to Greenwood, the bike was really not running very well so I pulled into an excellent coffee shop for a break. Feeling brave I decided to venture forward to midway. The bike sputtered and coughed its way into town with the power and or fuel chopping every few seconds. It was with the side of relief that I made it to the gas station. I’m also particularly thankful that my wife was available to hop in the pick up truck and come pick me up.
