Once you buy a KTM, either new or pre-owned, you’re not just buying into a famous marque but you’re also joining its family. It’s a large family with membership scattered across the world. And the one thing that you have in common and unites you with other owners is the famous name on the tank, KTM.
That’s why we at Phillip McCallen Motorcycles have set up our own, unique KTM Riders. We want to hear from you about how you’re enjoying your machine and we want you to share with us and other KTM owners stories about your trips, your photographs, and action camera shots. It doesn’t matter whether you ride a 990 Adventure or a Duke 690, you’re still an owner.
As motorcyclists we have a bond which unites us with other motorcyclists and it’s irrelevant if they’re on the same make of machine. It’s a bike and that’s the bond and that’s why we acknowledge each other as we pass. It’s a brotherhood.
But the brotherhood becomes something really special when you’re riding a KTM machine. That’s why we’ve set up this new site to allow you tell every other KTM owner about your trips. It doesn’t matter if it’s only a Sunday run around the North Antrim Coast or to Fermanagh Lakeland, we want you to email us.
Longer trips, like a summer holiday spent touring in Europe – perhaps you stopped at the Nurburgring or even rode the famous 14 miles circuit – that’s of great interest to your fellow marque owners.
To support your stories, we don’t need a novel, just a few paragraphs will do, you decide how much you want to write. We also ask for your photographs and action camera shots. You don’t have to spend a fortune on these cameras, look at our Motrax site for bargains.
We would encourage you to carry a camera/action camera because other owners will be interested in your experiences. Sometimes riders are a little reluctant to take that first trip on the Continent, your story and pictures may just be what they need to get them started on a great adventure of their own.
Motorcycling is about so many things. It’s freedom, enjoying the technical twists and turns of a mountain pass in the Alps like the Stelvio in Italy. It can be something as simple as sitting beside your KTM in the garage after a run when you arrive back home and listening to it cool down. These are only a few of our thoughts. Please let us have yours by logging on to Riders Guide.
