Ha! I'm showing the throttle control signal to my student. in that pic! Gets tricky sometimes doing the hand signals when you're going at a good clip, but with the throttle control signal, we try and show our students when exactly in the corner we are rolling on the gas and how we are rolling on through the corner. It's pretty effective
Nice!!! How do you like the 2 stroke? Had you ridden in the dirt before?
I LOVE IT!!!! Yes I've ridden in the dirt before but mostly motocross tracks and I've done the Rich Oliver Mystery School as well as the Texas Tornado Boot Camp. Earlier this year, I took up trail riding locally on some incredible single track trails we have here in BC but I was riding my 2008 YZ 125 which was great for certain aspects of riding but it was much too tall for me, didn't climb hills well and was a pain in the ass to constantly have to kick start (especially since I always needed to find a rock or log to stand on while kicking it!) I test rode a 2021 Beta 200 which was amazing but out of my price league, then a KTM 150xcw which was good but I figured I needed a bit more. I then test rode the 250 xcw which was manageable but then a 200 came up and I snatched it. I'm IN LOVE with it, though I still fall over a ton (it's a height thing!) I'm only 5'4 so for Christmas my husband got me a cut down KTM seat which I haven't tried yet. Wow, that was a long reply to your question, lol. So yes, I LOVE MY BIKE!!!
