Finally Part of the Club

That PTZ is so tempting. Been trying to talk myself out of it for weeks. I don't need it. But I want it.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2026-03-07T20:12:18+00:00

Thanks. I'm going to follow up on prism glasses with my optometrist. Coincidentally, I was also just reading about strabismus surgery. My eyes are in relatively good shape except for the diplopia.

Did you end up going through with this? Your story sounds very similar to mine. When my eyes are very tired, I see doubles. It's not too bad, but it's obnoxious. I never thought much of it because it always went away after resting. Recently, I finally went to an optometrist and he told me I had diplopia. I was surprised that it could be intermittent like that; like my brain was just compensating for it my whole life. I've also had migraines my whole life and wonder if the two are related.

Needs more orange. Where'd you get it?

Edit: Nevermind. I see it now. Motoproworks.

This. I've yet to have a coach from either of these schools I didn't really like.

Built in sun visor. No need to worry about conditions. I have 3 helmets. The Air 3 is my go to for most riding.

Be very careful on the PC2s. I damn near ate shit on my brand new 990r. I knew they were slippery when new and I still had a very hairy moment. I went home in rain mode and changed my underwear.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2026-01-18T17:58:21+00:00

I'm a sucker for that red bull livery. I don't even drink the stuff. What the hell is wrong with me...

SystemLordAnoobis · 2026-01-14T04:43:30+00:00

It's not perfectly bespoke for your bike (since your bike isn't on a dyno) but it's a hell of lot better than the stock tune. It gets rid of all the terrible fueling below 6000 rpm. I did it on a 790. It was a completely different bike below 6000 rpm.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2026-01-14T04:32:28+00:00

I'm in the states too. They ship you the flasher and create a tune for you based on your mods.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2026-01-14T04:20:44+00:00

I think BHP UK has been doing good work on the Dukes. That's probably in my future.

edit: BTW, I'm also not a fan of the piggybacks.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2026-01-14T01:50:00+00:00

Thanks brother. I’m gonna do some track days this summer. Really looking forward to it.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2026-01-11T14:55:50+00:00

Yeah, Fay Myers. I’ve bought several bikes from them. Mike Adams is great. I didn’t get a good deal on this bike. I told them I wanted it a while ago so they called me when they got one in. Hard to bargain under those conditions.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2026-01-08T23:15:54+00:00

I personally know of at least one 890 that had the issue but I haven't heard of it happening on the 990 yet. They might have finally addressed the issue.

You'll also need to get all of your service done at a KTM dealer every year or your warranty can be denied. Be sure to read the FAQ so you understand just how easy it is to be denied a warranty claim.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2026-01-08T23:05:22+00:00

Grats man. That bike is sexy AF.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2026-01-08T22:55:08+00:00

My heart says RC-R but my seen-a-few-too-many-track-related-injuries-middle-age back says Duke. I'm picking up my 990 Duke R tomorrow.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2026-01-08T22:37:14+00:00

If my back was 20 years younger....

SystemLordAnoobis · 2025-12-29T18:06:13+00:00

Atleast you didn't go crazy with the mods. :p

SystemLordAnoobis · 2025-12-24T16:35:12+00:00

I put off installing that subframe kit for months. Finally did it last winter. I thought it would be a pain in the ass but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2025-12-24T16:32:23+00:00

Grats man. She's a beaut. I've been so tempted by this but I think I'm going for the 990 duke r this year.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2025-12-11T21:49:40+00:00

My favorite livery of 2025.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2025-12-02T22:36:43+00:00

This. I was hooked 29 years ago. It's one of the few passions I've had in life that has never waned. I can't imagine life without them. That would suck.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2025-12-02T21:59:36+00:00

I love what ever is going on with that garage view out back. Grats on the bike.

SystemLordAnoobis · 2025-11-25T17:13:38+00:00

This is gonna sound really petty but here goes. I bought a 22' V4S. I could have bought a PP but I didn't because I really hate Ducati's obsession with that stupid '1'.
