Bailey School on a Budget

This bike had a lot of power. The only 250s that would pass me on a straightaway would be the 81 Yamahas. Many people did not like how KTMs handled, but I thought it turned quite well once I got used to it, and it was quite stable at higher speeds.

I think I'm in second early in this 250B race. The jearsy was from a shop in Minnesota. Check out all the yellow in the background.

The famous SME "Mound". This was quite a bit of air for how steep it was.
