Secret KTM handshake?

[Rodzilla]

Alright who's gonna teach me the secret KTM handshake? :) :) :)


Hope I'm not putting the cart before the horse because it's not actually sitting in my garage yet, but the check will be cut tomorrow and then we are set! Shipping from Tenn. to Colorado should'nt take more than a week or so I'd think, so should be a pumpkin rider by the first of Dec! (just in time for the snow)

I am purchasing Lawman's '01 400 E/XC. So expect to see a little more of this old lizard in your orange forum!!

Rod:confused:

"Plagiarizing."

I am stealing this from Shaw520, but do you know the secret four-stroke hand shake?

You sqeeze on every other stroke!:D

As for the pumpkin handshake, they haven't told me what it is, either.:debil:

It's not that simple; it's not enough to just OWN a KTM. You have to freely confess your allegiance to the almighty Pumpkin, while kneeling, your head bowed in reverent supplication. You must swear by your lungs and your liver to love no other motorcycle. Next, you repeat the secret chant, turn around three times, and say something in German. . . . Then you throw dog poop on a Yamaha rider's shoes.

Roddy:

There are very strict (not Strick) rules about giving out 'the' handshake! You cannot be given the exact instructions until you own the bike. What that means exactly is either Lawman has cash - in hand, or the check has cleared his bank. We (KTM handshake int'l) will be in close touch with Lawman. When one of the events listed above have been completed, you will receive 'the' handshake instructions by mail. Do not get anxious about receiving the instructions any sooner. Remember how it used to be on DRN and getting the Avatar? Do not make that mistake, or your instructions could be delayed.

Welcome to Club KTM!;)

I went to Oktoberfest last year and drank LOTS of German beer does that count?

Thought maybe that shoud be ROOST some dog poop on a Yamaha riders shoes! (Love a good Steve Martin reference)

I know just the blue bike rider who gets it first!!!:p :scream: :p

 

[Moteaux]

If you guy would've taught me the handshake before I sold my EXC I might not have bought the Yamaha. I feel so mistreated:think

 

[Patman]

DO NOT forget the bribe, er I mean "donation" to the DRN Forum Moderator:) $10.00 per/cc is small unmarked bills.:)

Oh and be sure to shake hands BEFORE throwing the dog poop OK? (kinda' explains BigLou's problem, well one of then at least)

See it's this kinda crap that makes everyone think these orange bikes are so expensive.

Patman the check is in the mail, just go sit out by the curb and wait for it. I'll send the mailman by with a Pokin' stick!

 

[Bill Hibbs]

I'll tell you this about the handshake.... It kind of tickles.. ;)

 

[JMD]

Sure, it's okay to tell that it tickles, but don't tell him where it tickles.

 

[RetSenior]

I hear it's similar to the handshake in San Francisco but I don't know that for a fact.

Orange Forever

Ridin' anything other than ORANGE is sorta like shaking hands with a guy with three fingers ! You can do it, but it just don't feel right

 

[desert_racer]

I too must admit that I floated over to the DARK "Blue" Side for a while but have come back to the light once again.

I gave into the temptation of the "Blue 4-Stroke monster". And I realized that greatly missed the "Pumpkin".

Fellow "Pumpkin" breatheren...
Please forgive me for straying as I sit before you kneeling, with my head bowed in reverent supplication and freely confess my allegiance to the almighty Pumpkin. I vow never to love or lust after another motorcycle.

Please find it in your great "Orange" hearts to forgive the sins of the weak...

It's not to late... You can still come back to the blue side!!! ;)

 

[GaryKTM200]

I'm going so fast on my KTM 200 that I don't have time to shake hands or anything else. And there is no film speed fast enough to take a picture. Was that the kind of picture you was talking about Dale? :)

Stormer94,

You know I did like the big blue 4 stroke but I think it was the 4 stroke part that I liked. I rode a 520 not too long ago and that's what I have my eyes on next.

It's lighter, starts easier (no voodoo techniques needed) and you can get it green stickered in CA starting with the 2002 models. That's a tough package to beat....

Aren't you forgetting something? Hmmmm? Dog poop? Yamaha rider's shoes? Let's move it, soldier.

secret KTM handshake

Stick one thumb in mouth and one thumb <a little to graphic>, then switch every five seconds. THATS the KTM handshake:p

KTM handshake

I learned the "albino" KTM handshake (pre '98). First reach for your wallet then shake hands with the parts guy, leaving him your wallet.:scream:
"How much will have to mortgage my house for to get that MOTOPLATT ingition?"
