[QUOTE="Bob Brooks, post: 138825, member: 21253"] Neal, no offense to you in any way, but I've read a lot of your posts on DRN and judging from your writing, you're a guy who is very excitable on a motorcycle. It sounds like you routinely ride beyond your abilities and get pitched off. Is that the motorcycle's fault, or Neal's fault?? Your KTM 200 EXC is a fairly docile motorcycle. I'm not convinced that you need to trade it for an XR400 or some mild-mannered four-stroke trail bike. You can get pitched on your head just as easily on an XR as you can on your KTM. It's all contributed to your riding style and judgement. If you ride beyond your capabilities and experience level, you're going to crash no matter what color of motorcycle you're sitting on. I think you need to adjust your attitude and excitement level before looking to switch bikes, and it sounds like you're on the road to doing that from your thread. I would try sticking with the KTM for a while and just toning it down a tad. In many people's minds, you already own the ultimate trail machine. I hope I didn't offend you with this post, that was certainly not my intention. I just don't think your recent injuries and crashes have much to do with the motorcycle you're riding. I think they were caused by an overzealous right wrist and that can bite you on ANY motorcycle. [/QUOTE]
