Yeah, if on-the-drive pics counted , am sure lots of us could do this one without even jumping on the bike ( well those of us who still have bikes could :D )

I parked behind this Macan Turbo on my little jaunt out on the red bike this afternoon, I think they're 4-ish secs to 60 so assume it passes?

If it does, then the next challenge will be your bike with a waterfall or weir in shot.

I know a fair few waterfalls around here,but they are down off the road and only accessible on foot,I'm not able to get the bike in shot.

The search goes on!

I live in the driest and flattest part of the country, waterfalls aren't exactly common locally, even weirs are few and far between.

If you're feeling XSR-y it would be an easy one for you - the pic isn't framed very well, but a pace or two back and the weir would be right in shot and is 10 miles or less from your front door ;)

That's a lovely looking KTM,I really like the lack of orange,the grey/black suits the shape.

Is that the one that lay down on you Tricky?

No, that's my old 790, that was tip-top , I did slip of it's ;ittle brother (a 390 Duke ) though, guess that's what you may have been thinking of

No,sorry,I just realised it was the new 890 which quit on you,not the 790. KTM numbers confuse the hell out of me!

Anyway,I like that 790,is it less fickle than the usual KTM fare?

I could do the sub 7 sec car, I think every car in my street will do it.

But Bob Hope of a waterfall :D
