    Congratulations, Tim! You're a genius!
    I also enjoyed watching Ian and Sue. I suggested they continue with some kind of "lifestyle " content to keep the channel going and for everyone to stay in touch with Bulgaria.
    Merry Christmas too!

    'There's a little yellow idol to the north of Kathmandu...' I remember an episode of ' It ain't half hot mum' where a guy was constantly attempting to give his rendition of the poem to the troops but was constantly thwarted for one reason or another. Bloomin' hilarious. Merry Xmas mate.

    Hi Dave, sorry I missed this year's quiz, I've not kept up with everyone the last couple of weeks, but still using my prizes from last year's win 👍thanks very much!
    This year's questions sounded a bit harder ,doubt I'd have got the answers with my brain being another year older eh? 😅😅
    On the KTM issue I agree they've got far too many models and as with a lot of manufacturers some of the models are too expensive.
    I enjoyed the sunny relaxing video with this episode though 🙌👍
    Have a Merry Christmas,

    Don't know which day of the week you were out and about on your Guzzi however it must have been the only sunny day we have had in what has been a very grey and wet December 😀 still the scenery was beautiful , good to hear you being positive about KTM' s future, it would be a huge loss for all bikers if they went under, personally I am sure it will bounce back and I hope it stays in European hands and doesn't end up as a Chinese subsidiary, on that note I wish you a Merry Christmas and a very happy new year.

    How many times have I begged you to mothball that Guzzi, Dave? I'm tired of getting all jazzed up to buy one every time I see one of these damned videos where you're riding it! I couldn't answer any of the quiz questions, by the way; I lack the cerebral strength, apparently, plus I'm a Yank. Great content, though; I really enjoyed it. Now I have to adjourn the TH-cam session to shop, once again, for a Moto Guzzi. This shinola is going to land me in hot water with the Mrs. one of these days. Thank you for the video!

    IMHO for KTM to survive and grow, lose the War of the Worlds headlights and quit painting everything bright orange and black. There are other colors available. Quite a few in fact. You may hate Harley Davidson motorcycles but no one does paintwork better. Just my two pence.
    P.S. great quiz and answers. Quite clever.

    For those who are still wondering, the process that KTM is going through was avoided by Polaris when they declared that the Victory brand was being shut down, arising out of a failed gearbox circlip.

    • @russparker71
      @russparker71 25 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Polaris elected to discontinue the Victory brand once they had Indian up and running. The Indian name plate had over a century of brand recognition as opposed to Victory which had only been in production for a bit over 20 years. It was purely a commercial decision by Polaris to discontinue the Victory name. Nothing to do with circlips.

    • @michaelreid2329
      @michaelreid2329 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It wasn't the circlips. They avoided a world-wide recall to rebuild every 107 cu in bike they had sold. That circlip failure presented a risk of an innmediate, life threatening gearbox seizure and engine lock up. Polaris presented a number of false narratives about market considerations but that was all BS. Polaris already had the updated motors for the Challenger and the Octane as well as the under development electric, all along side the Indian style brand to appeal to a different market segment. Sorry, whilst it was a commercial decision, it was about avoidance of a recall which would have probably bank rupted the company.

    • @russparker71
      @russparker71 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@michaelreid2329 Sorry Michael, but that makes no sense. Polaris still own the rights to Victory and still sell spare parts for them. How is stopping the manufacture of the bikes going to absolve them of responsibility for what you're saying is a serious design defect? I've owned a Victory since 2015 and I know of quite a few others with them, and not one of them has grenaded due to a bad circlip. But that's real-world experience and not internet rumour. We'll have to agree to disagree I guess mate.

    It's the parent company that's got the big problems ktm is just one of the brands , with one (good) years worth of unsold bikes and seemingly 70,000 engines too . Myself i can see bajaj taking the ktm brand over as they already have a large stake in the parent company. Any road happy xmas and a good riding new year too you all.

      @@trailingarm63The vulture capitalists are waiting for KTM to declare bankruptcy so they can pick it up for ten cents on the dollar without being liable for the liabilities. This will cause a domino effect amongst their suppliers and employees who will be shafted while top management will escape with their golden parachutes intact.

      china did it with Rover in the uk, lots of promises of jobs and all. then they gutted the factories, shipped all machinery to china to setup and promptly broke the agreements once they had all they wanted. if cf moto have control they will do the same before methodically closing all plants and reopening them in china.

    Wow, how did a small niche motorcycle manufacture end up 1.6 billion in debt, what happened to regulatory controls? Where did the money go whilst they were racking up this loss?
    How did Moto Morini, Benelli, Fantic & now likely MV Augusta end as just "badges" slapped on Chinese "anythings"? Why didn't Triumph, Ducati, BMW or Piaggio buy these names & use them for spin offs?
    It's all a mystery to me but l'd never buy anything to be purporting to be something it isn't.
