When I found the KTM 690 SMC-R at a KTM Orange Days event, I realized that this was a Supermoto built for the street and I was hooked. Although I also test-rode the KTM 690 DUKE and ultimately ended up buying the DUKE as well.

We've racked up over 180,000 kilometers on their SUPER DUKEs, touring all over Europe, making a yearly effort to hit the road and cover some ground.

On hard terrain nothing can resist us. Learning enduro with the KTM Freeride E-XC

As I threw my leg over my first KTM back in 2005 I had no idea the life of adventure I’d just unlocked and the friends I’d meet. My personal orange highlight was riding my KTM up the finish ramp of the Dakar Rally in South America fulfilling a lifelong goal. I’m stoked I don’t need to wonder the direction my life would have gone if I hadn’t bought that orange bike that day.

For me, KTM is all about family and adventure. It’s a crew like no other, where you can let loose and be yourself. I love the thrill of the unknown, and the freedom to explore without limits.

My KTM 790 Duke has aggressive power and agile handling which makes it the ultimate weapon for riding in the Alps. More often than not, embarrassing sportbike riders in the princess.

Over the years I have purchased over 50 new KTMs…and it has been amazing riding all the different KTM’s from 1983 to 2023 and seeing the progression from each new platform. Being a small part of KTM’s journey over here has been so much fun.

What an incredible journey I've shared with my KTM. What started as a passion for riding has evolved into a deep love, and I can’t help but share a few reasons why this brand has captured my heart. Here's to many more rides, races, and memories on my KTM!
