So you just bought yourself a nice new KTM motorcycle because you saw those amazing racers on motocross or enduro races, and you want to do the same. You've made your first good move, buying the king of off-road machines. But going on a motocross or enduro circuit is not easy if you don't know how. There are plenty of training courses of course, but there's one that should stand out for you.

The KTM Camps. KTM organizes in various places high-end training courses for beginners and for more advanced riders. Accommodated in nice hotels and with great food, KTM will train you for a day or two in all the essentials of riding your motorcycle off-road.

Split in different training; enduro basics, enduro pro, motocross beginners, motocross pro and even motocross for kids, your choice. There's even a package to train for the famous (and brutal) Erzberg Rodeo (though this one is limited to experienced riders who want to race in the race)...........

And this is the way it should be. France's biggest TV station, TV1, showed last week that the French cops are fed up with quotas and the whole drive towards increased revenue by cops. They are fed up with radars being used to generate money, moved to strategic locations, not for safety but from more money.

So several of them have started to strike back. In the video shown on TV, a camera crew follow a couple of cops going to radars and using garbage bags and duct tape, masking off the radars, rendering them useless.

They are brave cops, since if they get caught, not only will they lose their jobs, but risk 5 years in prison...........
