Yes - you need eyes in the back of your head to look out for the faster riders

Andy.

Just back from my road trip to California - where I picked up some good stuff and also went to Malcolm Smiths.

Good to see the book is finally out

I will post up some pics when I have caught up with webshop orders!!! Sorry for any delay if you ordered last week, but I insist on personally checking every order before it leaves the factory!!!

Auroux 2015

Andy,

Did Nigel Heath ride schoolboy MX in the 70's with the Portsmouth club ?

Are you bringing my (your) spares van to Farleigh to keep me topped up...?

No -a different Nigel Heath I think... Yes, we will be at Farleigh in Int'l Paddock 1 helping the Austrian and Danish teams and anyone else (Husky mounted) who needs assistance!

Here are a cou ple of pics from Malcolm Smiths place:

See you all at Farleigh Castle for the Vets MX Des Nations this weekend!

Andy

We had a great time at Farleigh Castle VMXDN this weekend. Well done to the organising team (Dave King and Co...) for doing a great job. We were there helping out all Husky mounted riders from around the world - but mainly to support the team from the Austrian Factory squad who were there for the first time. I will post some pictures when I get some free time at work!

Andy.

Thanks for helping me with lightening my wallet Andy...

I changed the carb jetting on the 500 (put the larger main jet in) for the last race and she was fine....think she was running out of juice by the time she had hauled my fat arse up that long up hill with that 310 Main jet...

Here are the guys! Second from the right is the head of the racing department from the Husqvarna factory!

Hi Andy
This Austrian guy looks like Kris Roseberger ?
Günther

what all did you guys ride do i see 3 4ts ? fine lookin bikes for sure

Yes, Kris Rosenberger was one of the riders and supplied most of their bikes. They were pretty special 510s and one CR500.

Andy.

what are those forks?

Andy, no overheating with 2 stroke radiators (small size) on a 410-4stroke ?

No, my 410 Enduro bike runs fine - but the radiator cores are high density and 42mm thick cores that all the GP bikes use! Especially made by GMX Radiators...

Andy.

Great !

Love this factory part ... Was this sold with all 4T husqvarna at the time ?

Ha !

Yes, when I ride a 4t I wear one like a backpack - having drunk the contents of the crate! The Swedes are a bit of a taller breed than us Southern Europeans... The average 'leggy' blonde Swedish girl would have no trouble!

Andy.
