Absolutely. I ride with lots of people and trade off a lot. All bikes are good. The setup makes more difference than the actual bike these days because lets face it, 90% can't use the bike at maximum performance anyway. I fell in love with the Berg FE390. Pick what excites you, massage it to perfection and ride ride ride.
I rode Passe Stelvio in '05 on a Eidelweiss Tour. Trip of a lifetime. It's just as much fun as looks, those pics are only half of the turns.....
Witnessed that mystery blender up at the Maine National a few years ago Joe. Come to my clubs NETRA HS May 4/5th and race a ski resort in southern NY. Awesome trail. I was in the Fun Mover with my buddies from NJ and NY at that silt run enduro in Maine. LOL. I bought a new Huskie for that race just to smoke my buddie. It worked. Stop by the Fun Mover and say hello. I'll be the guy with the lamp shade on my head telling lies.
Yeah, same here. I'm always amazed at how brand loyal people can get just because they bought a product. Nearly every motorcycle company has at least one or two models I would like to own. The only time I am brand loyal is when they are sending ME a check every month, not when I give them a check.
Part 2 of the SP interview with Cycle News. This one discusses Husqvarna. http://cyclenews.uberflip.com/i/122010/60
The Husky part definitely seems to be recycled info and funny he doesn't know that Electrolux hasn't owned Husqvarna AB since 2006....
Somebody owns the Husky name... If they don't then those high priced lawyers & accounts were a waste of some serious Euro
Electrolux owned Husqvarna from 1978 to 2006, when Husqvarna left as it's own company again. Electrolux no longer owns Husqvarna name, Husqvarna Group does. I guess SP doesn't really know, who his legal team is dealing with on the rights to use Husqvarna name. It's like assuming... Ford still owns Volvo and they don't.
Still gagging over his view of "outdated off road line and non existent mx line" He is either ignorant to the 250-310 x-lite, wr/cr125 range, or he choses to ignore it.
I asked our rep..we are a Husqvarna lawn and chain saw dealer, and he told me that Electrolux spun off Husqvarna but still owns the majority of their stock. They are both listed on the stock exchange but Electrolux currently owns most of the stock. So they actually still own the name and brand. In the US both are now HQ'ed in Charlotte but run as separate companies. Electrolux wanted out of the day to day decision making of lawn and garden and is concentrating on the white goods business. BTW Husqvarna Outdoor Power has flourished under the new arraignment. They now have 34% of the total US lawn and garden business.
