    Just bought a '12 te 310 from Europort in Asheville. Looking forward to exploring fire roads and easier trails to get used to this bike. Anyone have any suggestions on places they have liked near Johnson City, and western NC ?

    The new Mountain City, TN ORV on nearby Doe Mtn officially opening this May sounds like it will be a great addition to the area........8600 acres......100 miles of trails.
    There's another thread on Getting Together forum keeping up with it's development.

    I'm in Rutherfordton, NC. I like to ride at Brown Mountain and Brushy Mountain. Both are good places, but I think Brushy is the best.

    Rutherfordton has such great older homes. There must be some history there.

    It's funny you say that. I love older homes myself. My wife and I have been steadily working on ours for the last 4 years.

    I'll have to see it some day.

    Is the 511 your first Husky? The 610 is mine and I love it.........even though I'm entertaining trying to find either a 450/510 or 449/511 as an addition. I'll see how trail riding the 610 goes this season

    Yeah, the 511 is my first Husky. I've mostly been a Honda guy when it came to off road bikes. I just got to the point where I really wanted a bike that was plated and the Euro manufacturers were the only ones building a serious bike. I saw the 449/511 platform and fell in love with the lines. I picked this one up used last fall and have been riding as much as the weather has allowed. So far I'm really enjoying the bike. It did take some getting used to and I had to get the setup right, but I think I've got it dialed in pretty well now. I use it mostly as a dirt bike. I think the 610 would be an awesome ride as well, but since I mainly ride in the woods I felt it might be a bit too big. It's probably a lot more street worthy though.

    I am about to pick up my first dual-sport. It will be the Strada. Thanks to Justin and his team at Eurosport in Asheville. I live in Brevard right on the edge of Pisgah Forest!

    Congrats! I've been staring down the Terra's there as well. Looks like a really cool bike. I may have to take a test ride.

    I'm in Greensboro and recently picked up a new TE511. Not really anywhere that I know of to ride in an hour or so radius but I'm up for traveling.

    That could easily be an expensive test ride. It was for me. :D

    Will do! I'm so excited I can't sit still! I wish customs would hurry up and let them ship.

    Plan on taking the 511 to Brushy Mountain park this Friday (6/21) weather permitting. If anyone wants to come, I'll be the guy on a Husky!
