FE350 ride

with no camera it would have been just a helmet hit, I'm getting used to moving my head around to clear the cam from overhead stuff, that was a big branch that got caught up.

I still need to reload the viddys that did not finish uploading.

Back in the day, I remember the first time we took Mark Blackwell down to Tecate for his first trail ride there. The first time he tried to lean into a manzanita bush thru a turn it cleaned him off his bike, tore his jersey and left him with a pretty good gash. He was WAY more cautious after that!

fluffy I like that thats a good word. Manzanita is a hardwood and not fluffy at all, even though it just looks like a bushy bush, maybe not fluffy like a fern but they can be mistaken as fluffy bushes. They make good catch fencing for get offs though.
some of you may remember this foto I posted a while back.....inside cut into a corner, no crash, impaled by manzanita.


OK now back to the FE350 ride thread.

Cool vid. I really like when you laughed at your buddies misfortune!
One of my first rides ever was in the Piutes and I got a real lesson in manzanita respect that day. I about gave up on riding after that day!

I miss riding down south. Especially in February!


Thanks for the quick report. I'm not in the market for one, but its still nice to hear some positive reports on the new bikes.

we love john but that does not stop us from laughing when he drops it....he later fell ugly, not laughable, into this rock split almost vert drop and endoed....hes ok but his 2014 250XCF-W got some nice new bike gouges. He was a little pissed off from that one......I was right behind ....but had not yet turned on the cam, I only have post crash viddy of that one.

I will be loading the second parts of FE350 led ride sometime this weekend (it never finished loading)
Name drop time--the smooth guy in Thor gear leading on the FE350 is LR himself just in case no-one picked up on that. As seen in many of the new Husky intro fotos posted he is (thankfully) back as a legends rep for the Husky brand under the new Husky regime (smart $ move).

Your 310 sounds really good! Much throatier than my oem exhaust. The oem is obnoxiously loud.
What system are you using ?

sorry y'all this is the FE350 thread by virtue of the FE350 leading the ride and I keep loading viddy of me on my 310.
Also thread named by the fact that I did ride the 350 after my cam battery died and after all the trail riding.
Russ my 310 is very much more torque-y since the ZipTy Racing rebuild and head work, exhaust is a full FMF powerbomb with the S/A-dB cap installed.

Does it still rev and pull as high as the oem exhaust ?

I cant say with 100% certainty, but the thing is way more midrange throaty and has a really good power curve as its set up now. back to FE350!!
