Well it was not over all but it was win First place over 50 Expert on a Husky WR 250 .After what happened in Luceren last weeken this race was going to be watched by the BLM and some TV crews were also on hand to see what desert racing is all about.All went well and we Dist 37 received some good reports from both the BLM and TV crews As for my 250 i just got it back from Zip Ty Racing Ty worked with Peadro in Italy at the Zoke factory to get the suspention dialed in . Well first time out in the desert with it and i get a win .I have not won in a while on the 125 and now with the 250 all dialed in i though lets try something different So for now a 150 is on hold because this 250 is just so fast and now handles well also.Stock gearing pulls the sand washes with no problem and top speed is fast enought .
Wow!!! The WR 250! My favorite bike right beside the CR250 and TXC250 and TC 250 .... Great job and you gotta post some pics of this over the top victory by a great rider and his WR250 Husky !!! First time in the desert? I guess you liked it there We need riders
I have been racing in the desert for about 35 years .As for the 250 i have been trying it off and on for a year now .I did a WORC race a gran prix,took it to Idaho and did a National plus the National in El Centro where it was a mud bath .I also did many miles out in the desert just riding but i could not make the bike work like my CR 125 UNTIL i took it to Zip Ty and said do the best you can ,you go ride it and afterwords if it does not work it is me not the bike .Well i think it works so well now that my trusty National # 1 plate holder 125 might get retired Only time and a few more races will tell the over all power of the 250 is something a 125 or 150 just does not have BUT the 250 does weigh a little more and takes a little more effor to ride
Nice! Many congrats Mind sharing a little more info about what ZT did to your WR? Anything besides suspension? I'm going to make a large effort to get my WR dialed in and am curious as to what others have done on similar bikes.
They just posted the results Not only did i win i was the first Husky to cross the finish line Come on guys you all have Huskys so why am i one of only a few guys who race a Husky in the desert . There are 2 more Nationals left in the season first weeken in Oct and the last weeken in Oct Hope to see more Husky
John I am still on my slow boat of TXC450 rebuild. My body is is fully recovered from the surgery, but all I have to ride at the moment is my TE610 (which is as good a bike as I had remembered) and my kids RM125. SanDHusky and I were thinking to do a couple of D37 enduros prior to the Tecate enduro for warm ups. But I told him your clubs H&H is as gnarley as it gets for rocks, climbs and descents. So we shall see, time, machine prep, physical and budget are all thrown in there. Remember props, I got my 2009 7th place AMA Nat Sen B H&H certificate. So I am always (well almost always)down for the XC challenge.
Must have Because i did as i was told and when the flag dropped ,half way thru the kick it started and i was off super serert and i will never tell how good it worked
