Very excited to be picking up a 2009 Husky TE 310 on the 21st, so I thought I'd drop in and introduce myself. I'll probably be lurking around learning as much as I can.
Started riding as a kid at the age of 8 and have had several motorcycles throughout my life. The most recent set of exploits saw me riding a pair of 2006 Triumph Daytona 675s. One was a street bike and the other a dedicated track bike.
I sold the street bike a year ago and purchased a 2003 KTM 640 Adventure in preparation for a 30 day trip to Alaska that was supposed to happen last summer, but my brother, who was going to join me on his TE 610, was unable to make the trip. We did do the TWAT last summer, which was a lot of fun.
I elected to start a doctoral program in educational administration, so that trip to Alaska will have to wait until after I finish my dissertation in a couple of years. Given the time commitment of this program, and the fact that the majority of the tracks I like to ride - Barber Motorsports Park, Mid Ohio Sports Car Course, Autobahn Country Club, Grattan Raceway and Gingerman Raceway are all significant drives for me that require a major commitment of time, I opted to sell the track bike and it gets shipped to the new owner on Monday.
I took the big KTM to two AMA Dual Sport Series events last year. The Buffalo 500 at Stoney Lonesome Motorcycle Club near Columbus, Indiana and to the LBL 200. While the big KTM is a very capable bike, wrestling that big pig around in the woods in the technical stuff wears me out!
I'm looking forward to returning to those events this year on a lightweight weapon...
Ultimately, I just decided that I would have much more fun and have more opportunity to ride if I had a lightweight woods bike capable of getting me from trail to trail on the street when necessary, so I honed in on the TE 310.
Found a low mileage, well set up one in Michigan and will be picking it up the day after my birthday! WOOT!
