    I was converted to a Husky4life attitude in Feb 2007,a romantic affair with my old 07 510te. I had numerous laughs,tears,and dripping wounds with that 07. These glorious few years have brought me to the conclusion that I feel happy on a Husky. I sold the 510 to a friend of mine last month:confused:,who hates his XR after watching the Husky and I floating around the trail while he was plowing thru every rock like a dozer tears up the landscape. My riding buddy is tickeled pink with the way the Husky handles and the snappy motor delivery for the tight trails we do.:thumbsup:

    Being without a Husky in the garage was like dragging your knuckeles thru sharded glass with lemon juice. There are other bikes in the garage but I just couldn't fathom not riding a Husky. I made a call to a dealer and picked up a leftover 09 450 te. I babied her easy for a couple of weeks on pavement and a little short dirt sections I have near the house.
    Yesterday was the first real offroad ride I had with her. I was able to ride lots of singletrack,some super steep hillclimbs,and creek crossings. I find that the new frame really turns easier without the freight train feel, the motor is fairly strong for a 450, and the boingy's will need a little more break-in but are really good out of the box. I am happy now.

    Congrats. I have the same bike. The handling is truly phenomenal, isn't it? The boingy's get better. At 1300 miles the rear is fantastic, front still seems to be improving.
