Greetings from NW Montana; followed some of the threads from Beta specific forums to Cafe Husky and decided to join. After all, there's enough snow in my area to allow a retired guy a lot of time to browse the forums and at this point there is only so much activity to keep me going (although it is growing...). A little about myself, old, getting slower, was mainly a Yamaha 2 stroke guy the past 40+ years and vertically challenged. Purchased a 2014 Beta 300RR on Nov 1st 2013 & rec'd it 83 LONG days later. So far other than drool I've added Beta sharkfin, slave cylinder guard, Cycra handguards on shortened bars, a TM designs skid plate, map switch, and ordered a P3 pipe guard (although I was able to mount a 09 YZ250 gnarly pipe guard on it for the time being) doesn't make much difference since I can't ride for awhile as it's supposed to get to minus 10 degrees tonight. I won't be adding any more to it until I ride it and learn more about it; my last two YZ's had Rekluse clutch systems but I like to ride them for a while without - I find it helps me know the bike better before adding. The one thing I forgot in addition is a Tubliss system which I will install once break-in is done and I have the spokes bedded. I'll attempt to upload pics of the scoot, we will see if my attempt is successful. Later, Tom
A few more from the day I picked it up, we have even more snow now! To bad it is overcast, you can see Big Mountain Ski resort from my front yard.
Nice bike, Tom. I also come from a Yamaha background. Rode YZ 250s for 20 yrs before switching to Husky. If I was going to a 300 2-smoker, the Beta would also be my choice. Looking forward to hearing from you once the snow melts up there.
