    Hi folks!
    I have been lurking around this site for several weeks since it came to my attention that my old 400 Cross was up for sale. I bought the bike new in late '70 or early '71. Raced it for a few years, then in '73 I bought a 250WR, and sold the Cross to my buddy. He rode it a few times for a few years, then parked it in his toolshed in the late '70's or early '80's. It sat there for some 30 years until 2 weeks ago, when I BOUGHT IT BACK ! [IMG]

    I will post some photos shortly, don't have time today. Don't be surprised if it looks like it sat in a toolshed for 30 years.
    I look forward to starting the "race ready" restoration.
    You'll be hearing from me.

    Welcome Rosco!

    I have moved this over to the Vintage Left Kicker forum as opposed to the restoration forum. If your planning on a Rebuild/Restoration type thread, please read the intro stickies in that area and then post accordingly!

    Again welcome! looking forward to pictures of the Husky with 30 years of dust on it!!!
