All 2st Please post pictures of your 2 stroke bikes.

Decided to take my Husky to sea


..and treat her to a day at the beach

Thought I'd post some pics I found of my first Husqvarna, it was a 2003 WRE 125
It was completely standard until the new warranty ran out then all I did was to remove the rear tail light assembly, replace the massive spar arrestor with an FMF power core silencer and take out the restrictive baffles in the expansion chamber. Oh and I notice that I must have also swapped the yellow front guard for a black one at some point :-)


basically stock without the indicators....





you can't really see it here but there is a very small red LED stop light tucked right under the very rear tip of the mudguard which was clearly visible at night when it needed to be. I owned this when I lived in Cyprus and down there the rules & regulations are very loosely enforced so I got away with that and my unique number plate sticker setup.....



this is a pic from one of our many 3 day rides across the hills in Cyprus. This is on the dam wall and our campsite was on the other side of the wall. It would be around 30 degrees celcius when we got up in the morning so we'd start the day with a refreshing swim, then we'd hit the trails again and see where we ended up....

I ended up seizing this bike by either using cheap 2 stroke oil or running too lean a mixture (possibly both) on a motorway and without the presence of mind to simply pull the clutch in and coast to the side of the road, I ended up riding it out then coming off and sliding down the road on my butt, all the while trying to stop myself from sliding using my hands (not a great idea on reflection), all to the symphony of the screeching brakes of the cars behind me who I can only assume were trying to not run me over....

I don't ride on the road anymore......

Did love this little bike though, it was so light you could really throw it around.

Nice pics Rossik. Sorry about your seize & slide ride.
I think it's cool reading these stories of others riding in different countries.
How long have you have the your WRE? The "E" must designate road legal.
I have a '01 WR250, that could be due for a top end, at least a ring

I better clear a space in my Garage Thanks Rob, I cant wait to get her home....

Some photos of a local event for fun on a field:

in which part of the caribbean you are.

Ga

Glad its you Marcus, I was wondering if someone else was going to try and get it for free! Look after her and keep pics posted on here, I'll miss her. I'm just glad she's going to a good bloke. I may have found a WR360 for a new project, I'm blaming you for going to see my mate about a speedo!

hi mate, yeah I had the WRE for 3 years then decided to sell it and go for a MXer instead. But as soon as I sold the Husky I missed having it.....

In 2006 I found a small shop in Larnaca, Cyprus who had 2 brand new 2003 Husky enduros - mine and a 250. There was only 300 euros difference between them but as I was coming back from a 20 year gap from the last time I owned a dirt bike I chickened out and went for the 125. I didn't regret it at all but I have to say after getting back on the wagon so to speak, I probably doubted my abilities too much and the 250 would have been a better fit given that I'm 195cm and 105Kg.....
c'est la vie.....I still had a blast on it

your '01 250 is probably similar styling to my 125 yeah? you got any pics posted here?

I'm living in London now and there's not so many places to ride, not like the freedom of Cyprus at all. I'm rebuilding a 1985 500AE (automatic......check out my other posts if you get a chance) and I'm probably about 6 months I'd say from having it rideable but I am so itchin' to see what a single cylinder 500 2 stroke is like to ride.....especially being automatic

Fredd, I'm in the British Virgin Islands. I see you are in PR, you are a neighbour

You should!!

She seems so slim now with a stock tank back on. Ready for the race tomorrow!

It looks good! I received your tank. Added it to the mountain of parts waiting to get installed...

Still got to do some finishing touches but l couldn't resist taking my 2k WR250 away on a trip

that pipes a bit how ya goin mate!

LoL...you shoulda seen the original frame

Oh good. Hope you enjoy it.

just another day on the mountain...love the 'ol 300 for plonking over rocks and logs. then beans a plenty when it opens up. man what an engine. and the chain is on the correct side, too. never selling this bike!...I live down there on the left...right next to that tree. brown roof, white trim. see it?

My 11 wr300 was down for a water pump seal so I broke out "Ol Bessy". I forgot just how much fun this bike is. You know you're gettin old when you say to yourself , this bike is way too fast!!

the ol' air hammer!!!

Whats missing?
