Badenhorst,... Great to see Husky up there in the first three ---- Awesome and a wet - wet Roof day 1 and some day 2. some of the stages were cancelled on Friday due to weather conditions and danger to riders maybe getting hurt --- Some pics --- And Ouch----
A few more pics .. Notice no wavy brake rotors and a black swing arm on the Husky ... Looks almost like a custom seat in the 2nd pic also .. No Husky in the last pic but it is about the coolest pic on the site ... great rock formations \ colors ... very desolate with 2 riders driving to the top ...That stone wall in the rear could easily be older than our country and even date back to Columbus's day or before ... Looks like 2 different Huskies in the pics but maybe just one with parts being swapped out daily ...
From the looks of the 1st picture is seems like a crank seal is gone or hopefully the silencer caught on fire.. Chow, Carl
lol ... I guess ... Here are 2 pics of Huskies on day 1 at the start apparently as the bikes are clean ... 2 riders taking slightly different lines in the same section on slightly different bikes ... One marked SK .. one marked AL ... -- Rubber boots seem to be popular with the locals ...
That smoke could be a burning clutch. The only national enduro I've been to had a 'difficult' section and there was much smoke trying to get through it.
The second Husky rider is Cross Country ace Simo Kirssi ... He finished 12th overall Team-mate Kirssi had made it into fifth place. Yet the frequent Cross Country winner suffered bad luck with only two kilometers to go to the final fuel stop. The Finn ran out of gas and had to wait forever until a fair competitor helped solve the misery. Kirssi eventually crossed the line in 12th place. "What can you do, that´s racing," he commented with a taste of bitterness.
