    Well, lets see.... I holeshot and won EVERY moto (4) in my slow guy class last Saturday. :cheers: Kept the bike in 3rd gear and it tractored like a diesel and screamed like a proper 2-stroke...WOW WHAT A FLEXIBLE MOTOR!! :thumbsup: I thought I was riding the automatic! I'm hooked! I've already got the modern RM250 for sale!! Oh...and the Husky weighs 3lbs less than the RM too!

    I covered myself in fork oil during this landing...oops...


    I really want to thank everyone who's been helping me on this site. I started with a 390/430 frankenbike, and ended up buying a proper 82 430WR.....that Malcom Smith reportedly rode in the Mauna Kea 200 back in the day...or so I'm told (not by the seller). I now have a TON of parts for sale from the Frankenhusky....mostly 82 WR stuff except the 390 motor.

    You guys all ROCK! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
