    I was wondering if any of the Cafe Husky members would be interested in joining me for a couple of days riding this fall/winter in the local Sothern California desert. Nothing officially connected to Husqvarna Motorcycles North America more of an opportunity to meet and ride with as many other Cafe Husky riders as possible. I don't have any dates set yet but would like to do it when it cools down this fall/winter. If anyone is interested let me know and we can start talking about dates and locations.

    Regards,

    I'd love to go! I need to find a TE, though, as I don't think my SM610 is going to cut it out there...even if it does have knobbies on it :busted:

    Scott,

    If you can make it more towards winter I would like to join you. I should have my 2010 TXC 250 by then and would be legal in Cali vs now with my 2 strokes. Golf course work is pretty much on hold by late November here in Montana and I can take advantage of the good part of my job: winters off.

    I would also like to pick your brain on how to get a Husqvarna dealer started in Montana. I don't need to be it, I just want to get someone to take on the marque.

    I'll jump in and say that I'm going (depending on the dates of course).
    There are quite a few newer and some not so new members that I'd like to meet/see again.:cheers:

    Very cool of you to do a ride with the CH crew. Im usually up for any ride that supports the Husky community. Just depends on the dates and work--but pencil me in for sure. :)

    Mojave Trail with a night in Laughin? Salinas hot springs? Ive got a 100 mile roll chart around Dumont Dunes....Husky Rally?

    Hey Walt there was one outside of Missoula a couple of years ago... I don't know why they went out of business though...

    Kevin,

    It was in Lincoln, which is about 90 min northeast of Missoula and in the middle of nowhere. I am sure that had a lot to do with them going out of business.

    I think that is a wonderful idea. :thumbsup:

    Keep in mind that Cafe Husky has a wide variety of skill levels though, might be best to just assume that having 2 groups because of that. I would be in the slow group - I do ok in the mountains but am incredibly slow in the sand. While I'm healthy at this time I simply cannot afford to get hurt again.


    I've still got a couple of 'real' tires from Michael that he gave me. We can take the trials tires off my bike, put those on, and you could ride my bike. Then I could take yours in the slow group (assuming there are enough riders for 2 groups).

    :cheers:

    An opportunity to ride with the great Scot Harden (a contribution factor that conviced me to swap from KTM to Husky this year I might add, good enough for Scott, it's good enough for me!) and the guys from Cafe Husky, no brainer, sign me up! I'm with Droolsport, can I bring a few friends I converted over to KTM that I'm stuggling to convert over to Husky?! Man... I spendt a lot of years getting them on Orange... Hope it doesn't take as long to get them to go Red/Black! Great idea... My vote is Winter, but I'll go with the program.
