1st Post... an introduction and question re: riding in Georgia G'day My name is Cameron, I've been riding dirtbikes since I was 13 (Im 48 at the end of the month) and lost count of how many bikes I've owned (30+). Current bike is a 2006 TE250 with less than 500 miles. Yeah I know, I need to ride more and as I wont be anywhere near the surf in Atlanta it will give me more time to get out and ride. Which brings me to my question: I live in Sydney, Australia, however I will be relocating to Atlanta in June this year, probably for a 2 year stint and Im wondering if I should sell my immaculate, super low miles, one owner 2006 TE250 here in Aus (Id probably only achieve US$4k for the sale) and buy a new 2010 TE250 in Georgia OR Could I bring it over with me and ride it whilst Im in the US? What sort of registration/licencing requirements apply to riding offroad in Georgia? Whats the price on a new 2010 TE250? Any inputs appreciated Cameron
Welcome Cameron If I had the questions you have, I'd start up another thread in this (General) forum, not everyone reads this thread. Welcome!
been riding dirt and road bikes since i was 17 . (46-now.) have sold a few bikes but for the last 10 yars i have been keeping my bikes and adding those that i want and can get hold of . got my first husky a few weeks ago . 08 te510 . very nice . jacked up the suspension , cleaned the linkages , changed the plug and oil (and screens ) and have been riding it weekends . but im keeping my kdx200 . other dirt /off roaders are , cr125 07(last of the two strokes) bmw f650 strada , bmw r80 g / s , and pw 50 for my granddaughter (she is 1- but you must be prepared.)also have a xr 200 and a 'bastard bike ' , xr200 frame wheels , etc ,suzuki gs425 paralel twin motor . road bikes currently are yamaha chappy to get to work and back , honda mb100, aprilia rs250 (also last decent road two stroke) cbr400 , vfr400, ducati gtl500, moto morini 3 1/2 ,mv agusta f4s , bmw r1100s,norton featherbed frame with moto guzzi flat single getting fitted (cos i can.) also a 'gardening bike' kymco venox cruiser . 250 water cooled v twin - faster than most harleys and looks great . took all the branding off it and keep it clean , it keeps them guessing. wife calls it a gardening bike as she can sit on the back and look at gardens as we ride . normally she has to hold on tight on the back , so she enjoys it .
My name is Mike - 07 TE 610. Great bike but seems more cramped than my ex - KTM's. Hope the peg relocator's from Husky 666 help.
Hi everyone, just got a basket case Husky 610 I think 95 or 96, blown engine of course. Had a 2004 SM before. I thought I'd join this forum to get an education on all things Husky.
Hi, I've been floating around these parts for several months now and finally decided that I better introduce myself. I picked up a great low mileage 04 SM450R last fall after riding season was pretty much over in this neck of the woods (SE Iowa). Since then I have replaced the terrible bicycle speedo with a Trailtech Vapor (very easy install) and a decent turn signal switch. I still plan on making a set of sliders for it and redoing the seat to make it a little more comfortable for some extended rides. This site has been a great resource for me and I look forward to getting to know everyone here better.
Hello - I live in upstate South Carolina - race local Hare Scrambles and GNCC with my sons 14 and 11. Currently ride Suzuki and Honda - looking for more woods worthy bikes Husky (great dealer the area) and/or KTM. Great site!
Pulse racing products sponsor uk husky mx team Its great to see Husqvarna making a big step back into British motocross in 2010. Three Husky teams will be gracing the British paddock and one of them being the new look Twisted 7 squad, now officially known as “Pulse Racing / Golf and bet.com Husqvarna.” And better still Jeff Perrett has brought in a brand new outside the industry sponsor in Golf and bet.com – good work. It’s a major change for the Twisted 7 mx team for 2010 as the team is pleased to announce they will be an officially supported UK Husqvarna team next year, with not just one new title sponsor but two! The team’s new official name is Pulse Racing / Golf and bet.com Husqvarna. Long standing Twisted 7 rider Bryan Mackenzie returns after his sabbatical from the team after he took an opportunity given to him by CAS Honda to follow a lifetime ambition to race GP’s. And now with “a few things ticked off the list” as he puts it, a confident Mackenzie is looking forward to the new challenge as he steps down to the MX2 class on the new Husqvarna 250TC. He will be joined by four other team members for 2010 on the new look team. 15 year old Mathew Fleming joins up as a hot prospect and certainly one for the future. Greg Fisher will stay on board competing alongside Bryan and Mathew in the MX2 class with Andreas Johansson making up the four man assault in that class. Fellow Swedish rider Jonas Algotsson will be the team’s only MX1 entrant in his first year in British motocross. The strong Anglo-Swedish connection continues in form of the title sponsorship of the team as Golf and Bet.com are a Swedish betting company who have recently opened offices in London and will be taking bets on UK and World motocross. They have teamed up with Pulse Racing and Twisted 7 to put a great team package together, something Pulse Racing’s Jim Peters and Justin Green are really pleased to be part of. “We’ve been supporting Twisted 7 from their outset back in 2005 and we can see the effort they’ve put in on a very small budget but they have always delivered the goods when it comes to professionalism. Their image is great, they work hard and they have built a solid foundation and stayed around in the scene where others have been and gone. They now want to build on that and progress and so do we as a brand and we see this a great opportunity for us both” believes Jim. The Pulse Racing / Golf and Bet.com Husqvarna team will be competing in the Red Bull Pro Nationals and Maxxis British championship as they focus on the strong domestic scene, something Husqvarna importer Mike Carter of Husky Sport UK is delighted about. “This is a positive step forward for Husqvarna and we’d also like to think it is for the Twisted 7 team. The team have shown they have the potential to grow into a major force in the British scene and they have put together a solid team with some good support from some great brands. We’re in a strong position to grow together and put a package in place that will hopefully see us in the running for championships in the near future. This is a new era for Husqvarna and we’re pleased to have a team on board that mirror our ambition going forward” reckons Mike. Twisted 7 owner and team manager Jeff Perrett is also buzzing with anticipation. “I’m just very proud of where we are at. Running a race team is tough, especially when it hasn’t been a full time job for any of us and a recession has bitten like it has, but we have weathered the storm and built a solid foundation. I always said I’d give the team five years and see where we were at and make my decision then and I’m so pleased that we are in a position to really push on and become a major team in the paddock. Especially now we are working with Husqvarna who are really getting behind us and giving us the technical support that you need to be competitive at the high end. The lads were all really impressed with the bike after testing it and that made it a no brainer really. Obviously it’s great to have the guys at Pulse Racing invest into the team and also have a company like Golf and Bet.com get involved, it will be exciting for them both as it’s the first time either of them have been a title sponsor of a British mx team. We also have continued support from the likes of Thor, Asterisk and Ogio from Madison.co.uk. Animal clothing and Muc-Off look set to continue their long standing relationship and DVS skateshoes are even making a signature Twisted 7 shoe for 2010, which suits our image perfectly as I’d like to think we are a young, in touch and approachable team that races motocross for all the right reasons – because we absolutely love it. We have a new oil sponsor in Motul and things are coming together well. Next year we’ll be running more training schools too, as we did this year with Ryan Hughes and all of our sponsors will be involved with them and we will also be supporting youth riders like James Harrison for example. Although he’s not able to race a Husqvarna as they don’t make an 85cc yet we will support him in the big wheeled class as a satellite rider and look to draft him into the main team for 2011 on a Husqvarna. Obviously it’s great to have Brymac back on board after his little ‘holiday’ as we started the team together and have become strong friends, he has a confidence about him I haven’t seen before and we’re all 100% focused on the job in hand. It’s exciting and feels like a rebirth, now the goals that I set for this team seem more realistic and reachable. I’m positive we’ll be a major force in UK motocross and that’s where we want to be, going for championships. I’d like to thank all the sponsors, friends and family that have got us this far, here’s to another five years and more!”
Hello, we live in New Zealand, I'm 48 and love enduro's and Husky's. Still doing the NZ champs. have done 3 ISDE's days and a season in the UK. Now have 4 boys and a daughter riding so can't afford my dream bike which is the new 250. However we do have 8 Husky's in the shed; my 08 wr250 (with the new 2010 plastics which make me feel like I have a new bike) 2 2010 cr125's, an 09 cr125, 3 08 cr125's (which we need to sell!!) and my old '98 360. Was searching the net for info on how to make the marzocchi's on the 09 feel as plush as the kayaba's which I guess is possible and found cafe Husky!!(my wife is giving me a hard time about all the computor time I'm suddenly using) Interesting that I don't seem to see any reference to the problems we had in NZ with the 09's re cracking frames and pipes? maybe your ones were sorted? have a look at our video on you tube "the mean as boys camps" cheers Mike
