Dang...I could use a wife like that Congrats on the new bike and the retirement! Man, I wish I was a few years closer to retirement. There's just not enough time to do all the stuff I want to do... WoodsChick
Criminy! Who left the gates open?? I can't keep up with all the new Husky Faithful!! Welcome, Jack Brucker (cool avatar, BTW!) Brinker, Xcuvator, jkm and everyone WoodsChick
Howdy folks. Back in the day, I raced a bit on CZ's and Husky's. But I was seduced by the dark side (jap bikes) for many years. While trying, unsuccessfully, to get a license plate for my XR650r a friend said go look at the new Huskys, they come plated from the factory. Opened the phone book, nearest dealer is someplace called UpTite, Ok, whatever. Wandered in, what a pig stye. Then I saw the bikes. HOLY COW, these are cool. Met George. He tells me all about everything, lets me test ride around the parking lot. OH Baby!! Who do I have to kill to get one. Now only have to sell a couple of Hondas and I'll be a happy camper. But George? you might wanna think about a maid or something. wow...
Hi Everybody. I have been away from motorcycles for awhile, but this year I jumped back in. I bought an 08 Husqvarna SM 610 to make my short commute more memorable and to use as a weekend 'canyon fun' bike. One thing led to another, I resumed my interest in offroad bikes and motocross, and I am now restoring both a 1978 OR 250 and a 1980 CR 250. My wife thinks I'm crazy when I get all exicted about the latest rusty, old, greasy ('what the heck is that?') part I just got in the mail. Here's is a picture of me from a century ago. Gary
Welcome, desmo900 You got lucky running into George for your first modern-day Husky contact, as he is the Omnipotent One of All Things Husky We don't care how disheveled his shop is, as long as he continues to help us keep our Huskies pristine BTW, in regards to your username, might there be a Ducati in your past that you're not telling us about? WoodsChick
Uh-oh...that's how the madness usually starts Welcome to CafeHusky, LongRange Post up a photo of your SM610! WoodsChick (a fellow SM610 rider)
Hello All, I’m relatively new to the Husky world. I’ve had my 07 TE 450 for about a year and a half. I love the bike more every time I ride it. I have been riding since I was 10 but always had 2 smokes, so I might have a lot of newbie questions for a while I’ll apologize for that now! Thanks Coffee for a great place to ask them!!
There are no dumb questions. People are not born with intrinsic knowledge about motorcycles. Looks like WoodsChick is finally up to speed! Thanks for saying hello to everyone! Woo Woo!
Welcome aboard "RumRunner" I guess you're a bit of a celebrety without knowing it. Ask away there're a lot of knowagable people on here that are more than willing to share thier smarts with you. And one more thing....Never apologize for being new....
New member Hi all, I am from South Africa and have just purchased a TE610. I have been searching the net for a good Husky forum and came across this site, it looks like this is a nice community to be a part of. I am looking forward to hearing your views and opinions. Philip
`Bout time, eh? Welcome, RumRunner! "RumRunner" eh? Gee, you must be some kind of outlaw type cool guy WoodsChick
Introducing myself uhh... uhhhh... hmmm- I have a problem? with? not having a husky yet??? I am DRZnXJnWI on tt and EXCnXJnWI on ktm.t..., now HUSKYnXJnWI on cafeHusky. See the trend- yet I don't have my husky yet, tryen to sell and put myself into position to buy a new one. My first interest in Husky's mainly came with the new 310 cause I have a 2002 Ktmexc 250 with HT Racing's 351 kit. Love that bike- looking for something simular- it has a close ratio trany 6-speed and is a short stroke- so its simular to a husqy set up. Now kinda thinking 450, txc or te, I am very active member in the Wisconsin Dual Sport Riders Club, and ride a couple enduros with friends. So a plate is always a necesity- but the DRZ is a pig for racing, hence the ktm, so eventually the 450 TE, TXC may very well replace both. anyway- I posted an answer/ comment in the main forum and found out that since I have not posted here ever- I am being assessed as a possible spammer, that's cool that work is being done to screen out spammers, but now I regret recomending a brandname (rekluse): well its not porn but I like it.
Welcome, HUSKYnXJnWI ! (whew! I had to scroll down 3 times to make sure I spelled it right) No worries about recommending a Rekluse; They make a good product, and put on a hell of a BBQ, too! Good luck on getting your Husky WoodsChick
Greetings My name is Dave and I live in Boise, Idaho. I turn the big 40 soon and have decided I've been out of dirt bikes long enough. I ride my mountain bike plenty but sure wish I had a throttle to twist. Anyways, I grew up riding and racing in the 80's. Last new bike I had was an '86 250WR. Huskys are what I know. I grew up in Washington State [Yakima] and spent countless hours in the Little Naches/Taneum in my youth. I'm missing it and will get back into riding in 2008. Still trying to decide between the 2 stroke and the 4 strokes -- tough call. I'll try to get on a 450 here before long to see how they feel. Until I do so, I'm inclined to go 2-stroke and the new 300 is looking pretty good to me. Cheers. Dave
Welcome, boisedave! I love Idaho...the land of singletrack heaven! It will be my home someday If I lived in Boise, I'd probably get myself a nimble 2-stroke for all the killer singletrack that is available within a few hours' drive. Then, I'd get myself a nice 4-stroke for the winter desert riding just south of you. Glad I could help WoodsChick
Welcome boisedave You better get a move on, it’s December 11th you got 20 more days… BTW check the sponsors banners at the top; one of them is this; http://resmarket.com/husqvarna/
I've seen Craig's pictures from those trips.....great stuff. There's one photo in particular of you guys riding through a boulder field that looked really tough. He said it wasn't as bad as it looked in the picture but I'm not buying it. He also said the California trip was a blast.
Yeah, Craig and I went on a totally epic ride one day in Idaho that year. We did over 100 miles (and those were Idaho singletrack miles...they're much longer there than they are in other parts of the country) with a big group of folks, and we all managed to make it through. Did he tell you how much psi he had in his tires that day? And yeah, the CA trip was totally killer! I really want him to come back again and ride with me. We've got another GasGas 300 in the garage for him to ride. Remind him of that, will ya? Idaho rocks... Did Craig show you this picture? Craig in CA... WoodsChick
