I've heard this before. There are some hard-headed old timers out here that are not buying it. Husky could use all the help they can get on making the bikes finishers. Not sure they are using it.
Saw Gary at the final endurocross.... to bad he 's not with us anymore.. He was doing pretty well. He and Corey both made the final...
Where could someone find out where you have to go to see Zipty Racing Riders team in action? Thanks Les TXC450s are great!
Call Zip Ty they will be happy to tell you where they are racing next. You might even get Ty on the phone.
You can bank on ZipTy team at RynoLand this weekeends D37 BIG 6 race, and hopefully or maybe at the Tecate Hare Scrambles.
Thanks I will see where that is. I am in Idaho so dont know about long trip on short notice. Thanks Les
http://www.nationalhareandhound.com/schedule.html 2010 schedule for your nearest races, ZipTy racing should be at every one of these
Nick Burson is racing the Tecate Hare Scrambles and the Big 6 Grand Prix this weekend at Rynoland. Watch for announcement on official 2010 Zip-Ty team in weeks to come.
There phone line is down for some reason, but they were quick to e-mail me back. I just ordered the Hyde skid plate but they are out of stock.
I would not normally say anything but was this the thread you intended to post in? Just in case you clicked on the wrong thread... feel free to ignore my input
Robertaccio Thanks for the list, The race in Murphy Id is one area that I ride in so that one will be easy! I will se about the rest. Thanks Les
thanks bobby. Your comments only display your lack of knowledge about the situation and the program. Rookstool broke his femur in his first ride on the Suzuki. Maybe you should throw them under the bus to. As I pointed out in a previous post sometimes things just don't work out. At the end of the day we experienced more dnfs from rider crashes and off track excursions than any other reason. Like I said I like both kevins and wish them the best. The same with Gary. By the way watch what happens in the next few weeks to the Kawasaki program. It isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.
thread side track/Hijack, Tecate Hare Scrambles after stalling at the start and getting off to a last place PRO line start Nick Burson worked his way up to 2nd by the end of the first lap of @24 miles. at the end of the race Nick podiumed in 3rd after Garrison passed him, Lanza was never headed and had checked out. Nick is top notch and Husky podiums again, this time in Mexico (again in Mexico, Meo's WEC win was in Mexico). The right rider the correct tool for the job, its an on going process that constantly shifts and changes.
Any professional sport has its athletes come and go at an alarming rate. thats the biz. Some times things don't fit, sometimes people don't fit, sometime bikes don't fit the rider (knight on the BMW 450). There are so many variables it ends in lots of turn over. it seems to me husky and the bikes have done very well for the effort put forth. Cubic dollars can fix anything. When Suzuki was racing DRZ's in the WROKS series those bikes must have been 30k each. The point is I don't see how you can "throw husky under the bus" when they finally are doing what we hoped they would, get a great team leader like Ty or Scott Summers in the past to make a smaller effort stab at it. Racers will always come and go for MANY reasons. To sit here and speculate and bash people for stuff we know nothing about is ridiculous. If you were not sitting in on the meetings your simply talking out our rear end. Thanks Husky / Scot for putting this great effort forth. I know it is very expensive and a gamble. Keep marching forward, we loyal customers support your efforts.
A new factory sounds great! And thanks to all for starting the process of putting Husky back in the front in usa...I can't wait for the day when a Husky kicks a JAP bike off the podium in any national usa race on national TV. You guys have the talent and hardware to do it and hope you get the $$ to grease the wheels and for all UR hard work. You're up against about 30+ years of JAP bikes being the only game in town also so add that log the fire also that needs to be burnt. Keep up the good and good luck TXC250 4life!
