    Pretty cool how we are such a "Close Knit Family"

    And can share our knowledge and stories with one another.

    Walt sounds like a very unique person who has both to offer.:thumbsup:

    Just don't mention Chad Reed to him...:lol::lol:

    Inside joke!

    Kevin,

    Thanks, it was great to sit around and shoot the breeze. OBTW, Kevin's 04 125 is brand new. If I had to guess, I would say it has less than 2 hours on it. What a great deal. The boot rash is very minimal and something I would get in an hour of riding tight twisties.

    I look forward to hearing how the break in goes for both you and the bike. :cheers:

    Also the Husky community is a great place to be. Good people and great bikes.

    Walt

    Kevin,

    You're absolutely right! Haven't met Walt yet however, have met many folks in this Husky world and haven't regretted a personal introduction yet. I haven't had many civilian friends in my career until discovering this community, pretty awesome bunch of peeps :cheers:

    I got to stop into Tasky's today and met Jeff and his wife for the first time. Great people and what a nice shop with so many goodies. I just don't think you meet anyone in our little corner of the dirt/ds/sm world that isn't willing to help you at the drop of a hat. :cheers:

    That's why my wife always wants to go with me to Tasky's! (1.5 hr drive) Jeff and Jamie are just plain cool.

    Hope to meet you too someday, Walt :thumbsup:

    Ioneater,

    Thanks, Unfortunately I am headed back towards Montana tomorrow. :thumbsdown: To little time for the trip, Hamilton to Boise to Bellingham to Bonners Ferry to Hamilton in 4 days. :banghead:

    I hope to make the trip over this year for the demo days and a chance to meet more of the NW family.

    I'm gonna throw another vote for wallybean, he helped me sort out my wr360 carb issues, and hooked me up with the parts to do it. Deifinately some good people on two wheels.

    Thanks,

    I had my 360 out yesterday getting it prepped for riding and I had almost forgotten what that torque was all about. YeeHaw :lol: After spending most of my time on my 144 since last year I had forgotten what it was like to have to be very judicious with the throttle. :eek:

    Yeah, Walt is a stand-up guy for sure! And I know what you mean about that torque. It's beautiful on the 360's I tell ya!!! I just love mine. "It's all in the jetting on these tractors"
