I think the latest I heard was he was going to move production to India and re-focus on Husky's MX heritage.. the folks who bought BMW powered Stradas and Terras are all pretty nervous.. not sure that anyone has figured out if that 650 power plant was part of the deal. The "redhead" engines have been so positively reviewed it would be hard to imagine them going anywhere.

mrt and others.. I'm still rather interested in doing the Berkshire 2day big adventure since there are going to be a number of Roaming Rally riders there and although it's a bit spendy I'm sure the riding will be fun and I already signed up with AMA.

However... Green Falls camping would be fun too, plus Twisted Throttle's anniversary open house is this weekend as well. It's kind of a tossup for me.

I also have to fix my rear lights on the bigger bike or the fork seals on the smaller bike prior to next weekend and if only one jobs gets done that could be a deciding factor.

It's a hell of a good time. If I wasn't going away for the weekend, id be there for sure on the 990.

I'd be up for camping if some kind one of the next couple weekends though. Just sayin. Im not doing anything official, but I'm up for something good

Come see us! It is a good time. Here is a recap of last year's event. We added Trials Demonstrations this year.

If you register and then check in when you arrive you get free raffle tickets for a huge slew of prizes including a track day and a pair of Michelin tires (you choose the model of tire).

I was parked in back on pavement next to the building. Found a great buy in the scratch-n-dent tent; a set of 55w PIAA lights with harness at half price.

jgormley missed a pic of the best bike at the TT event

Honda PC800 (red is the best color for this scootah, um, I mean motorbike)

akarob · 05-19-2013, 05:00 PM

mrt10x · 05-19-2013, 05:04 PM

It will either fix the problem, or at the very least end the suspense. 07 650GS / 05 DRZ400S / 72 CB350 (that hasn't run since shortly after I bought it)
