The Northeast Husky Gathering is coming at ya’ soon! This year’s event will be held 26 thru 28 August 2011. For those who are unaware of this annual event as it goes into its fifth year, it is a get-together of Husqvarna owners and riders. The address is 3122 Duanesburg Churches Rd, Delanson, N.Y. 12053. (Arrows will be up on event days to facilitate guiding the Husky faithful) There is ample level parking. There is an old school ribboned and bannered grass track MX Scrambles style track as well as a lengthy arrowed Enduro trail loop. You will meet good people to ride with and have an all-around good time. There's a huge raffle, with lots of stuff from event sponsors, including riding gear, bike 'bling' & accessories, and gift certificates. The Gathering is strictly for fun, not for profit. Proceeds from the event will help support several Team USA riders efforts at the 86th I.S.D.E in Finland. You need to bring at least one Husqvarna or an any make vintage bike. (All non- water cooled non disc are welcome…if in doubt about what is vintage…ask us…we are lenient!) (Other modern makes ridden by a friend or family members are OK, as long as a “Sponsor” with a Husky or vintage is in attendance.) There is a vintage bike parade lap, a lot of Free riding and some scheduled fun events (accell/brake test, grass track challenge, vintage bike show, oldest bike, furthest travelled, mystery lap time pool, and other events!) Due to us Husky guys being a little older, many bring their spouse and/or girlfriend. Registration fee per rider: -$50.00. Non riding guests are -$15.00. (no pre-registration this year but RSVP’s and any “Special requests/needs” will be welcomed and addressed.) There are also a few hotels nearby if you would like. As said, it is a fundraiser for some of our own who will represent the USA at the 6 days and it all goes to them after the minimal expenses for the event are paid. The fee also includes a 2 sided full color event T-shirt for all attendees! Primitive Camping is available and it means a nice level field......no hookups but also 2 porta potties and my house is literally across the street if anyone needs anything from it.........i.e. water, laundry, crashed in a mud hole and need a shower, and of course the big screen at night with bike videos and a refreshing beverage. This is not a dealer demo event. However, Husky has attended in the past and brought some next year model bikes that were prototypes for us to try. We always have at least 3 Husky Dealerships attend and they are top shelf! There also will probably be the current model year bike you are looking at with one of the attendees and we are a good crowd for "letting a bud take your bike for a rip." More details at: http://www.huskygathering.com/index.html Check out the various tabs on the site for more details. Thanks, Joe & Norm.
Joe is heading to Finland for the ISDE and will be away for 2 weeks, so I'll start beating the drum! So who's coming? Husky Rep Fred Hoess is bringing 1 or 2 bikes to demo and drool over. We've been discussing all sorts of cool things to do Time to start the roll call.....
Hanging here at the 6 days and watchong some of the best get ready. Gonna be tough but good. Reminds me of the little rhody enduro in RI. Sand and rocksM. Hope to bring back some EZ Pz swag for giveaways. Lots of otherr swag coming so make this a must attend year if ever there was onem Joe
Ruffus glad to see you make it again this year. Unfortunately,the only old thing I can bring is my wife. See ya soon Bob
ill be there again norm,although i dont currently own a husky,i still travel in the husky van,may drag mark b and shane so we have one husky in the van!!
Norm, I'll be there again with my family. Kara has alredy scared Deb (my wife) during this summer's Ridge event saying that Joe's woods course is tougher than last year in Cortland. Hopefully the grass track will be fun for her TT-125.
I so wish I could come this year, but alas, other plans interfere. Plus, I want to give someone else the chance to win all the raffle prizes! Have fun, everybody!
I won't be able to make the Gathering.... Jean had to have an unexpected surgery yesterday and may need to have another next week.
Norm, Sorry to hear you won't be at the gathering. We will miss you this year. My familys' thoughts and prayers go out to you and Jean. Bob & Pam.
