There are obviously men of stature here on Café Husky. Now we know why their comments carry so much weight.
Is this why we chose the "Husky" brand name? Im "only" 6' and 220 lbs lol. I can still run 2 miles in about 16 minutes tho.
So at 6.0 and 225 and 62, I won my age class in a 5k 2 years ago in Bellingham, WA. I was 60, there was one other guy in my class that looked about 80, I walked on my degenerative arthritic knee the last 3/4 mile, but I WON (the funniest part was being passed by all the young mothers pushing strollers). Something to be said for gaming the system, which, to bring this back, is what S.P. is trying to do with the multi-brand approach. Like movie theatre screens in a given market area all owned by one company. Better to have more screens per ten thousand population than is the industry norm, to keep out the competition. Nice segue, if I do say so myself.
Yeh by Army standards its nothing special but 20 years ago I was running in the 12's. Gettin old in the Army is like aging in dog years.
Tinken we could swap suspension and it may be perfect, who makes youre springs, mine are cannon hill I believe. Oh one last thing youde have to ride an 04 husky dinosaur like me
one thought, are the Husqvarna brand now dead .... Because here allmoust all talk about that you should not buy the Husky because it is a thing of the past already. And not going to get parts, maybe something consumable parts.. Should i sell my Husky away???
The BRAND is alive and well with new models sitting on dealer's showroom floors and appearing at racetracks and trails everywhere. The future parts supply for the BMW/Italian bike models is still being worked out. Gas Gas just picked up rights to the earlier engines ..... parts are available, but the devil is in the details.
so i should get in future some parts as normal on my 2010 sm510r model and it is at same as MVagusta time/owner ship
I was in the 80-80-10 club throughout my Army career... Just a club name up I made up ... > 80 pushups, > 80 situps, and did the run somewhere in the 10s ...Never could get the 92 situps to MAX out the top numbers for the youngest guys ... I could do lots more than 92 situps, just not in 2 minutes ... Being a country boy from the great state of AR, I always thought these MIN limits for the PT standard for most age groups were BS, so I always tried to max-out on the scale... Wanted those promotion points also ... So many people in there shot for for MIN limits ... That was reason number 1 for me to make SSG ...I was tired of deadbeats (and yes-men) being in charge of the troops ... ESP guys in my MOS. Now, I can't run across the road hardly ... Biking riding keeps me fit to a pretty good degree I think bit I'm still approaching old dog status now ...You know, you've seen an old dog, they just lay around, sleeping and eating, having sex occasionally ... I've accepted this old age thing and try to make the best of it... -- And Husky bikes are racing in the FIM stuff in EU as we speak ... They'll be raced on the worlds biggest show next yr maybe ... The AMA series in America... I still want AS29 on the bike .. Maybe RD5 ... These guys contracts are ~2 yrs and even RV2 could ride a Husky ... KTM pays well I think... -- I was a peace time soldier and in no way referring to the young troops we have today in the multiple conflicts ... I bow to them and their sacrifices ... Both past and present and hope no future conflicts.
Someone might have been BSing me today, but I heard a Husky race team was gonna be established here in the Philippines ... I'll post a thread if I find out anything concrete ... 39B here (Automatic Test Equipment operator)... Better known as a 39 buffer as we used to buff a lot of wax floors! I did get to camp out with some 11 bang-bangs a few weeks on Bragg, PLDC training You guys had your stuff together and all us support guys expected you hard-a$$ to show us how it was done
Last year on a charity trail ride a good mate of mine & I had a go at this Merging of Husqvarna & Husaberg as I tried to overtake him & our bar got locked together It all ended ok, lots of bruising for Wojtek & a bent radiator for me, nothing more serious..... thankfully https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201621090226285&set=vb.1149497362&type=2&theater
