    Lance is a super nice guy. Welcome to the Husky café! I knew someday you would make the change to Huskys!

    Nice bikes. Looking forward to more photos of your weekend warrior excursions. So who rides the 500 torque monster and who rides the 125 ringa ding, or do you guys mix it up by switching back and forth between bikes?

    It's the old guy on the 500. My son likes to rev the pee out of his bikes. Building an 83 250 XC for him to potentially find some middle ground

    Here's a few shots of the "race ready" 500 I bought in England (via pictures that were stolen from other websites) for the 2015 VXMDN Farleigh Castle. A rattle can paint job on almost everything, broken rims, the head was on backwards, and more. Shipped it back to the USA and started over.
