    You had to pre-register, but I'd say turn up, can't see them booking out the whole joint....
    They have a water truck there & sprinkler for the MX track.

    QMP is open as usual.
    Sherco have a short loop marked out in an unused section for the demo. They've got many punters and limited bikes so it'll be hard to get a ride if not registered.

    From everything I've read Beta and Sherco are easy to get parts for

    Even with Beta the US and Canadian distributors share parts and it's been said that getting the parts from Sherco is quick. Beta seems more stable at the moment though...

    in their 110 years of existence, they have proven to be more stable than husky or harley-davidson. :)

    His answer probably would have been "With KTM being the ready to race bike we still need some faithful Husqvarna customers to help develop new parts that will eventually be used on the KTM line once the kinks have been noted by them and fixed by me."

    Were not really sure what frame geometry won those EWC Championships. CH Racing modified each rider's frame to their preferences and no two were the same. When Husky Engineers would ask CH Racing what changes they should make to production bikes to reflect race bikes, they would say they couldn't be sure....

    Part 2 of what I saw concerning the interview ...

    When it comes to land use, recreational trails programs – that was an issue we were just in D.C. discussing – certain product requirements like the lead law issue, where we’re all unified in our issue, I think the more we can get together, it’s just a stronger way to approach D.C.
    We’re not a big enough industry that we can throw billions of dollars [at an issue] like some of these financial and lobbying groups can, so we have to really show who we are.

    --

    Seems a little strange that a EU company guy says he wishes he has billions to throw at USA law makers to change our laws.... I'll just leave it at that.

    Not sure what he means by the words in bold either.

    --

    Forgot the 3rd point ... I'll have a re-read it and hope to discover the same point :(

    It means all the manufacturers our banding together to fight DC on issues that affect the motorcycle market. The part in bold means that they are fighting other groups that throw a ton of money around DC to make things to their way, the motorcycle manufacturers can't do this financially so they're going to show off everything manufacturers and consumers do. Didn't seem like a conspiracy theory to me, KTM is a pain in the ass for Husky enthusiasts but certainly aren't achieving fame through secrecy like free masons lol

    :they need to appoint a new president of Husqvarna that does not report to Jon-Erik. That president needs to have an understanding about the history of Husqvarna and form their own opinions on what the company needs, not someone who is going to suck-ass up to the Jon-Erik/FMF clique.

    Ok, ok I'll do it!
