    I just picked this up last week. This will take some work but for the most part it is all there. I used to ride/race these back when they were new and this is my first restoration project. Any advice and information will be greatly appreciated. Wish me luck. PICT1156.JPG PICT1158.JPG

    Good luck, take your time and don't get in a rush.
    Get a hold of Steve at www.huskydoggg.com he's in Canada to. Great guy to deal with, very knowledgable and has lots of new and used parts.
    Be glad to help any way I can.

    Thanks KLOC and Ron. I appreciate the encouragement. Ron how are things in Azusa? I grew up in Monrovia and moved up here 20 years ago. My dad was actually born in Azusa and lived on one of the old orange ranches that were down below foothill. I do miss the riding out in the desert...here it is mostly woods riding. Thanks again for the encouragement.

    No more orange groves, all houses and shopping centers now.
    I got to ride in the woods a little back in 2008 at the ISDT-Reunion ride. It was a blast. When I got back to the desert, it was kind of boring.
