Thanks for the warm weather I didn't know you had so much pull with Mother Nature! It's been in the high 40's and we even had a record high 58 today. You must own a tikki idol or something! Thanks again! I owe you one !!
--> Not a tikki idol but a Voodoo Doll...... The wife brought it last year from a business trip to Louisiana It was suppose to help our hockey team beat the Tampa Bay Lightning.... It worked...... If you look at the current NHL standing you'll see they are yet to recover....... Anyway Stace, that was my part of the deal, now if you don't mind I would LOVE to have some terrain'round here..........Please
I'll try my best!! What a gorgeous picture THAT is. Where is that? We have many lighthouses here! I like 'em a lot!!
Ooh...bad memories... When Eric was roadracing in Memphis, one of our pit crew members went down to New Orleans to hit up the voodoo shop. He bought a "Hex Your Competition" kit from Marie Laveau's House of VooDoo. It was my job to go around and gather bits from our competitors' pits...you know, bits of duct tape from their bikes, snipped zip-ties, balls of rubber from chewed slicks, etc...and put it all in the grisgris bag that the voodoo doll wore. We lit the candles and incense, put out the alligator claws and zip-tied the voodoo doll to the flag that we always flew above our pit. Well, needless to say, it was the worst race we had all season. Inexplicably, the rear shock blew towards the end of the straightaway and Eric went down hard. We missed out on a national championship by mere points that year. Throw out that race and we win it by a landslide. No more voodoo for me, thanks We didn't need it. By the way, the straightaway at the racetrack in Memphis is called Elvis Presley Boulevard.

Hey Dirtdame: Is that the eastern slope of the Laguna Mountains? I grew up near Chocolate Summit on Old Hwy 80 then Lakeside & Eucalyptus Hills. That sure looks like somewhere east of Sunrise Highway above S2..... Howard Snell
After being shipped to the wrong state it finially arrived: First outting was about 300 miles or so. The 610 is a much better dirt bike than my XR650L and no complaints on the road. The next day I took the Husky on a trail ride in the Sam Houston Nat. Forest NE of Houston. About 80 miles of off road. I fell down a few times. The Husky is sure a lot easer to pick up than my Honda most likly due to the lower center of gravity and the Husky has handles!!!. Sorry pic. not available of trail ride at this time.
Woodsy, I'm with Stace; your part of the story was funny... Imagine the guys at the pits looking at this cool little redhead asking for their duct bits, snipped-ties and slicks rubber balls...I mean that's just funny......judging from the Baja report Eric has lived threw it --> It was probably bad karma putting the hax on so many people
Oh, there was no "asking" involved. Subterfuge and stealth, perhaps, but no asking. When I couldn't get any material without arousing suspicion, I wrote their race number on a little scrap of paper and slipped it into the grisgris bag. Perhaps that's where we went wrong... WoodsChick
This is just getting better!! Did you guys ever think- "You know,I think we're a little nutty doing this!":bonk: Seriously though, I think this is awesome to hear somebody actually did this.
First Outing 2009 After too much down time working on the bike, I finally got out last weekend. Here's the 610 with her new fairing, valves adjusted, and innards torqued, at the N end of the San Mateo Mountains, NM. Post on the Lynx install (http://www.cafehusky.com/forums/showpost.php?p=21820&postcount=27) and I hope to do a a ride report later this weekend. More details of the Lynx install available in one of my albums (http://www.cafehusky.com/forums/album.php?albumid=32) And a closeup of the Lynx. I love it! Howard Snell
It worked! I need a close-up of the bike, though. I want to know what's going on with that number plate/headlight thing. WoodsChick
+1 Yeah, this is not sufficient...... I would like to know what you did at the back to clean the dot crap....? It looks good from a far..........
