Post up pictures of your 4 stroke bikes!

Ford40 ... I hear ya.. it gets even worse at 57.. ;( Couple of weeks ago rode a 44 mile kinda "mini-enduro", almost all brand new vrigin tight single track...(and of course the de-rigueur NJ whooped out sections, just to make sure you're really BEAT) wacked a tree at abt the 35 mile mark. When I finally finished I couldn't turn my neck to the right, at all. Good thing I was with my friend (user: 'need2boat' on here) we trailed to the start together and I was driving, he was my "eyes" looking to the right!! LOL, I could not turn to look down the road at all...

And of course at the finish, most bikes are already packed away... peope have changed and they're all pumped, partying and smiling away... Me? I'm looking for oxygen, morphine and a stretcher! But, it was FUN!!!

I am 46 and just got back into riding after about 25 years. My above pictures came from my first real ride last week in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan...A week long ride with my brother and a couple of his friends. Funnest thing I have done in years but I definitely feel my age! Funny how as a kid never cared what I hit or rode in. Now I watch the ground like a hawk for everything and my arch enemy...Sand. Forgot how to ride in the sand must look pretty funny going down the trail looking like a snake! Well 4 days after the ride and I feel that Husky seat still every time I sit down !! Good thing pain is only temporary. I will end mine as you ended yours....But, it was FUN!!! Can't wait till our next long trip.

Hey w2ge that was a silent protest ride and I spent more time on the ground then you but I guess at 45 I'm the youg'in.

I'll post some pics once I get the bike back together. These husky's are great bikes but mines been: ride on weekend followed by fix on the weekdays. I've got the hot starter issue on the ropes so hopefully this trend will end.

Joe, that was the frustrating part for me... You're like the Energizer Bunny... You'd fall, get yourself and the bike in the worst position, (caught up against a tree-backwards!) get your bike back up.. and speed off, and then repeat! Me, I essentially only wacked that tree and had to get my bike up 2 times and I thought I was gonna die!

Yep.. ride and wrench, ride and wrench.

Ok, thanks

Well i have to say something is wrong here either we dont have lives and to much time on our hands to sit down a write stuff on the Cafe Husky forum and talk about riding ,how much it hurts when we come off , and issues with our bikes but this site seems to be blokes over 40 on this site .
1 Are we the only ones riding bikes
2 The only ones who can talk about our rides
3 The grest times we have doing this.
4 And our great pictures that are added to this site
5 or is it because we have been riding on the week end and now spending the week recovering whilst the young blokes are doing more than ride bikes . You get the idea

6. We all have mindless jobs that hold us fast to computers. The kids only txt on smart phones.

Where did you get that stand?

Rob1965 Try E-BAY they have them.

Yep, got it off of FleaBay... I have since added 2 eyehooks to the front edge of the stand so that I can use tie-downs from the bars... keep them straight and extra added safety.

Would love to ride here ! Maybe someday, when we win the lottery , I can ride from New Mexico to San Francisco then onto Airdrie in Canada (named after where I come from in Scotland.....

One can dream !

Just getting home with my new '08 TE450



Lots of little things to do to it... Need to adjust the idle, it flames out ALL THE TIME.... Need a new gasket/o-ring for the aftermarket gas cap. Needs a new seat, that stock seat is one rock hard SOB!!!
