Speedweek Husky.

84 500XC entered to run in: http://www.speedweeksa.com/
84 500TC/X as backup.

110 poss 120mph lets us know !

tour de France 1982 !
pilot = Faucher .
motorbike=430 WR 1982 !

Looked at the website. What a blast ! Is this the first one ? I'd do anything to run a 100mph plus on a vintage Husky and then wash the dust away with an ice cold Windhoek !

103,15mph that is.

Completely and utterly revved out, sprockets 17/48 on WR config. There was plenty pull left in motor, needs taller gearing, and in my opinion there is no way a stock aircooled 500 with WR ratio gearing will ever do any more.

Bike is stock and entered as such.

Wildebeest, you an expat??
Yep had some good Windhoek Lagers.
130km from this event we ran into the notorious Kalahari Lions. Believe me those are the most badass land predators on this planet.

Great run ! Not an expat but spent a year out that way 10 years ago from town to town and have been back several times. Love it and the lager, not that SAB crap though. I now have a new holiday destination lined up soon for a speedweek SA though. And f#ck those Lions close up, I heard one call about a mile away from my tent once and soiled myself proper and no sleep til daylight !!! I'd bring a cast iron box to sleep in next time with a team of 20 trained Honey Badgers armed with AKs !
