    Well lets be honest....

    What sells bikes is TV time...How much TV time does Ty's team get...ummm zero

    Sad truth about racing NHAH and D37 is nobody beyond the western knows that Nick was kicking butt...not a sole....

    You race a GNCC you have a dang show on 30 times a week that you have a chance to see a Husky on...

    You can OA a NHAH and there is 200 people at the finish...all waiting on the their boyfriend in 150th to come in....

    Go to a GNCC and you have mud flees out there cheering guys on, helping out of mud ruts, hell you have 500 guys that raced earlier or the day before out there watching...
    water racer and robertaccio like this.

    its frickin lame.. so basiclly lets keep relying on "on any sunday" to keep selling the bikes for us is what it looks like their stance is on the majority of the race programs currently.

    more like they hope the loyal customers like us will promote the brand for free. It is a tough game right now. I agree with racemx904 above, the GNCC gets the most exposure and thats where they are concentrating what little effort they are doing on I guess.

    Money is tight... Surely if the Nhah wanted to they would be on racer tv... Not near as easy but doable.... Only 15 minutes of video in a episode... Then they could sell ads people would know they exist and see they do great... Hell the biggest part of the population is outside the reach of nhah while every Spode in the us knows mullins and borich.... You guys should be emailing Nhah complaining....

    I don't see any races on TV except SX and MX. Not available for me. So by the logic that TV sells, then I didn't buy the two Huskies I own.

    Not the for every person obviously... But 99% of people it matters... That's why 99% of the bikes sold are one of the big five... Some dude that rides a couple times a year at Perris doesn't know husky makes bikes still... Sad fact if it isn't in a rag, Mx,sx, or tv they don't know that nick burson won a usdr race....

    totally right there, and as far as gettin to see the huskies on tv i have my direct tv package maxed out so i can get 1 or 2 channels that shows occasional motocross racing (and not the best coverage either)...not everyone is willing to fork out that money especially nowdays trust me i ask the question why i do it everytime i pay the damn bill myself :banghead:

    Old Style Husaberg,
    It could be that they have an idea where their return on investment is. They sponsor the British Enduro Championships and are very involved with the 125cc market in Europe and England also. Big with the Juniors class im' told in WEC Enduro's CH Husky is big stuff, my read is that they feel Fred Andrews is the best exposure with the Enduro scene although little acorns to mighty Oaks grow. It is a shame that Nic wasn't takin better care of and i would like to know Zip-Ty's reason's for not going on with their involvement. We have quite a series here every summer so it will be interesting how many choose the Husky brand. Big Sky XC $10,000.00 prize loot; also a national H&H. It's going to be a good yr. for Husky, Nic would do very well in the NEPG series on a 250ccWR so maybe it will happen.
