I am trying to get a Evo Husky to ride this event, but will probably ride a 78 PE250 if I cannot find something soon. Who else is going and what bike are you bringing?
Still working on getting a bike lined up. Just missed a fantastic '83 wr250, by one day, with a title....
Epic to say the least. All the vintage bikes as well as the whole flair and environment for all who can never make it to the big show. PE versus the little Husky 125 on a grass track special test......who comes out on top? Almost.... A short straight and taking the inside line.....the little 83 125.....who says the older Husky 125's were anemic must have a problem with their right wrist..sure you have to ring the guts out of it but thats where a 125 is happy Open clutch Surgey with Fred Hoess Fred went on to take the overall with Geoff Ballard in 2nd and Drew Smith in 3rd O/A for the weekend. What a hoot the expert moto was. 50 year old pros on 30+ year old bikes made for some great battles. Drew had destiny calling and rode a tried and true old friend of his past.....a PE and skunk striped helmet (way cool) I rode an 83 125 The sidecar class lives! The "monkey" gets a real workout on that rig!
just like a good bourbon.....Husky on the rocks! 83 500XC on the grass 125 XC on the Grass Fred Hoess in the woods yours truly Drew Smith leaned over and looking to the next turn...total focus Classic Fred Hoess...cranked over on a Husky and wearing his Signature Scott face mask at the 2013 ISDT RR Ten Fins of XC Fury cultivating some Massachusetts soil (note the grass all stuck to frame and swingarm!)
A picture is worth a thousand words........ Drews smile tells it all! One of the most fun times ever on a dirt bike. Have not had this much fun and smiles since the days of cutting 3 lawns a week to get money for gas and suzuki CCI or Spectro to ride the 75 all week during the summer as a young pup! Really brought back the true spirit of why we do this and days of yore and the passion and the outright fun. Tulsa in 2014. Run....dont walk to get a vintage scooter and get it done to be there in 2014 as the 20th anniversary of the 2nd Six days in USA.
Love those "skunk striped" helmets & Fred riding mine, then Drew's old 83 250XC Husky , we'll keep passing it around LOL Husky John
