Team Husky Out West????

[boisedave]

Just heard that David Kamo just signed with JCR Honda. His stint with Husky was rather short lived. What's going on -- anybody hear anything?

Thats racing.

I was just going to ask about DK in an open question here. He must have moved.
Facebook has him racing a local race on a Honda and he did the NORRA Mex 1000 with Chilly White on a 92 KTM250EXC. Like Kelly said thats racing. I hope that ZipTy keeps on the devel path and the 449/511 results in the dez/xc keep on getting better. There is only Salvini on the CTS in the WEC for enduro devel.

PS JCR will get Dave instant results, that is the truth. Their Honda CRFs are very well XC/H&H/Baja developed, those things took awhile(a couple of years) to get dialed in for fast long distance racing, with help from the HRC as well but now they are top notch in their venues. Time/effort/money=will get results....as long as the initial base engineering is sound.

I know DK a little bit and he's a good guy. Wish him well. I echo Robert's sentiments about ZipTy too -- it would be nice to see the 449/511 continue to mature.

Kelly's right though -- that's racing. In this economy, we're lucky to see any race teams out there.

Kamo is on JCR Honda

Joe is the GNCC FAR effort east enough??? yes, but not north enough? no one is stepping up for the NE enduro/XC scene? A dealer consortium team? Private sponsor team?

Sad to hear. But that's racing. On a. Brighter note, LR is on Husky again. Should be great PR for the brand out west. Mitch

What's LR riding?

 

[SanDHusky]

Not sure what bike(s) he got. I heard he was on a TXC 511 for the Norra 1000...Left him a text message earlier today to go ride some single track out at our local spot. Keep you posted, hopefully get some pics to post up.

Husky has no plans to race Baja so if he has that on his mind.....

David did leave the team. I heard about it last week a few days before the BITD in Parker Arizona. I still went to the Bluewater GP and soloed the race. I lead briefly off the start and then Pearson passed me and I rode in 2nd the rest of the way and had our best finish of the season. It was a good day for myself and the team.

I see you were using the practice bike, lulling them to sleep while the race bike is massaged to perfection. Good job. See you guys in Mammoth next month...assuming you'll be there.
