They were a BLAST, it's a wonder I lived to tell about those days....A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.... I used to race those things.... Husqvarna 250WR. But for just cruising fire roads and enjoying the scenery, it was a Honda 500 Thumper. Ah, the good old days (40-45 years back).
Good move, Bob....I no like that shit either, nor do I like the gov (or any others) knowing what I do.I do not even FB at all. Not a twit either I only post here and on one other vape related board.
Wife unit talked me into signing up for the grandchildren...
That was a mistake...
Mostly just noise and drama.
I suspended my account. Could not figure out how to delete it....
Evening Jimi....hope you had a good day with nice weather....!Evening my Old Phart Friends
They were a BLAST, it's a wonder I lived to tell about those days....

Had Yam and Kawi too....the Husq was the beast....!Interesting... Rich, Dale and Jimi all had 250 Husqvarnas.... down that long old lonesome road into the past... wonder what else we might eventually dig up.

Wrote an ad (in the form of an "I did this" story) for Kawasaki once and got $100 in Kawasaki riding gear. Eventually I even bought a green machine, but it was a street bike.Had Yam and Kawi too....the Husq was the beast....!
Nor anyone else....good move.Heck I am old enough that I do not tell myself my secrets.
Mine was a 1972, strong running little bike, I liked the 360 sportsman eight speed betterInteresting... Rich, Dale and Jimi all had 250 Husqvarnas.... down that long old lonesome road into the past... wonder what else we might eventually dig up.
I loved mine, had three of themThe Husq, just like their chainsaws, were a damn good reliable machine.....!
Ever have a Yamaha dirt bike, they were pretty good machines...and the Can Ams were decent.Wrote an ad (in the form of an "I did this" story) for Kawasaki once and got $100 in Kawasaki riding gear. Eventually I even bought a green machine, but it was a street bike.

Was riding with my brother years ago...he went right into a Jumping Cholla (cactus)....had to take him to the hospital to get the thorns out, their like a porcupine with curled barbs, they go in easy, but don't come out.
I had a shit load of bikes when I was young...my father had some (80+ acres) farmland we turned in a dirt course for bikes and old junk cars, way before we were old enough to legally drive, man was that a blast.......I loved mine, had three of them
Right on, Jimi...with some Ginger and Tumeric root, if you have any fresh....!Already on it my friend, drinking some herbal tea right now too.
My brother still has those Can Ams, I don't think they been started in 15 years.I liked my can am strong runners and dependable
My Husky was a combination, but pure racing machine. I wanted the suspension from the 250CR (close ratio tranny - built for motocross) but the actual transmission of the WR (wide ratio tranny - built for enduro racing). So I bought the 250CR and had the dealer install the WR transmission, so I could take it out in the desert for 100-mile races (put a larger gas tank on it too) that had nasty terrain worse than any motocross course (from sandy whoop-de-doos at start/finish, through canyons, up to snow, flying through volcanic rock). After 50 miles, you get to refuel once. Team Husky flagged me down. Seems wifey (at that time) parked herself with them and since I wore Team Husky colors, they did the entire refuel routine for me and sent me on my way. What a trip!Mine was a 1972, strong running little bike, I liked the 360 sportsman eight speed better
I miss that shit, now you have me thinking about buying another bike, that goes about 40 mph TOP end....My Husky was a combination, but pure racing machine.

Sounds like a blast Dale, makes me really wish I was young againI had a shit load of bikes when I was young...my father had some (80+ acres) farmland we turned in a dirt course for bikes and old junk cars, way before we were old enough to legally drive, man was that a blast.......
Demolition derby's with old cars, bike ramps from hell I built with the old man's dozers and track hoes....
Just dug up some horseradish, it's good to fight off colds and flu, really opens the sinuses when you grind it too.Right on, Jimi...with some Ginger and Tumeric root, if you have any fresh....!
They rebuild easily though, mine ran greatMy brother still has those Can Ams, I don't think they been started in 15 years.
Oh yeah, baby....that shit will cure just about anything...!Just dug up some horseradish, it's good to fight off colds and flu, really opens the sinuses when you grind it too.
They may start right up with a lil love, been sitting in his garage since the jumping Cholla fiasco.....They rebuild easily though, mine ran great

I would love to have another little dirt bike but I'd need a wheel chair shortly afterI miss that shit, now you have me thinking about buying another bike, that goes about 40 mph TOP end....
So, a scooter, eh?I miss that shit, now you have me thinking about buying another bike, that goes about 40 mph TOP end....
Most of my racing was in Orygun... come to think of it, the fire road scenic cruises were also in Orygun. If you rode off the pavement, your bike was required to have a govt-approved spark arrester. Does AZ not have something similar?The state of Arizona fucked up all the fun here, there are very few locations you can legally ride bikes now, they're worried about fires.
There isn't many places here either, liability reasonsThe state of Arizona fucked up all the fun here, there are very few locations you can legally ride bikes now, they're worried about fires.
Yep, but I'm not sure of all the particulars any longer....haven't kept up with the rules the last several years.So, a scooter, eh?
