How do you like that Husky?
It’s amazing. Everything I would have wanted at 20, 30, 40, and maybe even 50, but much more than I want/need now. Crazy power. It’s easy to bump it up into a wheelie at 35 or 40 mph.
In 1979 I bought a Suzuki RM-400, a pipey beast with a short, explosive power band. The Husky makes the RM seem tame, but the power is linear and long…
I set the bike up to ride the Oregon outback, as a bunch of guys I work with do an annual three or four day cross-country camping trip every July. My GS is much more comfortable, and it carries weight much better, but it’s heavy for wrestling in deep sand.
I dropped a tooth on the Husky front sprocket, added extra fuel capacity, and upgraded the pegs, headlight, and seat. (The OEM seat was like sitting on a 2x6, only less comfortable.) For a younger guy with good offroad skills, it’s the perfect bike for the outback.
