Thanks all...yeah I have no idea why Google made me the video (and not everyone else!) but it is pretty :cool...better than I could ever make :laughing
The new bike is a Husky te610. My main issue is I haven't been able to get enough time to ride it of late...:mad But with the holidays over and some of my job crunch issues easing I am hoping for more riding real soon :thumbup
Did take it out yesterday for a few hrs of twisties up in the SC mtns...what a blast!!!...I can really see how SM bikes can get one into trouble
. Love the throttle response and lightness - wowza - I really can't wait to get her in the dirt, tho as I am doing on the street, I am taking it easy as I get to know the bike...definitely see the value of a 2nd set of wheels with either street or dual-sport tires on it, as I hate to be wearing up the miles on these knobbies on the street :|
Did have a fuel tank vent issue - was starving for fuel cutting out after ~20mins of riding and as soon as I loosened the cap, whoosh and then BRRRAPPP :teeth. As I had removed the tank to run some accessory wiring, I am gonna check the vent line asap - I also may have overfilled it w/gas and covered up the vent line, at least initially.
The other challenge is getting my leg over it when I have the tail bag on w/gear in it - man this is a tall bike (I'm 6 foot)
Did the little scooter push w/one foot on and then swing over...worked good...would never have tried that with my 550lb vstrom :teeth
:hail
Thanks you for sharing Tim!
2014 I hope to ride with you!
:ride
Ditto Gwynne! Maybe the Eastern Sierras where you and SFMCJohn did those awesome ride reports!! Loved the Saline Valley ride report btw :thumbup still wondering about the guy in the sportsmobile....
Cool Tim.
Too bad you didn't get a pic of that BEAR!! from the SI.
haha...great memory Aaaron :thumbup...yeah that woulda been pretty awesome to have captured him charging by me...tho it's still pretty clear in my mind, along with the momentary sense of fear :teeth
