Re: 06FE450e First Big ride Report w/Photos Jedi Bike in Fli
Hi BB,
It's great to see that you are so enamoured with your Husaberg!! The bikes are totally awesome. Makes you realize how much the main stream dirt bike press is biased. Except for Cycle News, and Dirt Rider IMHO.
I see that you live in Folsom, I spent a lot of my time growing up in Placerville, just up the road from you. In fact, I spent a semester at El Dorado high when I was a junior in High School, and Markham Junior High School as well.
Years ago, in 83, my friend and I went on a three day organized ride with a guy named Dave Chase. The ride began in Forest Hill, home of the infamous Danny "MAGOO" Chandler and wound up through the hills to I can't remember where. Second day was riding on the Nevada side with the late Jesse Goldberg, and the third day started on the Tahoe side and we rode over the Rubicon trail to Georgetown. It was a great time, wish that someone was still putting on a ride like that. Do you know if they are??
I'm planning on coming up that way in the next couple of months to see my Aunt who lives in Diamond Springs, and was wondering if you would consider getting together for a day of riding in the area?
Congrats on your new 450, I'm glad that you like it so much.
P.S. Try wiping Mop & Glo floor wax on your Husaberg after washing. And I mean everywhere, under the fenders, the shock guard plastic, and frame rails. It will hide all the small scratches and keep it looking new. My friends in our club always comment how good my bike looks when I show up at the races. It also makes the bikes easier to clean up after riding. It also comes off with any typical bike wash, just remember not to shake the bottle before you use it or you'll get bubbles in it and it won't look good. After you've washed your bike, just squeeze it out on a cloth rag and wipe it down.
