Hello everyone! I'm relatively new to Husabergs and this sight. This ride sounds like something I really want to do and I'm betting at least one of my buddies will want to come along too. I live in the icebox of the nation, International Falls, MN, so we are snowmobiling now (when we're not working), but it just isn't the same. I'm Jonesing big time for some two wheeled adventure. I picked up a used 06 FE650 that's fairly well appointed that I can't wait to get out and ride. I also have a KTM 950 Super Enduro and I'm hopin' to finagle an 09 FE570 sometime before fall (it's a bit of a long shot).
I haven't been through all of this thread, but I'm assuming there will be someone with local knowledge of trails, etc. along with maps and possibly some group rides as well as the option to explore on our own?
now i'll start politely with a warm welcome to UHE "simple man", i hope you enjoy your time here, learn lots, join in socially beyond the statutory 8 and 1/2 posts it takes to get your bike sorted but you'll forgive me if i tell you that i think you get tit-of-the-week-sirloin-steak for the nik you have used. in all the years i've been on a site; "simple man" is just about the biggest "shot-in-my-own-foot" i think i've seen! 8O 8O
add to that the fact that you don't know anyone but you just invited yourself and someone else we don't even know on FR3 and all in your first post! not a bad start!!!! but no here's more, you start "pissing" by telling us all how many bikes you have and how you are having a new one in the fall? it'll be for christmas i trust, at the foot of your bed and in a sock i suspect!
then you admit to not reading the thread which in UHE terms is "just getting going" which is sloppy but you then make a numpty statement like "i trust someone knows the trails" which is bordering on a crime against this site.
if you understand what a man's "stock" is you'll understand that yours is on the floor - no lower than that!!! i reckon it's so far down that you need to re-register again, PRETEND you have a totally different model and don't come from MN (wherever that is, i know there are at least 3 states that qualify but i think it's the one in the middle at the top) and don't have a friend plus don't have an orange bike as well.
so just suck in a deep breath, think on it, say to yourself, i phucked up today, but i get a new chance tomorrow to start all over.
i've written this using words i think you hopefully understand but apologies if you don't, we have several members here that can translate and bobzilla just about translates a full sentance now.
i'll just mention that well over half this site (i think more like 60-70%) are NOT from the USA. so have a nice day and rejoin with a new name that doesn't actually describe your mental capacity.
regards
Taffy
