To All of You Going To Moab,

You are being offered a chance to try something you never thought a Husaberg could do.

One of our newest members, 2Moto has offered to bring with them to Moab a few of their "Snowbikes". Two of them being FE650's.

To help Brett out with his decision on what to bring, I've offered to post this and ask for a show of interest in trying these bad boys out.

The test ride area would be in the La Sal Mountains, about 45 minutes from Moab.

Check out the pictures and decide for yourself.

Let us know if your interested.

Mike

Id like to try if you can promise me it is NOTHING at all like SKIING. The WORST day of my life was trying to ski. I will never try that again.

Now I have ridden my Berg in 6-12" of snow and at times it was both fun and hedoubletoothpicks I guess Im up as long as I can get in a truck to warm up after.

Skiing is worse than riding Bobzilla's horse heaven trail?

they often have more than 'snowy patches'. a couple years ago they had an avalanche that was deep enough to sweep people off a chairlift.

i might be interested in trying one o' them snowbikes if time allows.

Nope! lol. You are not known as "Trail of Tears Bob" for nothing! I am surprised Neil doesn't remind you of that whenever something disastrous happens. With all the equestrians out there, there has to be some "Horse Heaven" bumper stickers. I am going to find one and stick it on your bumper. :lol:

Before racing motorcyles, I spent many years as a ski racer. I am very interested in these snow bike kits for the reason that I left snow long behind for bikes, although I still have a love for the snow. If I were to try one, I'm sure I'd be buying one! Sign me up too bro!!

OK guys, it is nothing like skiing.

I know, I designed it. It is like the best woods day, but with no roots rocks dust or trails. In the powder, it is like the perfect waterskiing glassy day, with nothing but the hiss of the water (snow) and the roar of the motor.

Brett will give you the time of your lives. I will probably be in Revelstoke, BC with a crowd there. I will be missin' Moab. nothing quite like it.

kingklanman, I wouldn't have thought it was anything like skiing. Except for another way to ride snow! You said you designed it, how long ago? Is the concept taking off with any pre expectations?

Brett and I have been working with the original inventor for some time now. He is the head of the sales side, I am the head of R&D.

We have taken the original concept and redesigned it for improved performance, fit to the Husaberg and etc. Actually, this design I started for the Husaberg and 2Moto has now made it the baseline design for all the bikes.

I started working the Husaberg design last June. We met with Barret and Husaberg last July. We finished our testing in October in Canada. I'm confident that all of you who don't take the chance to ride will be wishing otherwise. It is an experience to be had...

Dipping bars into the powder is a lot like dipping an elbow into the glass

I have to clarify, I didn't do all the design myself. There are a few of us engineers here. I did the fork extension and suspension, The otheres did the track carriage, track and etc

Sounds like a LOT of time and effort. None the less Sweet! Also sounds like you put this together in less than a year?

Actually, we've been working on this for more than 10 yrs. We have about 17 man-years of effort intot he project. The Husaberg focus is the last year
