2005 2006 Husky TC 250

[munch]

It really did feel pretty good, missed the power delivery of the SX though.....the Shiv forks were smoooooooooooooth, things were pretty soft for what I'm used to though,
I'm sure I'll stay orange after riding the xc, I'll have to do a back to back comparison of the XC and the SX when Baja gets his!! The motors between the to are very similar. I also need to wait and check out the 125 SX some time, Do you think I could ride the 125 in the woods???/

Do you think I could ride the 125 in the woods???/

Short answer, YES, but is a 200 any heavyer? If not then why get the 125 might as well have the 200 power with the 125 weight. The 200 did not feel that heavy, my opinion get the 200 XC. :aj:

 

[munch]

06 125 SX - 203lbs

06 200 XC - 220lbs

Not much difference, I really need to check one out :nod:

Ok go ahead get a husky :nener: :rotfl: :coocoo: ,
where's the closest dealer for you munch.
Do Huskies bumb start as good as a 200 sx??
When you lose parts along the trail I won't be able to pick them up and put them on my bike if you go Yellow :yikes: .

I dont know never actually started one with my bumb

 

[munch]

Excellent point :laugh: :laugh:

 

[djj]

Well Munch would have used anything to start his bike at that race.

 

[munch]

shouldn't you be out riding??? :)

 

[djj]

Yes I should be out riding, but my wife draged me away from my bikes again. I'm in New York city, I'll be back Tuesday and getting ready for friday at BR. :aj:

I'll be back Tuesday and getting ready for friday at BR.

What about Sunday at Geneseo ? ? ?
You can bring Kev along :yikes:

I'm trying to talk Munch into going thumper - he needs to quit working so hard on that small bore two stroker and sit back and relax on a big thumper :clue:

Weld it

 

[munch]

Not sure I'm ready for the "Lazy Boy Racing Team" yet :nener:

The new 125 sounds pretty sweet, but I've got to remember that I'm getting up there in age , probably shouldn't be riding a kids bike anymore, maybe a big plush "extra soft" EE seat,
G2R, big flywheel weight, naahh, I'll probably leave you guys to the big plush thumpers for one more bike. I might be a little :coocoo: but i like that totally spent feeling after crawling off of my small bore.


Look a smilie with Woodshellions new bike :ride: :ride: :laugh:

 

[djj]

For cryin out loud, riding a 4-stroke sounds like the next step to death guys. :ahhh: How about a 300 2-stroke, :coocoo: anyway Munch you keep talking about the 125, I think you have already talked yourself into it :rotfl: . The 200XC at FMC sure felt sweet :nod: . But don't forget the 400 exc there Munch :laugh:

I've seen you guys ride those 4 strokes !!! :nener: :laugh:

it will probably be either the 125 or the XC 200, I would like to test ride a 125 though, but the XC is damn close to what I ride today , just with a much better suspension, The XC would be an easy transition :cool:

 

[djj]

The 05 and 06 suspension is sooooo much better isn't it. Box stock it works great. A 125 huh, you still think your like Shane Watts there Munch :coocoo: :coocoo: :coocoo:

 

[munch]

A 125 huh, you still think your like Shane Watts there Munch :coocoo: :coocoo: :coocoo:

Everything except the accent and the riding ability! :)

 

[djj]

Now you've got the knee problems too. How's the knee there munch????

 

[munch]

My "SMudge kneee" has it's moments when it hurt like hell still, going to get it checked out hopefully soon. probably do the MRI thing, still pretty damn sore for not tearing anything.
How's yours doing??

My Smudge knee is getting better, only painful once in a while. I should be good in about 3 weeks, I didn't have any problems with it at the hare scramble in Ottawa sunday. The reason for a 14th place finish is that I haven't learned to stay home on friday and sat night before the race or at least not try and drink Miller dry. :think: :think:

 

[djj]

Are you going to get a new bike?? Or do you think you can ride in 3rd gear everywhere??

He is going to put a "autoclutch" in and he will never know the difference.........................

Bungle - break loose with some $$ and go new 200 XC.

I was talking to Layton and he said after riding his 200 XC-W
he thought a lot of people will regret going with the XC as the suspension on his "W" is plenty stiff.

Weld it

 

[munch]

I still venture onto the occasional MX track, I think the XC is probably right up my alley, but, those red and white machines whisper to me at night.......

I think you would have a blast on a 125.

 

[munch]

I've been lurking there , watching, waiting.........

Riding a 125 means you have to be in just the right gear, have to attack corners, and have constant clutch and throttle control, and like I mentioned above you cannot be lazy.

:nod:

Words of wisdom ! ! !



Thumper = Lazy boy, plenty of energy afterwards for a big thick vanilla shake when done riding, no laying on the ground looking like you had a bike strapped on your back for the last 12 miles of the race :coocoo: ............


It might not be that much longer and I am going to put a cup holder on my thumper :laugh: :laugh:
