Hey guys,
My name is Eric, I live in Pennsylvania.I ride pretty well anything I can get my grubby little hands on.Right now it's a 1982 Husqvarna CR430.

I like trail riding on... :think: moderate rough terrain.Bogs, logs, minor jumps and such.No good for catching air I just like to ride them on the ground.I've always been drawn to two wheels because you can fit between trees and things better then a quad(no offense to you guys with 4 wheelers :nener: ).

I always have a riding partner.Usually my 9 year old nephew with his DR70.He's a trip and he's never afraid to follow me anywhere.Once he sees Unc' do something on the white beast he'll try it also unless I tell him "NEVER NEVER DO THIS!".Course he probably does it when Im not around...

I started with a 1978 Yamaha IT175 and it was a good bike.I learned how to work on it from a Clymer( :moon: <---I dont like Clymer)manual, and what I learned from my Dad.

I wrecked a couple times but never seriously.Im a pretty conservative rider.Once I put on the brakes when I was 15 and forgot to put a foot down...duh.And the other time I remember I botched a small jump and sorta rolled off the side of the bike.Snapped off my front brake handle but nothing else.

In a nutshell thats me.

Welcome to the site :cool:

I see where you have gone to your User CP and updated information relating to your location. Grab a spot on the couch and tell us a bit about yourself. How long you have been riding, what kind of riding you prefer, where you are located, etc.

We will do our best to hook you up with some fellow dirt bike enthusiasts. Check out the Damn Yankee Dirt Riders forum for some folks in your area. You just missed a ride at Paragon by a week, but there is always something going on. Check it out.

Again, welcome to the site and shout if you have any questions!

Hey welcome to DRN...rat bike, I think that those older Huskys are very cool. Have you had any problems getting parts? I ask because I almost bought one a year or so ago, but I couldn't find a part source for pre Italian Huskys. Anyway stick around and keep riding.
