#4 I can't believe what I'm seeing on these posts. Does this mean you are abandoning the smooth easy ride of the mopeds? Dude, what are you thinking? The styling, the feel of the road, and the babes.... please come to your senses.

Kelley Blue book says this about Huskys:

2001 Husqvarna CR250 Value Email

Mileage/condition and additional equipment may have a substantial impact on the value shown above. This value also takes into account the dealers' profit, costs for advertising, sales commissions and other costs of doing business.

Prez,

Since the make me an offer process is getting us no where maybe we should get the bike appraised. What do you think?

#4

Caboose · Bitch Rider

I'll take the bell, you name the price.

Pres · Tag Hgugr

$ 101 or 102 gets you the frame (come with a title). When do you want to meet?

.Anybody else need any parts? I got every one minus the clutch basket and the frame

# 5 all i need to do is sell 49 more $100 parts

# 2

Lame Member # 13

Pez, I'll give you $102 weirdface

Lame Member # 4

Prez,

Ok here it goes, $101 for the used bike. This should get the deal done.

4 figures.

Caboose · Bitch Rider

#4, I don't think you understand the situation properly. Maybe this will give you some perspective. He loves that bike so much that he bought it twice. I think you need to get into the mid to high 3 figures range for him to respond.

Only trying to help,

Lame Member # 4

Prez,

$20 big ones. What do you say? Are we close?

That's weird, I guess I tossed out the issue but when American Motorcyclist from a couple of months ago reviewed the "new" Husky dual sport which they raved about (can't remember the model) it was still blue and yellow.

#5, you can still stay orange.....the KTM 450/530 EXC's are street legal stock from the factory. And the new Husky's are red and white the past couple years, pretty sweet lookin bike!

I don't think the KLX 250 would move my arse???

Pres · Tag Hgugr

KLX250S 2005 on is probably a more realistic Price range for me

Johnny Rotten · WPR God

#2, you have piqued my curiosity with the Husky's for sale. But my plan is to join you. I have been doing my homework and the only real serious off road bike that is street legal is the Husqvarna.

A Swedish design that is produced in Italy - how can I not buy that bike?!?!?!? It's looking more and more like I will be making the switch to blue/yellow when it happens. For the record, I will keep the Orange 200 for those fully dirt rides and with the kinder.

The outer loop in the back woods is complete, only need to wait for the ground to firm up a bit. It will be ridden shortly. Once I have it tuned up all will be welcome to take a spin. Bring over the #1 and the 70, that is who the outer loop is designed for. It still needs to be tested.

Hey #10, who's trailer do you think he used to pick them up? And have you seen the pics of his "new sleds". I just refer to what he said, it wasn't worth the gas to go get them.

And this member you are talking about is no longer an ORV owner. C'mon, WPROTY, get real!!!!!!!!! Of course I guess I can't expect you to remember that since YOU DIDN'T RIDE WITH US EVEN ONCE LAST SEASON!!!!! (yes, you hit a nerve - HA!!) Don't bitch slap the bitch or you will get the nasty end of the stick.

Soooooo, I know you didn't visit the site much last summer, but I have carrying this torch for a while now. So although I didn't come up with the idea, I am the one that is "pushing the club". I know the Pres likes this idea except for the driving on public roads with other cars. He had made this my biggest concern as well, but if we stay way off the beaten path, and drive very defensive when on public roads, I bet there would be no close calls.

#10, think of it this way, Porche didn't invent the auto - that was another German company.

So what did he get and wasn't there 2 of them?

WPR10 · Senior WPR Member

#5 I hate to burst yoru bubble on this one but the Dual SPort bike idea is certainly not an original one. Has that Double Quarter Pounder gotten to your brain already???

Another member made a serious push for the DS bike idea a while back. He also by the way is also now a Snowmobile owner himself reaching out to both sides of our club with the utmost in dedication.

Who could this member be??? Hummmm? Maybe this member should get the WPROTY trophy for ... how did you put it... "pushing the club forward"

Prez,

I offer $10 bucks for the Husqvarna ( whos-your-father). Let me know so I can make plans to pick it up.

Wow, the end of an era. Getting rid of the Husky?

Didn't Jack Nicholson get murdered in EZ Rider?

"Here's to the first of the day boys! EEEEEEE-AAAAHHH--Indians" Jack says that as he pulls out a flask as they get two steps out of the police station and swills some Jim Beam.

Watch it the night before your trip.

I don't ride motorcycles, they're dangerous. Check out the Polaris/Victory place in Foxboro next the stadium. They have an unreal selection of reasonably priced used bikes.

I'm up for the dual bike, I might have to park it at your house though! Nice report on the trip. It was one of the highlights of my life so far. I can't get the images out of my head and can't believe it's over. Wild Hogs...saddle up!

Lame Member # 13

Too many scenes from "Wild Hogs" come to mind for me. I'm out biggrin

Johnny Rotten · WPR God

I enjoy this format so please allow me indulge.

Lowlights:
- Needing a sledgehammer, torch and disc grinder to get the brake drums off the 4 place trailer.
- Laying in puddles in the rain to work on the 4 place.
- Using an open trailer again.
- Duct taping bins to keep our stuff dry and clean.
- Tempermental Dodge truck that was designed and built to tow stuff that hemmed and hawed while towing stuff.
- Flashing back-up lights for no reason.
- Getting stuck in a 4WD vehicle and freezing our ballz off only 1 mile from our destination.
- Too much snow on a snowmobile trip???!?!?!?!?!?
- Tons of loose snow on the trails.
- Listening to people complain about charging their electronics in a too perfect to describe backcountry cabin on this type of trip (for just 1 night).
- Not having the ballz to ask the good looking barkeep in Chandler if she wanted to have a drink after hours.
- #388 said it perfectly, the meal in Chandler was just awful.
- The poor condition of the local road leaving Rimouski.
- 10.5 hour drive home.

Ok, enough of that, I really had to work to find that many things that qualified as lowlights on this trip. Now the fun list:

Highlights:
- #388 helping to bash the 2nd side brake drum off.
- 10.5 hour drive up flew by with good friends and good conversation.
- 4 place travelled well.
- #388 figuring out to add more boost to the brake controller so I didn't feel like I wasted 20 hours of my life and $130 of everyone's money.
- #388's back holding up for every mile of driving.
- The great hospitality of all of our hosts.
- Chantal's cooking and always smiling face.
- Finding the trailhead on day 1 of riding.
- Arriving to cold beers, h'ors duerves (sp?) and a blazing fire in the cabin at Madaleine
- Basically no breakdowns.
- Some virgin groomed trail sections.
- Spectacular trails and scenery.
- Gorgeous weather every day of riding.
- Losing bogie wheel a stone's throw from the trailer.
- #10 landing with the rubber side down.
- Beating the "Quebec Blizzard of '78" by a meer 30 minutes.
- Fresh snow to ride on.
- Smiling faces and dinner back at Domaine Valga.
- Good friends, good times, good riding, great memories.

This trip was so good, and the talk of #388 and #2 racing the Baja as a team, it makes me want to do a dirt trip with a group of WPR Riders. Think about it, first we all commit to get dual sport bikes. Next we hold 3 meetings in May, June and August. Then we ride a 3 day progressive ride through upstate NY, VT, NH and ME.

Just like the sled trip except on 2 wheels! C'mon, promise me you'll think about it!!!!!!!! Like a brilliant wine, let it swish around in your heads a little bit before gulping it down. The taste it will leave on your pallet promises have great body and good legs, no fade.

We're not getting any younger. It should be much less money and it would only be a total of 3 days away since the ride up and back is part of the trip itself. Just say the word and I will lay the groundwork and propose a trek.

Hmmmmmmmm, I can already see the wheels turning in your heads. This is my new challenge.

Pushing the club forward,
#5
