New Husqvarna 310
Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2012 9:21 pm
Superfast invited me out to his place on Sunday to ride. I had just picked up the new Husky on Saturday so he didn't need to ask me twice. When I got there Brad was jones'in for an adrenaline fix too so after checking out the wheels, injection, hydraulic clutch and the brembo brakes we fired those puppies up.
Scott has a very nice practice track set up. It has a little bit of everything. I was working on my cornering and trying to keep up the speed throughout the entire corner. It's cool getting feed back from the guys and running the same corner over and over till all the sudden it just "clicks" and you say wow! I got it right! I forgot about the heat while I was adjusting to the different feel of my husky. Of course I let Scott on it...(only had to ask him once) and I got to ride his smoker. (nice ride dude). I realized I was just lugging it a little too much and came into the turns just a bit faster but in one gear higher and sure enough with some fine encouragement from Scott and Brad
(like "get the lead out you turtle!") I was all aces in the corners. Had to coax Brad a bit as he didn't want to scratch it. I said "man have you seen my Honda?!". Scott said just go ride, relax and have fun. Brad got on and was lookin good in no time!
Donnell's hooked me up with a fine machine and I really like it.
Everyone at Donnell's is top notch, professional with a passion for bikes. This bike is everything Bart Shiftlet and Doug Stone said it was and more.
After a while the heat did set in and we put the bikes away and jumped in the pool. Man that was nice! We compared notes on the days events and took turns catching Teko our "3rd shooter" as he swam around in the pool. He moves through the water like a fish! Any way I'm quite sure I got a little too much sun today but my wife loves it. Guess I'm going to retire early today...
Anyway thanks for the invite and letting us rip it up today man. There are no places to rest on your track dude so next time please gives us some of that crack induced cocaine nitro glycerine or what ever it is that makes you such a crazy monkey out there on the track!
Thanks bro!
