I got a buddy there...but he may possibly be banned by now as I haven't been there for a long time.
You may have heard of him...Dani aka 2BB aka TwoBlack Belts! He's a crazy guy! :lg:
I should invite him over here! :cool:

I'm a member there but only to glean any tech stuff on the drz forum, but as Cupid said i've posted a question and got no answers stuck up f**ckers.
They're all self proclaimed experts and try to answer questions which they know nothing about.
The DRZ forum members praise the DRZ for being the best ds bike around but i asked the question "if its that good why are there so many questions and cries for help on there regarding bike faults?"
I got no answer to that one :mellow:

Oh well, I was only trying to be helpful:rolleyes:
Having more than one cylinder myself I did not spend much time there.
It has got me thinking about the Husky 400/410 though, looks a nice bike, any experience of Husky 4 strokes?

Comes from the same "family" as my Cagiva (MV Aguasta/Proton) and I think this may be the next addition to the garage:FFonRF:

tbh they rate the TE250 as one of the best green lane tools, but if its DS use then obviosuly the TE400/410 would be better

I know very little about the TE250, is it a 4 stroke?
There is a 510 on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4530748848&ssPageName=ADME:B:DS:UK:28
But I want something smaller
Interested to see what it bids up to, looks like a decent off roader
If it stays at that low price, or around it, may even bid for it, but I suspect the 250/400/410 is more up my street:FFonRF: (or should I say dirt?)
I go there sometimes,some good information,but they are mainly Septics and of course live in only one world.They ask super dumb questions...like - ''what shall I buy,an XT225 or a DRZ400?'' They really need help eh? On the trials forum are a couple of guys who really know their stuff and have put in some good info that is worth printing out....the rest are tossers.

Yup i think the 250 is a thumper, what about the crf 250, a nice four stroke and i think they're only around £2700 new

I thought the CRF was a 2 stroke
I have nothing against 2 strokes, just prefer the sound of a 4 stroke and have this theory that a thumper is a mellow sound that does not upset horses and ramblers.
Having seen the Husky TE510 go for so little on ebay, I am going to start a serious search for a 4 stroke Husky. I am not in a hurry, and will find something:mellow:
