paulmbowers 236 Posted September 15, 2014 Great rider. But... When, oh, when will people stop making videos that begin with an animated logo, music that builds during 30 seconds of close-up detail shots with a little tracking dolly, then cutting to action shots as the music crescendos? Havent we seen this 1000 times already? (sorry pet peeve.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertaccio 409 Posted September 15, 2014 PMB they just need to add a slowmo comin at ya wheelie shot with a fiery explosion in the background to really top it off!!!! PS as long as these companies (like KTM) keep paying and signing off on the advert agencies to create these clone ad campaigns we will continue feeding on them.

Bbg.will 0 Posted September 16, 2014 Is it me, or was the rider shifting his weight to the outside of the turn and pushing the bike lower into the corner? As opposed to shifting weight towards the center of the curve... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenosan 2 Posted September 17, 2014 In case you are wondering what your grandfather's Husky looked like, this is my brother Pooch on one of our early 70's Huskys. I have 5 of these bikes that I still ride. Notice the protection gear. Good leather boots and pants, open face helmet, goggles, gloves, and full protection long sleeve shirt. Standard equipment for the day. Pretty much what I still wear today. Gave up the leather pants, too hot. Neither my brother nor I suffered any major injuries with this protection.

Covered in Dust 163 Posted September 17, 2014 I was wondering if I'd hear from you Don. I meant no disrespect to the Huskys of old, they were the bike to ride back in the day. Covered in Respect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrophyHunter 15 Posted September 17, 2014 Still want a Husky some day. Maybe cuz Dad put some miles on 'em & they won't leave my brain. Agreed Tracy....great pic of Don's brother. Women ran, men hid, dirt got out of his way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Covered in Respect No disrespect taken Chris. Especially comming from someone with his own collection of cool Vintage bikes. Just didn't want the younger members on the board who never got to ride these bikes to get the impression that Vintage meant boring. Ken, I like the photo of your dad enjoying his Husky.

Bagstr 287 Posted September 17, 2014 http://www.husqvarna-motorcycles.com/heritage.html Vintage,,,Ah yes the 60's. I remember them well. No one taking me to the desert, just a poster infatuation with Joel Robert and the European Outdoor Motocross seen. Imagine, stand at the track just outside the flag barrier. As close as a barefoot kid from El Cajon could get. It is an infection, you never quite recover from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strega 0 Posted September 17, 2014 Pushing the bars down to get less tire on the ground. This in turn will get the back end of the bike to break loose more easily to power slide for the video. Not what you'd want to do on the track while actually racing, but power slides look cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Covered in Dust 163 Posted September 17, 2014 I'm pretty sure Kenny Roberts was the first to bring backing it in to a corner from the dirt to Grand Prix racing. Today all of the stars of Moto GP slide the rear into some corners. There is a reason he's call "King Kenny" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k8hJWKIVNs#t=283 CiD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
