I sure miss that Husqvarna though. I did ALLOT of desert racing in Cali Nevada AZ & Baja, Mexico.

YES; it was very cool to line up 200 bikes wide do a Lemans style start and race for the black cloud in the sky. The race course started at the tire fire.
It's not like that ANYMORE. Most desert racing is done at a designated race area, I guess if that's how it can survive, SO BE IT..........
