You might have been tall for this little 360MX, however I'm sure it would pull like a freight train, the suspension was not for the feint of heart.
What a nice restoration.

I think that it's a 1971 360, I've got a 1972 360, not nearly as nice however!!
Also those little street trackers are real popular around these parts, the XS650, SR500, CB350, Honda Ascot, that's all I can think of. But a lot of those get made up with that old 1/2 mile dirt track look, although SuperMotard has now come along and every body is going for that look now. I love seeing all the shit people will do to a bike, it keeps it interesting!!
This thing could haul yer bikes around in style.

I have never ever seen a Husqvarna Trials bike, this is a one off, made down in San Diego, CA. By Vintage Iron. Front forks look DKW?

Oh my!
Thanks for the invite 2x, I think I have died and gone to heaven!
I'm in process of moving, but I will dig up some of my bike photos. Currently riding a 99 Ninja 250 for commuting purposes, and I own 7 - 10 other bikes. Never can keep track. Bought a basket case 1980 Husqvarna 390CR about a week ago. Pile of pieces but all the pieces are there. Now I have somewhere to post pics of the restoration!
I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread.

I was wondering if you were ever gonna drop in on this thread, 2X and I were the only ones keepin' it going. We were gittin' sick of one another.....
Would love to see the photos of that 390,
Heres one of my bombers.

At first I thought it was a V-Rod, then as I got closer, I saw it is a Chinese
Hysong?

Yeah, They sure tried hard to copy a V-rod!
Check out this Husky memorial, it's a 1978 OR390, it's out in the middle of the Mojave desert. It's near some old mines and a dry lake, Think I'll make a trip out there.

thats really cool maybe in another 50yrs there will be enough stuff piled up to fill that circle in
|

In 50 years that Husky would bo worth $20,000.00, if there was anything left of it.
This guy was on the cover of everything in the early 80's, Steve Bauer.
A lot of the top magazines were making the transition to using real racers for their cover shots, this guy was one of the first, and one of the best.

I would love to get a BMW K1 (hot dog colors for sure), but they fetch pretty high prices these days
With sidecar!:
|
|
That K1 looks like Der Weiner bike. What is that, like mid eighties or so?
Check out this new Vincent I found.
