    There may be a process to recover a lost title and get it re-titled in NH. But I am not aware of what that process looks like. I was assured it required previous owner cooperation.

    My attitude now is a MY2000+ bike with no title is worth at most ~50% what it is worth a title. YMMV here.

    You didn't hear me sounding the horn before pitting in (to port) last weekend?! Oh yeah, you weren't there.

    DRZ is presently faster than your motard.

    Get the dirt equivalent of a liter bike as your first. Makes perfect sense to me.

    Re: New dirt rider advice

    Those Husqvarna were made by the old husky. The sold for nothing and all came with the factory 167 kit as far as I could tell. I'm going to agree with the no 450's consensus, but I disagree that a 125 or 150 isn't good. It may end up giving you some similar problems to a 450 believe it or not, they wont want to go slow and in tight slow areas they can be hard to keep running. But, they are super easy to start and something like that Husky can be clutched and feather without the horrendous whiskey throttle you could get from a big 4 stroke. Go check out the 200 and that husky and see what you like best. I would be happy to ride either.

    Good info, thanks. Looking for a 200 or 250 that fits the bill, but people are kind of crazy with the pricing

    Seriously? I just spoke to the guy, sounds really sorted. He has no CO but says he can get it, not that it really matters. 14 hours on the rebuild

    hahaa, yeah, that's my old WR165. Jesus i want it back soooo bad. Tim is great people, he's just moved on.

    if you want to know anything about the bike, just ask. it's not a factory 165 kit, completely custom with most work done by Walt Smith. at 200lbs, the suspension will need some attention. the motor is fan-fucking-tastic though.

    Re: New dirt rider advice

    take a serious look at the 165, Jewcati, it's an insanely fun and capable woods machine. feels like a mountain bike.

    EDIT: and to explain why this is OK but maaaybe a stock 125/150 isn't ... this bike was built to be a goat in the woods. motor mods, pipe mods, carb mods, PV mods, head mods, gearing. it was made to compete with the KTM 200, but better, and way more capable than the factory 144 kit it came with.

    i really miss it.

    interesting question (worth), i don't know. Italian Husky is gone although these little bikes are still desired. i'd have to do research.

    when i bought it, from a Hall's employee, it was revalved and resprung for a 175lb A-level woods racer with some MX thrown in. i went one step stiffer on the rear spring. Halls did all suspension work initially, i had Peter at GMD refresh before i sold it but no changes otherwise. no clue what changes were made after i sold it.

    Damn that's a sick bike.

    Is this a different Tim than the one I'm thinking of? I thought he has a blue/yellow husky...

    I love it when money gets spent.

    Did you get your kid something yet too? Or can we endlessly quibble about that still?
