Well my old Husky is back. My Mates had it for a few years and its needs some TLC. Great Winter project. Not even sure if it turns over yet! he has not ridden it since 2009. It will be stripped in the Autumn etc.

Looks like you should slap him for giving it back in that condition (yellow and blue )

yes iam a tad miffed. It was lovely when he got it. It was great fun to ride though. I rode it over our landfill sites and it was a blast. Suspension still seems fine and the brakes are ok. Not sure about the engine though yet!!!

Lovely (potentially! ) My cousin recently bought a husky 610 supermoto, cracking bike, unfortunately it's given me an itch that needs scratching!

Items should be returned in the condition they where borrowed in. You could have some fun on that. I hope it all starts and it's just surface wear and tear.

Nothing like an off-roader for some added fun, I'm sure you'll get the bike back to her former glory Paul :D
Just don't lend her out again, unless it's to me of course :wink: :lol:

I assume you are using the term friend loosely!

Here in Oz we would say Bloody Mongrel.

What a shame, hope and know that you will get it back to it's former glory.

Good luck!

Guys he is a good friend but hopeless mechanically. He did great by me during my Cancer treatment and i did neglect the bike a bit too. He didn't tell me till xmas that he hadn't ridden it for years!!!. I assumed he was still riding it.

I will have it looking ok, but mechanically great i hope. looking forward to the blue haze and smell once its going.
