    Giving the new Husky 450...and Echo PAS 225 pole saw a workout reworking some old abandoned apple trees on the farm ! Heard it takes about 3-4 years of hacking to get em tamed into a more useful shape...so we will see lol !
    There's only 20 more to do ...maybe next year :hair:

    I drove a 350x once ! I could pop a wheelie in any gear . I was impressed and scared at the same time lol !
    I'd love to find a 200x when the time is right ;)

    Yup, I set out to buy a 1986 200x, ended up with a 1985 350x...and never once regretted it.
    She was a cranky beast to get fired up...I couldn't ride it for the first 2 days after I got it home...couldn't get it to fire! :hair:
    Should have paid more attention to what the PO was saying about starting it before we left :whistle:
    My buddies always wanted to ride it, I always told 'em they could go for a ride if they could start it...there were only ever a few rides :rofl: :lol:
    I've never ridden any other machine that was easier to wheelie...you can go for miles on the rear wheels as long as it doesn't veer off course left/right...taint no steerin when you have 'er pointed skyward! :D
