That looks like far too much fun... :smt003

Pardon my ignorance, but is it a stinkwheel or diesel Husky?

The sound of it, you would think it was a diesel :smt017
It's a Husky SM610, so plenty of fun, especially with new rubber on the rear! Thought I should get a second bike so I can take El Falco off the road for longer periods to do some fettling without having to worry about getting it back together for the next days commute.

Have to get it down to the Nooj for a bit of his special treatment.

Enjoy it;)


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Diesel.. :smt002 (4 stroke petrol) Can you imagine the powerband kicking in on a 610 single stinkwheel?! :smt007 :smt007

I'd like to (as long as I'd got my life insurance up to date... :smt003 ) The torque on a 610 stinkwheel would be monstrous...

Common sense told me it was a 4T but the engine, and in particular the cylinder head, looked small enough for a 2T.

I bet it's big, big fun...

It does look like fun. But not useful for people with short, fat, hairy legs.
