Ever since I first heard about the Husky TE310, I knew I wanted to own one. Currently, I own and ride a Honda CRF230F and a Honda CRF250X on trails and a Husqvarna TE610 on dirt roads and easy trails. I use the 230F as a chainsaw bike, hauling a chainsaw around the trails in the spring and early summer, clearing trails and getting ready for the riding season. My 250X has a Thumper Racing 270 big-bore kit installed and the bike is my main trail bike. The 270 kit gave the 250X a much better mid-range pull and the bike does very well on the trails here in the central Colorado Rocky Mountains. But I have always thought that a 300 or 325cc 4-stroke would be a better size bike for this area. With the TE310 (at 300cc), I'll get a chance to see if my supposition is right. The 6-speed gearbox and fuel injection make the TE310 one of the most technically advanced trail bikes that I will ever have ridden and owned. I can't wait.

 

Recently on Thumpertalk, Dagwood_55 asked:
So, would you ride your new 310 all day on a 200 mile trip, with a couple of 10-15 mile highway sprints at 55MPH?? The rest being gravel roads, ATV trails and some tuff, rocky, rooty, nasty stuff??? Or, do you feel this will shorten the life of the little giant??

My reply:
At my age and physical condition, I doubt I could ride 200 miles in a day. But I do expect to ride my new TE310 on 100 mile rides over dirt roads, 4WD roads, ATV routes, easier single-track trails, and occasional highway sprints.

After break-in, I plan a shakedown ride from Salida to Red Canon Park/Canon City and return in early March. This will be dirt roads and a few highway sections.

Some events I'm planning to ride in '09 are:
O'Kokopelli Ride 2009, March 20-22!!!
West Fest 2009 Buena Vista, CO (7/30-8/2)
WF09 Routes, Tracks and riding info.
West Fest 2009
Alright Already! (FMF) '08

and maybe one or two of these kinds of rides:
Ride Report: Rooster juice
Pearls of the Colorado Rockies
The Front Range Big Dog Ride

Before buying the TE310, I was going to have to ride my TE610 or CRF230F on these rides, but I think the TE310 will be more suitable and a lot more fun.


See my Husqvarna Resources web page for some tips on where I find information on the web.
