Title: It's Here!!! Post by: nathanstott on April 28, 2011, 07,48:05 AM After winning the E1 category of the Enduro World Championship in 2010, Husqvarna celebrated by making a replica of Antione Meo's championship winning bike.
Only 100 have been made and only 5 of those came to Australia and i got the last one of those 5. Six months after ordering it, it's finally here!!!!!! Title: Re: It's Here!!!

Title: Re: It's Here!!! Post by: nathanstott on April 28, 2011, 07,59:04 AM This bike will live inside my house never to be ridden! ( well as long as i can resist the temptation anyway! )
Oh and the 310 in the background of the last few shots, is my bike as well, it's in the shop having some work done to it. Title: Re: It's Here!!! Post by: nathanstott on April 28, 2011, 08,05:58 AM Thanks Seano, there's some pretty trick stuff on this bike, and Ian not being married and having no kids means i can have bikes inside, ride when i want and buy new toys when i want, and if i start the bike inside and the house smells like exhaust fumes for a day.. then it doesn't matter!!....life is good

Title: Re: It's Here!!! Post by: Eric L on April 28, 2011, 09,01:02 AM Congrats on the new addition to the family Nathan, and no nappys to change ;D ;D
Title: Re: It's Here!!! Post by: Zeb Colic on April 28, 2011, 09,06:19 AM Thats why the boys forgot to order my clutch plates becasue they were all to busy looking at the Meo ... Bet it hits a trail within a month that thing was not built to sit in a lounge room so get on it and get going mr Stott . ;D
Title: Re: It's Here!!! Post by: nathanstott on April 28, 2011, 09,23:43 AM Will, it's a 250cc with a full titanium Leo vince exhaust system and race ecu, top of the line KYB forks and Sachs shock, titanium foot pegs, billet alloy triple clamps, full factory sticker kit, Husqvarna bash plate, carbon heat shields for the exhaust, up spec brembro brakes, alloy fuel and oil filler caps and husky hand guards,
Thanks Eric, love having no nappys to change. Zeb you are so right, this thing was not built to sit in a lounge room, so it will be interesting to see how long it lasts in mine, but 5 out of 100 is a good reason to leave it there. Title: Re: It's Here!!! Post by: Willbar on April 28, 2011, 09,33:34 AM It may never be a big collectors item but at the end of the day it may be, since you already have a good bike to ride I would leave it in the lounge for the time being, one ride and it will never look so good again. Enjoy dusting it and looking at it. Will
Title: Re: It's Here!!! Post by: nathanstott on April 28, 2011, 09,45:31 AM Won't be a massive collectors item but will be the shiniest thing in my house for a long time, and I also forgot to mention the selle dalla valle seat.
Title: Re: It's Here!!! Post by: Grandpa on April 28, 2011, 10,35:25 PM Did you see Anton Meo riding at the Australian 4day Enduro in 010 ?
He was on a Husky 125 2 stroke ( rumour was that it was a 144). He was so fast that he made a mockery of most riders on larger bikes.........yes, even up long uphills & drag race type starts where a "peaky little 125" should be at a disadvantage ! He seemed to be able to powerslide through rutted out , pooty corners with the front wheel pointing to the sky & change direction at the same time........... no wonder he has won a world championship ! Get the new bike out & ride it !!! Title: Re: It's Here!!! Post by: nathanstott on April 29, 2011, 01,06:45 AM Did you see Anton Meo riding at the Australian 4day Enduro in 010 ?

Get the new bike out & ride it !!! I didn't see Meo ride in the 4day in person but I have seen video footage of it and it's awesome to watch. Shane Watts won the 1998 ISDE on a 125cc bike, and this year in the Enduro World Championship Meo is racing in the E2 category which is the class for the 450's and after 2 rounds Meo leads the championship on his TE 310. I guess that just proves the old saying it's not what you ride but how you ride it! |
