No wonder the owner won't start it. The things make more noises than a Detroit 671.

But the Husqvarna 450 Desert Sled- wooo! More horsepower than my Command Car, weighed 235 pounds. That was subjectively the fastest I have ever gone- 4th gear, full throttle. dirt road across the USN Carrizo bombing range. The speed made everthing blurrry for waaaay toooo far ahead to see rocks. of which there were many. So I kicked it into 5th, backed off the gas and slowed down below 100 mph. Soon thereafter, I made it into a three wheeler. Just to keep me up with the guys on the Honda 250r's. Later, after my back went bad, I couldn't sell any of the 6 Husky's I had gathered. They all went to the dump, circa 1984.

Ah, the memories- salvaged parchute flares going off in the truck, separated ribs from the beer run, hand surgery, concussions. Power Wagons weren't the only foolish contraptions I flew in...
