Why stihl? Looking for chainsaw? We've always used Husqvarna's at my work and love them.
Creature of habit. Looking for a pole pruner. I did check out Husqvarnas website though. I'm gonna see if our small tools guy has any stroke on pricing tomorrow.Quote:

I've always been told Stihl was the best, but when the ignition quit on mine I bought a Husky. 8 Cords later I'm still on the original chain with some sharpening. Bought their weed eater last summer too. I am sold on Husky's forever.

Then every teenager with a dollar to his name spent it to make Torsten a multi millionaire buying gear from THOR. If you didn't wear a Joffa mouth guard and THOR boots and chest protector, you were a squid of the highest order.
I bought and raced Huskies from then on. Still have the 82 250 XC.

This what Torsten and his buddies showed up with in 66 and 67.
Ake Jonsson Hopetown 67

Roger DeCoster Hopetown 1967 He hadn't even thought about talking to Suzuki when this was taken. Notice they don't have numbers on the plate, but letters. A,B,C.... they weren't AMA riders and were just there as an exhibition, to show us how bad we were. :shock:

Yep, the Jofas were a necessity, then the hard rock guards came out. Do you guys remember Hot Hats ?

I only know because I owned a Bultaco Matisse. One of the few bikes I wish I had never sold.
Want to take a swing at what matisse means and why they were called that?
