I thought that was a chainsaw company?dflea said:Riding dirt bikes.
When I was in high school I had a Husqvarna 430XC, and we'd go riding almost every weekend. My old man would have me and my brother load the bikes in the trailer on Saturday night, and Sunday morning we'd meet up for breakfast with a dozen other bike guys and figure out where we were going. Back then, we could unload the bikes at the fairgrounds in Shelton and ride all the way out to Dayton Peak and back without any problems. We'd go down to Bend and race the High Desert 100 every year, and camp out up on the Little Naches river every summer and ride bikes all day and fuck off around the campfire at night.
That fucking bike was so fun to ride. But it's a young man's sport - unless you want to be half crippled by the time you get to my age, so I kinda gave up riding when I had young kids and had to pay for all the riding shit myself. I'd sure like to climb on that bike again and see if I live through it.

How about when blink 182s main singer was the one dude and not the emo guy.
They had like 2 albums afterward and no one cared
Plenty of better emo bands -
I went to school with Tom DeLonge (apparently) and I couldn’t tell you the name of one of their songs.Pitchfork51 said:How about when blink 182s main singer was the one dude and not the emo guy.

Yep. And sewing machines. And the logo is actually a view down a rifle, with the barrel and front and rear sight profile on top. I've seen a Husqvarna bike, sewing machine and chain saw, but never one of their rifles.YellowSnow said:

Unfortunately, you can't really see a Husqvarna bike anymore, either. They're now just KTMs with white plastics.

The other day I was remembering movie and video game rental stores

I was still in college when they were big but I don’t remember any of my frens being into them at all. Maybe they were teenybopper punk for HS kids.Pitchfork51 said:
