Cory Graffunder
so the rumours are TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I spoke to the other 'wonderboy', after seeing his 3rd in Oklahoma EX...and is he pumped..
The second thing he says to me is...'did ya see I'm on a Husky?', to which I proclaim ' that's a typo isn't it?'
But hale to what is my understanding, the first PROFESSIONAL Canadian Offroad rider...he signed with Zip Tie Racing a week or so prior to the event
I didn't ask too many grizzly details as the reception was poor but hopefully we see something online somewhere.
cheers

Hey, don't laugh, red European bikes are where it is at.
They totally rule, are awesome, and... are awesome!
Did I mention I have a Husky for sale right now. Maybe if you buy it you will be awesome like me and Cory G.
Eat my dust!

Well its true, you can't take a little red wagon and make it fast, as David Knight proved, however...the Husky is a little different breed. They have a ton of resourses to make the bike work for him...and maybe the dude just has the skill to say " its not about the bike"
best of luck to the man!!!!

I am man enough to admit that I need a solid platform to perform on. The 2 years I spent dangling off the back of my 450SXF was very humbling......

Re: Cory Graffunder
I spoke to Cory yesterday and he had told me the 250F is set up "just the way he likes it". He was also quick to mention that "ty Davis" set up his bike personally.
I am sure that Cory can make anything happen if he wants but I also know Cory has worked hard for it and the bottom line is A Canadian rider CAN get a factory off road ride if you want it bad enough.
Dont forget he has an Excellent manager that helps take care of his buisness side as well as a supportive family.
sound familiar "FRYGUY"?

Re: Cory Graffunder
Same model as Zeals (and mine too) but it is the long awaited 2010 model year that is a redesigned version with a brand new engine and chassis. If memory serves me correctly, it weighs about 202 lbs dry. Yes 202lbs. Could be a real game changer since Huskys have been well, husky in the past but this new bike is significantly lighter than its Austrian and Japanese counterparts so those following Husky are very excited to see how the new bike works. Cory's podium shows that the bike is capable so lets hope that with Cory's talent, a good bike and great team, Cory can make a serious impression on the off road world in the years to come.TrialsPaul wrote:There is a press release on offroadchampions
