[QUOTE="530ktm, post: 40197, member: 586"] This is the story of the Husky Memorial. A fellow by the name of Jim Erickson loved to ride his 390 Husqvarna (Husky) dirt bike in the desert around Cuddeback Dry Lake and East of California City. Unfortunately, in 1987, he died and his buddies took his motorcycle out to this spot in the middle of the desert and planted it in concrete and put up a metal flag. Over the years it has been vandalized and even shot up but his friends still go out and put on new gas tanks and fenders, etc. to keep it looking good. In the more recent years it has become a rather sacred spot and become quite popular as other memorials have been placed out there for riders who are no longer with us. This is very close to the spot where my good buddy, Bill Perrett, was killed in a head on collision on Thanksgiving morning in 2009 riding his KTM and I too put a memorial for him out at the Husky Memorial and included a picture of it.
