Karel's midlife Husky hating...
Karel's midlife Husky hating crisis has now officially ended.
The absence of serious modification to the TXC is the most impressive point of my test. This bike is largely stock with most mods being added for protection, a search for quicker pit stops or personal preference comfort tweaks. Yet it remains a world-class off-road racer that impressed the heck out of me.
