foxes often find road kill, and bury or partially bury it, intending to return, but quite often do not, as they can be legally shot, and even become roadkill themselves, also undertaker beetles can quickly dispose of a carcass leaving holes that can look like a small bullet or pellet wound, if a shotgun was used the pellets are within the remains after the beetles have done their job, same for a non exited pellet or smallbore rifle, even sintered rounds will leave a trace.

was the head present, or the feet.

IMO, the older stuff was, while being heavy by todays standards pretty much indestructible, and that would apply to many brands, not just Husqvarna, but just about all of the manufactures built decent durable saws, the "cd" range of Huskies could handle most wood, and if needed there were big Dolmars the 153,166. as well as the Stihls, 041,right up to the huge displacement 090. I cant get enthusiastic about a 500i or "autotune" it's not that I object to progress, but maybe the direction it's gone, building as cheap as possible and often short lived components, rather than higher quality build and long life. some of todays saws are almost devoid of any user serviced parts. much like modern cars. not sure if I would feel different if I still had to earn a living with a saw. a decent older Husky or a Dolmar 116si would suit me just fine. that said I'll rebuild this 350 and you never know, it might just grow on me.

I can remember even as a kid walking among the rows of bikes at the places they congregated, learning the names, the engine size, the top speed, etc, most had taken a standard old bike, and made it their own, crankcases would be polished like chrome, solvol must have been on overtime back then, usually in the old cafe racer, or Clubmans style, clip ons, rearsets, ally guards, but no two alike, names were often spoke of like Hyde, Hagon, Kuhn, Dow, and many more. later there was Ducati, Guzzies, Benelli, even saw a Munch Mammoth once, leather jackets,festooned with chrome studs and enameled badges, and old surplus boots from Pride and Clarks, with the white sea socks folded over the tops,and the essential white silk scarf, and either a "pisspot" helmet or if you were really serious, the silver Everoak "racemaster" a far cry from the rows of identical soul less fireblades an r1,s, gsxr,s and kawasakis. who knew back then it would one day cease to be.

I wonder what the Egli would be worth today?

I conquered Mt Everest.

That's just beautiful, I can remember when rows of them would be lined up outside various venues, before taking off somewhere for the customary "burn up" there was one I knew with the DBD34 and rrt2 box, it was real nice and fast too, but he got quite a bit of stick for "ruining a Goldie"

Frankenbikes were popular back then, triton, tribsa, trifield,Villiers bantams, even Ariel Arrow bantams, Harley 45 in any frame you could squeeze it into,various engines in the wideline Norton frame, Ariel square 4, The famous Egli Vincent Even Ariel got in on it with the 650 Huntmaster/ BSA collaboration. At one time I had a 250 AJS, and discovered the 350 looked to the inexperienced eye exactly the same, for a short while my "250" was quicker than all the others, until word got out.

but I was told there's boat loads arriving every day.

no idea, never had another to compare it with. barrel looks in decent nick, might source some parts and rebuild it in between more desirable projects as long as it isn't cost prohibitive.

I had a few Bantams over the early years, brilliant little bikes, so simple to maintain, never gonna break any speed records but always got me home. even tuned one to get a little more "performance" Todd 160 barrel and piston, Alpha crank, wal phillips fuel injection, expansion box, clip ons, etc. looked and sounded the part but wasn't really gonna set the road alight. then found that with a little backyard ingenuity it was possible to shoehorn a 250 Villiers twin into it,, now that did liven it up considerably.

I'm fast approaching a 100 saws of all brands, sizes and categories Stubby, I can honestly say my opinion of this particular one is extremely low, even as a homeowner saw, plastic fecking crankcase!!! every saw I own will surpass this pos with no effort at all, glad I didn't buy the thing.

would that be those who gloated over the murder of Charlie Kirk, or those that mourned his demise.

I'll see if I can take a few photos and post 'em up, maybe it would help to identify it. all my husqvarnas are older examples and the build quality is testament to how they have survived decades of use, and even abuse, this 350 is pitiful both in design and build, every corner that could be cut in its design has been taken, I doubt it would last a season if I was still working a saw daily. I managed to get a few shots, but its hard to show the crap fixings, course threads like self tapping screws into plastic.

when I had my first bike, a standard well worn 250 Royal Enfield I dreamed of one day owning a bike that did "the ton" as life moved on and that was achieved I had no idea that before I gave up bikes completely I would double that magical figure. I speak occasionally with an old deerstalker friend,with a military background and now approaching 90 years old, tells me there comes a time when the killing stops, you grassed enough deer, the quest for speed dwindles, and you cant predict when it happens, but it surely does, but until that moment,,, give it hell.

The disappointment in the 350 husqvarna, was quickly surpassed by the joy of finding two immaculate Danarms a 125, and a dd8f fully working condition with a box of spares and the original operators manuals. sometimes your the tree and sometimes your the dog.

I feckin' wonder sometimes. I really do, some of you cutns are like circling vultures waiting for the next post from your chosen adversary so you can have yet another go at twisting and ridiculing whatever they said, oblivious to the fact that you are just as feckin' antagonizing as you perceive them to be, Anno is correct in as much as much of the forum that could be used for debate descends into a pissing contest.

what a piece of shit, everything about it shouts cheap and flimsy, plastic crankcase lower, self tappers instead of proper threaded metal fixings, looks like it was assembled in tingtong land by chimps on a friday afternoon. not what I expect of Husqvarna, more like a toy than a useful tool.got one that had low comp, turns out the crankcase halves bolts are coming loose and destroying the cheap pot metal, no wonder they are so light,, hardly any decent metal in them. gudgeon pin is imfeckin'possible to get out as the poxy clips that hold it it have nothing to get anything on them to remove them. whole thing is a bad joke.
