    Somehow stumbled upon this long film footage from the 84 Malmo GP of Sweden. Anyone have insight into this Husky and rider? Great footage with sound right from the get-go! (sorry if this has already been posted in the past)

    Leif Persson was a development rider for the Husqvarna factory from about the late 70's until the sale of Husqvarna to Cagiva. I believe he went to KTM at that point more or less

    Top riders from my past. Is that the year Thorpe won the world championship for the UK?? That was the only year I can remember the BBC showing MX

    I also notice the dual shock Husky 500CR. I'm thinking of building one now since I have all the parts.
