Husqvarna Museum

For Christmas this year my wife planned and paid for a trip to Sweden to visit the Husqvarna Museum (she works for an airline). I was just curious if anyone that has been there had any words of wisdom, or possible ideas on what I should make a priority to check out besides the museum. Have been to Europe before but never Sweden. Awesome wife right. Thanks for any suggestions.

Lucky fellow

Go also to the new Motocross Museum - about 2 hours from the factory....

Thanks Andy, I remember reading about that now. I just found out recently that the local Husky/KTM dealership here in Anchorage AK is operated by Don Rosene, an AMHF board member and employee of John Penton back in the day. Super nice guy. BTW if you have not seen the documentary about John Penton, then get it. Great film!

Arne Kring is a Swedish former motocross racer. His greatest successes came in the 1970s and after. Like many Swedes of his time, he rode Husqvarna bikes. His best performance was in 1970 when he led the in the F.I.M. 500cc world championship points standings after the first nine rounds, before he broke his back while competing in a non-championship race. He finished the season in second place behind Åberg during a year of absolute Swedish domination in the 500 cc class, with fellow Swede Åke Jonsson finishing in third place. He also was a member of the winning Swedish team of the Motocross des Nations in 1970 and in 1974. Kring was also one of the pioneers who helped to make motocross extremely popular in the United States.[1][2]
