reading an article in Cycle World that sez Husqvarna was started in 1689 as an Swedish arsenal and has been building bikes since 1903....who knew??? i know it is one of my favorite bikes from my dirt bike yrs and has always been one of the best but i had no idea that they had the history they do. The article talks about them now building street bikes, and that they are building some really fine ones to boot.

thought some of you might find that interesting cuz most of us think of Triumph,hd,Indian and the likes when we think bike history but who thinks of Husky?? and if that is not enough it sez that yhey never had $$problems and have been building continuosly since the begining so.....

interesting
