While most other racers would be taking
care of last minute pre-race preparation, Terry
Cunningham does what comes naturally to him:
taking time to visit with a fan and autograph
the man's Husky gas tank.
Being the son of Husqvarna racing legend Dick
Burleson, eight-time AMA Grand National Enduro
Champion, will leave an indelible mark on your
upbringing.
“My mom collected pictures, memorabilia…
everything in my life up until I was about 14 was
Husqvarna,” explained Jon-Erik Burleson. “We still
have bookcases of old Cycle News covers.We didn’t
have anything in our house that didn’t have Husky
Products, Husky or Husqvarna stamped all over it.”
The Husky logo has its stamp on so many
personalities in our industry, suggests Burleson.
“If you look at Mark Blackwell, he came from
Husqvarna and the guy has now become iconic to
the industry. He’s the chairman of the Motorcycle
Industry Council. You can also look at Dave
Bertram and his very
successful chain of
accessory
stores
– Cycle Gear. I
remember when he
was involved with
the race team back in the early 80s. Look at Randy
Hawkins and all his success. I remember his ‘rookie
year’ in national enduros on Husqvarna. A lot of the
big names and their successes can be traced back
to Husqvarna.”
The fabric of motorcycling, as we know it today,
is woven together by the common thread of
Husqvarna, a thread that is now weaving the best
in motocross and off-road together again.
Another family with generations rooted in
Husqvarna is the Pentons. John Penton can credit
himself with being a pioneer of Husqvarna in
America. The famous tough-as-nails endurance
racing legend became Eastern distributor for
Husqvarna in 1968, and he was well engrained in
the brand even through the creation of his own
motorcycle line, Penton Motorcycles, which went
on to become KTM.
John’s son Jack was practically raised on dirt
bikes, and followed in his father’s footsteps as
being a stalwart in off-road racing and a fixture in
the International Six Day Trials. In fact, Jack was
credited with being the youngest rider to ever
earn a gold medal in the Six Days. Though the
Penton family has influenced numerous brands
and companies within the industry, their roots
lead back to Husqvarna.
The legacy has passed on in the Smith family,
as well. On Any Sunday star Malcolm Smith is
another industry icon that was on the ground floor
of Husky’s U.S. foundation. Did Husqvarna help
launch Malcolm’s career, or was it the other way
around? You could probably argue either side of
Generating a Legacy
Grabbing Gears

by the
Husqvarna North
America Staff
that question, but their classic symbiosis is what
painted the bigger picture – the beginning of the
off-road motocross industry.
Smith’s son Alexander didn’t fall far from the tree.
A global extreme enduro competitor, Alexander,
along with his sister Ashley, takes part in running
one of the biggest and most distinguished
dealerships in the country – Malcolm Smith
Motorsports in Riverside, California. A new
generation of Smiths now works alongside a new
generation of Husqvarna motorcycles, continuing
to weave the fabric of motorcycling.
Once again, we are at the threshold of a new
chapter for Husqvarna, and we will be springing
forward in the fall with an all-new chapter. It’s
more than the machinery that will take us into the
next generation of Husky; it’s the generations of
bikes, generations of families and generations of
many proud owners and racers of Husqvarna that
come together to generate a legacy.

Husqvarna is pleased to announce that it is
set to make a welcome return to professional
motocross in 2014. Husqvarna, the pioneer of
motocross, will field two factory-backed teams,
one in the premier class (MX1) and one in the
MX2 World Championship. Each team will feature
two riders.
From left to right: Jacky Martens, Pit Beirer, Oliver Goehring and Antti Pyrhonen
For Husqvarna, the decision to return to the
FIM Motocross World Championship was
an easy one. As one of the world’s oldest
motorcycle manufacturers, Husky is a brand
steeped in off-road history. Dominating the
golden age of motocross in the ‘60s and ‘70s,
the then Swedish manufacturer launched its
iconic reputation. Collecting countless race wins
and titles with legendary riders such as Torsten
Hallman, Rolf Tibblin, Bengt Aberg, Malcolm
Smith, Heikki Mikkola, Husqvarna ruled the
track with some of the earliest purpose-built
motocross bikes.
Utilizing every available resource, Husqvarna
will use cutting-edge technology as it begins
to re-establish itself as one of the leading
manufacturers in motocross. With the direction of
the Swedish brand now mapped out, Husqvarna
will be represented in both classes of the 2014
World Motocross Championship with factory
teams ICE1 Racing in the MX1 (450) division
and Wilvo Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing in
MX2 (250).
“The decision to work with ICE1 Racing
and the Jacky Martens’ racing team was
simple,” confirms Pit Beirer, KTM’s Director of
Motorsport. “Both are already proven as two
of the most professional and driven outfits in
the race paddock. With their input it’s clear
that Husqvarna will be back racing in a very
serious and concerted manner, ensuring future
champions will be added to the list of greats like
Hallman, Smith and Mikkola.”

Husqvarna: The Transition Rolls On
The Amherst crew celebrates
the successful integration of
Husqvarna's parts distribution
into their Ohio facility.
While Husky parts, gear and accessories distribution will be handled in
Ohio (alongside that of KTM’s), the future management headquarters
will be in Murrieta, California, fittingly located on the corner of
Technology and Innovation!

Hall Of Fame to
Honor Husky Legends
“We’re looking forward to inviting industry and media to the new
headquarters once we’re settled in,” said Husqvarna Aftersales and
Racing Manager, Andy Jefferson.
In addition to Lanza and Jefferson, Husqvarna is proud to officially
welcome more Husqvarna Motorcycles North America team members,
most of who transitioned over from previous Husky ownership.
H
usqvarna’s progressive transition under new ownership by Pierer
Industry continues to press forward, and as of August 2013, the
groundwork has been laid for a new foundation of Husqvarna’s North
American presence.
Husqvarna is a living, functioning brand. Moving the infrastructure
while maintaining business operations is a very involved process, but
development thus far has been steady and encouraging. As of this
summer, all parts distribution has been successfully transitioned,
several staff members have been brought aboard, and Husqvarna
Motorcycles North America has secured a location for its future new
headquarters.
Andy Jefferson – Aftersales and Racing Manager
Jamie Lanza – Aftersales and Parts Coordinator
Jon Foster – North American Sales Administrator
Charles Jirsa – National Technical Specialist/Warranty Administrator
Jason Dahners – Dealer Development Specialist
Rod Overstreet – Dealer Development Specialist
Former HMNA employees Jenna Parker and Sharon Richards have
also been integrated into the KTM North America team while still also
working on Husqvarna business.
“Jamie, Charles, Jon, Jason and Rod are all familiar faces of Husqvarna,
and we’re proud to have officially brought them aboard under new
management,” Jefferson said. “They are all excellent ambassadors for
the brand, and passionate about motorcycles. They are a great start
to laying the foundation of a new management team at Husqvarna.”
Husqvarna’s North American parts distribution has been successfully Resmarket, Inc. out of Encinitas, California will be continuing its
transferred to Amherst, Ohio. Husqvarna’s Aftersales and Parts duties as Advertising, Marketing, PR and Events agency of record for
Husqvarna Motorcycles North America.
Coordinator Jamie Lanza talked about the recent relocation.
“This was a big undertaking, but we’re glad to report everything is
in place and the gears are moving,” Lanza said. “It’s been a pleasure
working with the Amherst crew; they’ve been really helpful in learning
our ordering systems and making sure our domestic distribution is as
efficient as possible.”

“We’ve been part of Husqvarna for six years now, going on seven
model years,” commented Resmarket President, Scott Cox. “We’ve
always had great relations with the brand and it’s only going to get
better from here. We are thrilled to be a part of Husqvarna during this
exciting transition and look forward to hosting some very memorable
dealer and press events in the near future.”
We’re getting dressed to the nines and
heading to the Green Valley Resort and
Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada this October
18 for the 2013 AMA Motorcycle Hall of
Fame Induction Ceremony! Husqvarna will
be sponsoring the Legends presentations
of Torsten Hallman and Mark Blackwell –
two very honorable icons of Husqvarna’s
rich American history.
“Everyone of us at Husqvarna Motorcycles is
fortunate for the opportunity to pay tribute
to Torsten Hallman and Mark Blackwell,”
commented Husqvarna’s Andy Jefferson.
“The impact of their contributions remains
significant, and their achievements within
the motorcycle industry are legendary.”

Gunnar
Lindstrom
Husky Historian
Scott Wallenberg Collection PHOTO
A
rich heritage like that of Husqvarna Motorcycles isn’t
an easy one to chronicle in its entirety, but former racer
Gunnar Lindstrom managed to do it in the pages of
his full-color hardbound book Husqvarna Success. The Swedish
born racer played an integral role in developing Husky off-road
motorcycles, and also helped bring the marque to the United
States in the 1960s, and now, following the release of his book,
Gunnar has been named the Official Historian of Husqvarna
Motorcycles.
Lindstrom was on hand at the 2013 AMA Vintage Motorcycle
Days to meet and greet fans, where we caught up with him for
quick Q&A. Gunnar talked about what he’s up to these days,
how he came to be Husqvarna’s official historian, and the possible
need to write a new chapter of Husqvarna Success!
What are you up to lately?
After I retired from Honda a few years ago I’ve been
working a little bit with my kids and their motorbikes and
with some of my own projects. I’m restoring a bike for my
son that he wants to use for The Day In The Dirt, which is
a very famous event in California. I’m also doing a little bit
of charity work and a little bit of consulting here and there.
Do you still ride?
Not at all. I don’t ride. I got a little racecar and I feel better
now with four wheels than with two at my age. I haven’t
ridden seriously for 20, 30 years. But I’ve ridden several
times in the mountains, in the desert and so on. But not
with any serious intent.
But your life still revolves around motorcycles.
Very much so. I have a couple of projects. I’m restoring a
bike for my son that he wants to use for Day In The Dirt,
which is a very famous event in California.
Tell me about becoming the official Husqvarna historian.
Well, actually it started with the book, obviously, and the
book started with the fact that Torsten (Hallman) and I
had a meeting and said, ‘Nobody has really written down
all these things.’ So we started working on it. Torsten was
going to do the European side and I was going to do the
U.S. side and then Torsten decided it was too much work
for him and he had to slow down and be a little more
careful about his health. So I took over the whole project
and it became much bigger at that point [laughs].
Husqvarna & Lettenbichler
Podium At RED BULL Romaniacs
Husqvarna’s extreme enduro specialist Andreas “Letti”
Lettenbichler scored a superb third place finish at the
10th running of the Red Bull Romaniacs. Aboard a
factory Husqvarna WR300, Letti took on five days of
grueling competition in the shadow of Dracula’s castle
in Sibiu, Romania. In an outstanding performance,
Letti was able to combine his riding skill and navigating
prowess in order to conquer the Carpathian Mountains.
“Day one was, as always, a killer track,” Andreas
commented, “technically demanding and exhausting!
Day two was pretty fast – nothing too difficult but
this is ‘Romaniacs’ and nothing is easy out here. Day
three turned out to be a tough day, too, but I tried to
ride fast but intelligent at the same time to secure a
podium finish.
“I’m really happy and satisfied having secured
another podium result after Erzberg,” Letti concluded.
Lettenbichler takes on his next extreme enduro
challenge at the Red Bull Sea To Sky in Turkey.

Malcolm!
An Autobiography
What would a legacy be without its legends?
Malcolm Smith, the man who helped put the Husqvarna
brand on the map in America, tells his story… finally!
His book Malcolm! An Autobiography is set to release
in December 2013.
“It’s been a long time
coming, but it’s finally
time to do it,” Malcolm
said. “The timing seems
right, too. I just turned
72, I’m slowing down a
little, I’m spending more
time with my family and
I’ve got more perspective
than ever… so here
we go!”
Malcolm! An Autobiography is currently available
for preorder at www.TheMalcolmBook.com. Orders
placed now will also receive a special bonus feature:
Malcolm’s autograph! For more info on the largeformat, hardbound coffee-table book, visit

"Scrambling,” as it was called
back in 1950s, was the earliest
form of modern motocross.
SWEDISH CHAMP COMES TO AMERICA
Torsten Hallman first appeared in the
VOICES section in the November 10, 1966
edition of Cycle News.
TORSTEN HALLMAN RIDING SCHOOL
The Swede extended his U.S. stay another
month by offering motocross riding
schools in Riverside, CA.
MR. MOTO-CROSS BOOK
With the release of his book in the late 1960s,
Torsten further cemented himself as the
hands-down authority on motocross.

The new style of racing caught fire in
Europe, but it wasn’t until the 1960s
that Americans began taking notice
of the sport. By this time, American
riders were behind the curve, as the
Europeans had been “scrambling”
for many years, but that all began to
change when a man named Torsten
Hallman crossed the pond to America
in 1966.
The Swedish world champion
came to California at the invitation
of Edison Dye, the man who had
hopes of importing Husqvarna
motorcycles in the United States.
During his one-month stay, Torsten
went on a nationwide win-streak that
caught the attention of motorcyclists
everywhere, and set a new standard
for motocross racing.
Hallman went on to found Hallman
Racing and eventually Torsten
Hallman Original Racewear (THOR).
Torsten still lives in his home country
of Sweden, but during a rare trip
to Southern California, we got the
chance to sit down with the MX icon
for a chat about Husqvarna – a brand
he admits he will always feel attached
to. Hallman also recalled the 1966 trip
to California that started it all, his first
time riding a Husqvarna motorcycle,
and his thoughts on the Husky’s new
beginning with Pierer Industry.
Tell us about the first
time you ever rode a
Husqvarna.
This must be when I
was 11, 12 years old. It
was like a road bike
– an old road bike. It
was 118cc. It was a very
popular bike after the
Second World War.
They made thousands
of these small bikes.
That was the first time.
When I rode a more
sophisticated bike, it
was called a Silverpilen.
This was 1955. And that
was a bike I started to
race on. That was the
start of it.
What was that
bike like?
It was a street legal
bike. Then we had
to rebuild it to do the
races. We changed the
tires to motocross tires.
Changed handlebars,
changed several things
on the bike.
Husqvarna is credited
with being the
originators of dedicated
off-road bikes. What
was it that inspired
the company to start
making this style of
motorcycles?
It was several people
within the organization
of Husqvarna who
were very interested
in motocross racing,
or motorcycle racing,
so to speak. Without
these people like Ruben
Helmin and Bror
Jauren and Bengt Olof
Gustafsson… They
were working on free
time to make things
happen with racing
bikes. So without them
there wouldn’t be any
motocross bikes built. In
fact, 1961 they told me,
because I was already
a factory bike [racer]
from ’57, they told me,
‘You have to look for
another brand, because
we will not make any
more motorcycles.’ So
I was actually racing
one race for English
Greeves. But in the late
1961 I got a call from
one of these engineers
– his name was Ruben
Helmin – and he said,
‘We managed to squeeze
some money out of the
chainsaw division so we
can make a new engine
for next year. Would
you like to ride it?’ I
trusted him so I said,
‘Of course, I’d like to
make a new four-speed
engine, etc.’
From the beginning we
were not so successful,
but later in the year, it
happened as I started to
beat Jeff Smith on the
BSA. And it turned out
[he was currently] the
world champion. And
because I became the
world champion, the big
bosses at the Husqvarna
factory noticed that
they can make a good
motorcycle [laughs] very
competitive. So this is
why they decide to make
100 copies of my bike for
the 1963 season. So this
was the first production
run of a motocross bike.
When did you first
meet Edison Dye?
In 1966. He talked to
the factory about me
coming over to the
United States.
So I hadn’t met him
until I got to the San
Diego Airport.
What was your first
impression of America?
They couldn’t land
in San Diego airport
so I was transferred
to Miramar Airport,
which was a military
port (Miramar Naval
Air Station, aka ‘Top
Gun School’ - Editor).
I didn’t know I was
redirected to military
port so when I stepped
out of the plane there
was a big line of soldiers
on both sides of us
when we walked out
of the plane. I said,
‘S&%#!’ You know, ‘I
don’t like Russia but this
is worse than Russia!’
With all these police
and military standing
while we’re coming out.
‘This is horrible!’ Then
I found out it was a
military base so then I
understood it.
Was coming to America
for the first time a leap
of faith?
Yes, but I trusted Edison
Dye and the Husqvarna
people. I was supposed
to be here for one month
to race in whatever he
asked me to race, on the
250 Husqvarna or the
360 Husqvarna. And I
wanted to see the United
States so for me it was
perfect. I was more than
willing to come here.
And I got $1000 for one
month’s work. I couldn’t
say no to that.
Edison kept you very
busy during your stay.
Talk about the races
you did.
First race was an
enduro. It was way up
in Northern California.
Before 1966, “motocross” and “Husqvarna” were
Photos: Resmarket.com
The next one was a
desert race and it went
on like this. Then there
was one race up in
Canada on ice. So it was
many, many different
races. But at that time,
I was world champion
and I was much more
trained [than] the
competition here in
the United States. So I
entered in 23 different
races and I won all
these races in different
categories, also. So this
meant a lot that the
European standard of
racing – like the bike –
was much higher than in
the states. They changed
this quickly [laughs]. It
didn’t take long.
What was your first
impression of American
riders? The sport was
young; they still had a
lot to learn, but what
did you think?
"They had a lot to learn!
[laughs] My work for
Edison was over after
the first month but when
it was over I preferred
to stay a little bit longer
in the States.
So this was why I
arranged the first
motocross schools. I
made an ad in Cycle
News and said, ‘Please
send $40 to enter a
motocross school.’ So
I had several of these
motocross schools and
could stay for another
month so I could make
a living off the schools
and could stay. It was
quite good.
What was the first thing
you noticed American
riders needed to learn?
wheel when they came
to a ditch. Then you
know what happens with
the rear wheel. It came
just like this! This was
absolutely the first thing
I had to learn. They just
went straight! [laughs]
I remember this real
good… real good.
When you were first
here, a lot of the
prominent American
riders were watching,
and studying you, like
Malcolm Smith.
Yes. I rode together with
Malcolm a lot.
Along with Malcolm
were there other riders
that you thought were
promising?
Dick Mann. Dick Mann
was also a good rider.
And Preston Petty. They
rode good, but still they
were, I would say, expert
to a novice from the
difference from me and
them anyway.
There is a lot
currently going on
with Husqvarna. Do
you still feel a special
attachment to the
brand?
Yes, sure.
One of the first major
announcements made
under Pierer Industry is
reuniting Husaberg and
Husqvarna. What are
your thoughts on that?
I think it’s good. I think
they can have many
advantages working
together. I see a good
future for Husqvarna.
Definitely.
Just going over a small
ditch. They rode straight
into the ditch. [laughs]
They didn’t lift the front
just interesting words. That changed when Torsten Hallman and his motorcycle arrived in America.
What The Editors
Are Saying
RacerXonline.com - Racer X Films
“The power on this [CR144] really caught me off guard; it
was definitely a whole lot stronger than what I thought it was
going to be. Pro Circuit did the
mods on it and this Husky comes
with a 144 kit. Bolted this thing
on and I had no problem at all
making it over all the jumps.
And Pala, I think, has some of
the biggest jumps in So Cal.
I could get into a soft berm
and still had no problem
with this thing pulling me
around the track.”
Motocross Action – July 2013
“Husqvarna is suddenly all over the news. Over the winter,
they opened up some eyes with their amazingly fast Paris-Dakar
bikes. Their World Enduro team was impressive in the 2012
Championships, and they sponsored the 125 Pro race at the
World Two-Stroke Championships-and won.”
Dirt Bike – August 2013
“One of the things that makes the Terra so attractive is the price.
The good news is that the price has dropped even lower. Husqvarna is
now selling the machine for $5999, which makes it the most incredible
value on wheels.”

TC250R and the
T
here’s a lot to be said for multi-purpose utility, and dirt bikes are no
exception! Sure we want a full-fledged motocross bike when we step
out onto the track, and a dedicated woods weapon when we take to the
single track. But not many of us have the luxury of owning a dedicated
motocross bike and an off-road bike. The rest of us have to find one
machine that can satisfy the best of both worlds, and in this case, we’d
have to argue that the crossover potential of the Husqvarna TC250R is
best in its class.
The handling prowess of the Husqvarna TC250R is superb, as nearly any
motocross publication could verify, and that agility translates incredibly
well to off-road conditions. Tight single-track is the TC250R’s forte,
and whether you’re out west or back east you’ll be flicking it down the
trail with ease. The chromoly frame and KYB suspension team up for an
exceptionally forgiving ride, and you can’t settle for less when it comes
to handling rough chatter at speed. Aside from braking bumps or square
edges, it could be rocks, roots, logs or any other element of nature that
get your knobbies dancing on the trail. An overly rigid chassis can get
you into trouble, but the TC250R has the right balance and structure to
move with you.
It’s all about balance when it comes to the power of the 249cc four-stroke
engine, as well. It’s a balance between traction and snap – and Husqvarna
strikes just the right chord with the TC250R’s power delivery. Roll it
X
Factor
on for controlled ground-gripping proficiency, or work the Brembo
hydraulic clutch to burst out of turns moto-style.
Of course the proof is in the pudding, as they say. And by pudding, we
mean the podium. Andrew DeLong’s 2012 race results say it all. He made
history in the GNCC (Grand National Cross Country) Series aboard his
factory Husqvarna TC250R last year by not only winning the XC2 class
but finishing on the overall podium (from a second-row start) not once,
but twice in the season.
Andrew DeLong’s GNCC weapon of choice was also the preference of
International Six Day Enduro veteran Fred Hoess. “I like the way the
Red Head works,” Hoess told us after competing in Saxony, Germany
aboard the TC250R. “The Del West valves are the best titanium valves
you can get. And for me, I actually like the simplicity of not having an
electric start.”
A dedicated motocrosser the TC250R may be, but GNCC trophies and
an ISDE gold medal are testament to its crossover abilities. Whether it’s
on a track, at a GP, in an enduro or deep in the woods, you can be sure
the mighty TC will have you charging toward the checkers!

Release the hounds!
W
ould you be surprised to know that Vintage Motorcycle Days isn’t just for vintage bikes? Neither is the current
Husqvarna Motorcycles brand just about the future. We are proud to celebrate the past as we stand at the
brink of an exciting new chapter for the Husqvarna brand, and we're prouder yet to celebrate that past with off-road icon
Dick Burleson.
The eight-time AMA National Enduro Champion was pleased to preside over the 2013 event, and relive Husky's glory
days by pulling his 1978 Husqvarna out of the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame museum and bringing it to Lexington, Ohio.
“King Richard” was an image of nostalgia as he turned a lap on the motocross & hare scrambles track at Mid-Ohio Sports
Car Course aboard his former ISDT machine, where crowds of enthusiasts gave him the “rock star” treatment. Burleson
was kept plenty busy throughout the three-day weekend, but we were fortunate enough to catch up with the grand marshal
to hear his thoughts on VMD, what he hopes to see from Husqvarna in the future, and how he has managed to stay so
blazing fast 30 years after retiring from professional racing!
Tell us what you’re up to these days.
I’ve been with the Moose Racing program that’s
under Parts Unlimited since 1993. I helped get
it going and I’m still doing that. My primary job
is a combination of promotional events – having
a semi, product display and stuff to hand out at
events – and then other product development
stuff. Most of the time I have test products
on my motorcycle when I ride. I rarely ride
without something I’m testing because I’m the
main guy that rides in our group. I also work
with the sales staff a little. It’s a wide range of
responsibilities.
How did you like being Grand Marshal
of AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days?
VMD had the combination of coming back
around to the Husqvarna brand, which was fun,
getting together with Gunnar and Malcolm and
Mike Melton and Terry Cunningham. That was
fun. And then the whole grand marshal thing
is instant rock star, almost. It was awesome!
Everywhere you go people want autographs
and it’s pretty cool. It definitely makes you feel
like you have something back on the industry at
some stage in the game.
What does it mean to you to relive
your glory days with Husqvarna?
Well, I’ve been away from it since 1989. VMD
was kind of my first revisiting, so to say, of the
Husqvarna brand and it was part of that whole
‘Old things are new again,’ you know? I actually
dug out my old ’78 ISDT bike. It’s the same one
I rode in Sweden; it’s still got the numbers and
it’s still sealed. A couple weeks ago I fiddled
around and got it fired up. It started right up no
problem after I cleared out the carburetor so I
took it down to Mid-Ohio. I rode it on the parade
lap on Friday when the track was dry. But once
the thunder and lightning and rain came I didn’t
unload it out of the truck again because it’s a
historical bike. I didn’t want to wreck it.
You’re not only still riding, but you’re
still incredibly fast! How have you
managed to stay at such a high level?
I never stopped riding. I stopped racing for
a while after I retired, just because people
would still expect me to win, but I never
really stopped. I continued my evolution with
motorcycles. It’s interesting that a lot of those
guys love riding that old stuff because they
never had to race it! I’m not that interested
in riding old bikes. I wanna ride new bikes. So
on one hand the vintage thing isn’t my cup
of tea. But the event itself was great. Good
turnout, lots of enthusiasm, all kinds of crazy
motorcycles. It was really, really fun looking
around the swap meet. Some of this stuff
looked like it was dragged out of a swamp, and
then there’s the occasional gem you see. It was
really fun.
What are your thoughts on the new
ownership of Husqvarna and the next
chapter of the brand under Pierer
Industry?
I think these guys have a really good idea of
where they want to take it so I’m optimistic for
them. You can’t not be (optimistic) when you
look at what they did with KTM.
You were at the forefront of Husky’s
racing efforts during the brand’s
golden age; having seen the brand at
its best, what are your hopes for the
future of Husqvarna?
We were very innovative at the time. Husqvarna
was more or less the first off-road two-stroke
really capable race bike. The first really effective
commercially available water-cooled four-stroke
motorcycle was a Husky 510. And that’s still
a pretty good motor today – as far as how it
runs. There was innovation there was then we
did the automatic, which had some real value.
It had some technical flaws, but innovation
was going some places and that’s what I hope
happens in the future – that it gets back to
its roots, which is high quality product that’s
leading the way in innovation. It’s going to be
real interesting to see.

Catching up with Terry Cunningham
I work in the boating industry for a company called Skier’s
Choice. We make Supra and Moomba boats. I actually just
started with them about a year ago. I previously had worked
for MasterCraft boat company for 17 years. I live in East
Tennessee, just south of Knoxville. We’ve been there about
17 years. My wife Trina and I have four daughters and
three grandchildren.
Do you still ride?
Yes, I do. As a matter of fact I raced here yesterday. I raced
both the vintage and the post vintage classes. I’ve been riding
a 1983 430 Husqvarna WR model in the 50+ Post Vintage
class, which I won.
This is a very exciting year for Husqvarna. Give me
your thoughts on the new chapter of the company.
I think it’s a very good thing for Husqvarna, not that I had
anything against the previous owners such as Cagiva of Italy
and BMW. But John Penton and I were just talking about how
now that Husqvarna is back in what I call the hands of true
off-road motorcycle industry people, such as KTM, I think
you’ll see the brand maybe make a good comeback, which
I would love to see because I’m very partial to Husqvarna.
They blessed me so much over the years. I was telling my
wife, when I put this Husky shirt on yesterday, it was a proud
moment for me. They’ve given me everything – my four
national titles and everything.
Lexington, Ohio's Mid-Ohio facility is an outstanding

Where are they now?
Winner.
Catching up with John Penton
“I’m retired and living in Northern Ohio. I work in my woods and on my farm and I’m
in the process of going back and forth to Europe. They’re trying to make a movie of
me. I just have a real good life; I’ve got 13 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren
and next month I’ll be 88 years old! [laughs]”
Do you still ride?
No. I haven’t for [a long time.] Once in a while I get on a bike, but I haven’t ridden
for 15 years. I have too many artificial parts in me.
The Cycle News Timeline was a popular
focal point throughout the weekend.

Catching up with Mike Melton
Mike Melton shares a few
fond memories with friend and
former Husqvarna team mate
Mark Hyde.
“After my racing career kind of crumbled I moved back to Georgia. I built a
small log home down in the woods near Buena Vista. I have two kids, Tucker
(22) and Cheyenne (13). For 18 years now I’ve been working at Baby’s
Dream Furniture as Plant Manager. I have put on a few Hare Scrambles on
my property over the years. I still attend some of the races to catch up with
old friends and I still keep up with the motorcycle scene every day.”
Do you still ride?
I haven’t done any serious riding since 2005 when I rode the SETRA Enduro
Series and won the overall in the A class. I very seldom ride anymore but
I have a nine-mile trail on my property that my friends love to come down
and practice on. I make a few laps on occasion. I spend most of my free
time riding bicycles. I make a few road races and MTB races a year, but my
job keeps me busy, traveling a couple times each year to furniture shows in
Louisville, Kentucky and Las Vegas, Nevada.
