Hello, I just read AMA vintage days in Ohio is Honoring Husky racers & how Husqvarna helped shape offroad racing in the USA. There is no word on the Marque of the year yet. I know Husqvarna was the marque bike a few years back but I would double dip & bring MY Husky this time! I will attempt to add a link to the press release on this from AMA. http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com...es_the_champions_and_riders_of_Husqvarna.aspx
I go every year....love it...I recommend wareing our café husky shirts while there To recognize fellow members.
Dean, I was there in 2009 too, in fact i think we meet while watching the Vintage MX races, you (someone?) gave me some CafeHusky stickers. I'd agree I'd highly recommend too.. Between Unadilla, Mid Ohio & the West Coast Reunion, some of the Legends riders are doing some travelling... Husky John
I believe we did meet! Though sadly I met sooo many people I do not specifically remember what you look like. And I've got a hunch some of these events are carefully coordinated for those Legends schedule.

There is still no word on the feature Margue. On their website it still says coming soon. I emailed them & they said it'll be on their website when they decide. I think they better hurry up so people can prepare their appropriate bikes for the event. (it's true...some people have bikes other than their huskies)
Wow, could have Husqvarna originally intended to contribute significant $? Then the sale of the company happened?
I doubt it. I just think The past few years at Vintage days has been a rebuilding process of the event. It has been bigger & better than the most recent years. Hopefully They will get it together soon. I'm still going either way....
