    Does anyone have any pics or resources to find any of the early 80's ISDE Huskys? I'm interested in finding out what models they rode and how they differed from the stock models. I'm mostly interested in the 81 ISDE as my bike project is an 82.

    Did they ride WRs? Stock? Differences?

    Thanks for any help

    1982 "dream Team" baby!

    Ed Lojak, Terry Cunningham, Mark Hyde, Scot Harden, Mike Melton and Wally Wilson.
    All on 83 Huskys ranging from 123, 175, 250 and 430.
    Toughest ISDE around. Bad weather, shitty commie Judges, and the whole shebang had the USA finish in 2nd (ripoff that is a sore spot amongst many!...SCot would certainly agree. Dwight Rudder also soldiered on despite a mangled knee on a 125. Cool to see some of them frequent here. The best ever picture of my memory of the Husky Glory days is on the bottom left of page 28. I remmeber as a teenager having that photo (huge) on by Bed room door. Wish I could find it again .

    Cool stuff of the flying milkwagon 1983 models

    I believe they where given new all stock 83 bikes for the 82 event. I have a 83 250WR "milk truck" and can relate to this.
