Vintage Husqvarna Desert Racers

Lace-up leather boots from Fedco.

Evo was a good time in desert racing, too

I remember when I weighed 145# and rode like not quite like that! Hahahah!! Great shot!!

Bonus points for naming the rider.

Wow!! 13 Wins!! Awesome.

Yup, LR has an excellent race record. Pretty cool that he raced a Husky.

During the vintage era, circa 1966 forward, Edison Dye was working in the US to establish Husqvarna as a competitive machine. He was lucky to have JN Roberts on board the Swedish iron.

I've often wondered where the idea of using a football helmet guard came from.
