Hi all,
just uploaded some pics of my Suzaberg (Suzuki frame, Husaberg engine) project, so thought I should present myself a bit.
I've been on the forum for many years but not registered until now, so here goes:
Born and raised in Sweden but live in the UK since 5 years.
Started motocrossing on a XR75 6 years old and raced 80-125cc until I did my national service.
In 1988 (I think) my dad came home and said that he and his mates had gone together and should buy stock in this new company called Husaberg to help funding/starting it and did i want to invest my savings in it? Only 12 years old at the time I invested all I got.
It went bust some year later but was reformed with new money, luckily they won the world title in their first year so investors were not too shy with money on the second start. My money was forever lost however.
Sometime in the early nineties I did a support race for the Swedish 4-stroke champs on the 125cc. Hearing a mx start with 30 big 4-strokes planted a seed in me, it was a awesome sound! Mainly Husqvarnas and Husabergs etc back then, heavy things.
In -96, after my national service, I gave up racing and traded the 125 for a -95 FC600. Since, I've just been having fun on my 4-strokes. And always owned at least one Husaberg.
An example with me and my mate:
