Gentlemen,
After watching our good friend Ed Sims race his 35 year old Husqvarna motocross bike (and annihilate his competitors) at a Vintage MX race here in Arizona a few months ago I was filled with desire. I had a 1972 Husky 450CR in high school and rode the snot out of it on weekends as well as a few desert races. It was a leftover bike that my local dealer wanted to get rid of and I could afford it so that's what I bought. But the bike I REALLY wanted was the 1973 6-speed 250WR with a red gas tank that looked just like Steve McQueen's 1970 400 and 250 Cross Husky's in the film "On Any Sunday". Hey, better late than never. I still ride in the desert pretty often and I miss the smell of 2-stroke vegetable oil.
So in an attempt to recapture a small measure of my long departed youth I contacted Husky Restorations in New York where a talented Husqvarna expert rebuilds vintage bikes into works of art. My 250WR should be finished in a couple more months. The top pictures are photos of my bikes parts being restored and the bottom photos are of the last 250WR completed by Husky Restorations (what my finished bike will look like). I cant wait!! :banana
