I rode Harescrambles and Enduros for 35+ years I wish my son had been into it as it was a great family sport.

Back in the day Husqvarna was the Cadillac motocross bikes a funnier than a vacuum cleaner company could make such a quality bike. I remember namesBack in the day Husqvarna was the Cadillac motocross bikes a funnier than a vacuum cleaner company could make such a quality bike. I remember names Torsten Hallman Joel Robert and of course Roger DeCoster. I started out riding Greaves for a guy named Gary Bailey and switch the Bultaco Then CZ and finally Suzukis. It was a short span I kept finding the snow fans. Lol
