I recently had a chance to tour the factory museum in Sweden. Man, these guys made everything. Started off making firearms around 300 years ago. Have since made bicycles, motorcycles, microwaves, stoves, refridgerators, sewing machings, and a ton of other stuff. It was pretty cool. Sorry I don't have more pics, batteries died in the camera. :bang:

And in the motorcycle room they had a flat screen playing "On Any Sunday". I didn't want to leave. :laugh:


Whoops, guess I can't post pictures here. But click the links and you'll get there. Sorry.

That's too cool. I wish I had a photo of the long-travel Husqvarna factory toilet seat that Pete had in the crapper at his Maico/Penton/CZ shop. That thing was so comfy it would make your azz laugh.

Seriously though, those are some cool photos. :)

And I bet with those solid-rubber wagon tires and spring-only suspension it carves carners like a dream. :) It is a cool looking bike though. They only ever made that one.

(P.S. need a 70's 250 or larger CR or WR tank for a project bike) :(
