The following photos are from the 1974 and 1975 Grand Prix season of the Husqvarna factory team traveling through Scandinavia. It was not uncommon to just pull over, rebuild and test the bike. Many teams traveled together especially behind the Iron Curtain. It's photos like these that leave one longing for the old days. Can you name any of these riders and mechanics? Answers will be posted soon. Photos are from the Hakan Andersson archive.
