Is looking things up OK in the rules now?
Didn't have to look it up, I just know you ;) You only consider two motorsports real, rally and motorcross, and rally didn't have a world champion before 1973. So a bike manufacturer that also makes other stuff, probably from Sweden since you lived there for a while, well that could only be Husqvarna.Quote:

Actually Motor Division ----which was bikes and chainsaws and lawnmowers in 1976 was 3% of company sales.
they made about 6500 bikes in '76
And "Vappe" ("vapenfabrik" ) was around 49 largest Swedish Company in terms of turnover,
So motorsports was part of a household products company (sewing machines, stoves, waffel irons, etc) that also made bikes.
And I lived there for around 7 years--quite a while.
So you got the bike, what's the name of the TOWN
Hey guys! Time to wake up!
Sorry, but I’m not familiar with Swedish towns.
I spent a day in Stockholm once… 20 years ago :dozey:
I think this thread should be resuscitated...
Since none of us has plans to travel to Sweden and find that bloody town then please tell us its name and ask a new Q.
OK. Time to bring this thread back.
Remember, this forum is Global in nature. As such, questions should be rather more inclusive than, say, naming a village that may or may not have appeared in a Borat movie.
So in the spirit of Earth-Wide Geography, here's a question that you might answer simply by studying that spinning globe in the study....
By the shortest route, which 2 World Capitals are the farthest apart? (ie virtually at opposite ends of the Earth)
gee boys, a motosport forum, a fantastic record at the highest levels for decades and nobody can look and find Huskvarna?
Sorry.
