Wanted- 1992' cessnock six day riders # list
« on: January 16, 2015, 05:13:52 pm »
  I have an 88' Husky wr430 that was apparently used in the the cessnock six day by some swedish guy ,the major parts are marked with yellow dab of paint and the number 560. Hoping someone would have a riders list/numbers or a link so i can maybe fill in the jigsaw - cheers  :)

Hi,
Sorry to disappoint you,but after looking through my records I found that there were only 409 entrants in the 92 ISDE.It would also be unlikely that a Swedish rider would be riding a four year old bike.
What I did find however was that in 1990 at the A4DE in Cessnock bike number 560 (Husky)  Class J Clubman over 200cc was ridden by David Johnston from Weston in the A.C.T.

   Thanks for checking it out moto !   i thought the same with the bike being a few years old at the time' thought maybe it could of been that the bike being the last of the swedish made wr430 may of been the reason for using it - not to mention it being a great ride  ;)doesnt bother me either way just wanted to see if there was any substance in the story -cheers

It Could well be one of the bikes the 3 Swedish riders used at the 88 A4DE.  I have a program somewhere.  560 sounds high and I seem to remember the internationals had different numbers, as in lower?

Just checked the program- the only Swedish guy on a husky was Gustavsson and he's listed as being on a 510.

I did see a familiar name as number 117 NSR

I was at the 88 A4DE and saw Thomas Gustavsson ride his air cooled?510,he was awsome to watch in the final moto,absolutely destroyed his competitors.He designed the bike and rode it like he stole it.
It was virtually the beginning of the modern four stoke era and soon to become Husaberg.
