I'll always wonder why when stories are done on Tony they never mention his time at Husqvarna. I've met him quite a few times over the years because the shop I work for the owner was good friends with him and help him bikes during this time.
I've never asked him when I've been talking to him and Dave the owner of the shop has passed away. does anybody know why they skip over that chapter of Tony's life ?
I still have one of his Huskey jerseys hanging in my basement.

I believe he wore #111 in 1981 as that honorary number the AMA gives either visiting champions or past champions who didn't compete the previous season.
And here's a little known fact: Tony D. raced Loretta Lynn's in 1987 on a Suzuki in the Vet +30 class and finished second to South Carolina amateur legend Robbie Neeley in all three motos...

this was the day before the funeral we were all hanging out in the shop telling War stories.
I think this is Tony in an old Anaheim Husky jersey but l'm not sure.
Edited, l apologize for any confusion, l was mistaken.
I never seen that single shock setup before that's pretty cool I'll have to send that to a buddy of mine he's really into those vintage Huskies.

Ditto on your statement. Some great experiences on the road with Tony. Traveling around the country from the time he was 14 and a near photographic memory meant he knew of the most random little places. No need for yelp or google maps, if you wanted some real BBQ down south (most missions were food-related), he could take you to the most legit backwoods spot that he'd been to 20 years earlier without even needing a map.
