• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

It's all you guys fault.......olins

I am in CT and I certainly am not paying excise(property) taxes on any vehicle on my property that does not have a current registration certificate.
 
To ride on your own property in ct the law is it should be registered. To ride at t dam it needs to be registered. Then we pay taxes. Years ago my quad was $125 a year tax. With no place to ride a quad here in ct. we'd go to mass. I registered it in mass too.

Your bikes have to be registered to ride on private property? On your land? That's insane!
 
In NY we pay a yearly registration fee. $17.50/year for a street or ATV registration. You are supposed to register your ATV if you take it off your property. We pay sales tax one time when you first register.

Now there's a progressive government policyfor once!
While we don't pay for use on private property, we are well and truly reamed when we register a vehicle for road use.
My '88 400 would cost around $550AUD ($416USD) per year for the "priveledge" of using it on our roads!

Yet I can drive my farm and estate tractors going mowing on the street with only a slow moving triangle sign on the rear. They don't bother farmers and horses with carriages.

My kids are riding my land unregistered till I'm told.

Years ago my registered dirtbikes for the street was cheap with taxes. Now the vintage bikes are more valuable so I think the taxes went up I'm not sure.

I was a t shirt printer many years ago and I had a senior class T that said "rank has it's privileges" I spelled it like AJCM adn the vice pricipal was furious. Took the shirts back and fixed them...now we have cellphones for spell-check

My bad, my spelling us usually much better than that! Should have posted from my phone.
 
Wow, those fees for riding registration are a bit high there in Australia.
I just renewed my 2015 FE 501 street legal registration last week for the year and it cost me $4.99, that's the Arizona fee. I think the "OHV" Off Highway Vehicle sticker that goes on the license plate costs more than that. Which a renewal hasn't even been sent to me yet for it. Don't really need it anyway.
Taxes are a 1 time fee paid during the first registration.
 
Got the FE501 Registration tags today, $4.99 for a year.
It breaks down like this below:

Veh Lic Tax $3.00
Air Quality $1.50
Postage/Handling $.049

I don't get why the 2015 Husky is cheaper by a long shot than my 2009 BMW G450X which I tagged last month. It was $45.40 for a year.
The BMW break down: ?

Veh Lic Tax $34.41
Registration $9.00
Air Quality $1.50
Postage/Handling $0.49


Both are the same registration types: Full
Same County: Cochise
Same category; H

The BMW is registered as a MC where as the FE501 is tagged as a ATV ?
The BMW I bought in state from the Tucson, AZ. BMW dealer. It was the BMW Dealership Owners personal bike.

The Husky FE 501 I bought out of State from Bills MC Plus in Oregon.
I paid a 1 time state tax of over $650.00 when I first registered it.

Don't know why the older bike is costing me so much more? I guess I'll be paying that tax for years to come.
 
I went to register my '83 husky 250wr with a bill of sale years ago. The state of ct refused the bill of sale as ownership. I told the lady I'll register it out of state. She said once you have it registered out of state bring the paperwork here and will register in ct. yup I'm going to pay for the registration twice. Don't hold your breath.
