    Welcome Palmer, it's ok, I've got 2 Hondas in the garage at the moment keeping the Husky company.

    born again Husky-holic

    Hi,
    I thought I had recovered, but fell once again to the allure of Husqvarna.
    Recently purchased and ride an '08 TE510. I have previously owned and raced new Sveedish Huskys: 1975 CR250 and 1977 CR390, in SRAC moto-x (Colorado). Yes I was younger then, and I only wished I still had both bikes!

    Hey ya'll. I live in Colorado and am new to huskies, just purchased a very nice '06 TE610 back in March and been riding the hell out of it. I also have a set of SUMO wheels for it but they are up for sale now since I like more off road and away from cars.. :)

    Look at our own special space here isolated from all the riff raff and distractions...how civilized. Thanks for creating this coffee.

    I've got the 07 TE250 with a 300 kit in it.

    Hello

    Just want to say Hi to all Husky friands.
    I just became a "member" of this fantastic Husky page. I started to work as an R&D engineer at the Husqvarna factory in early 70'th. Won the US 125 GP in Saint Louis 1973,( I think it was). Raced the US Nationals in MX a few years + a Baja 500 win.
    I was quite involved in everything regarding Husky's from 1970 to 1980.I have have some part and books laying around, let me know what you need. Maybe I can help you:)

    Arne I've been thinking about what to say to you... I just cannot come up with anything.... so I'll just start typing...

    Thank you ever so much for joining this site, it means a lot to me. Hope you comeback to keep us in line at least occasionally. Pretty awesome talking to the another ex-R&D engineer, difference is I never worked in the motorcycle industry... I do however know that an R&D engineer has a tremendous amount of input on the end product, of course they are always being held back by minor things like "reality" & the laws of physics.

    Also thank you for your kind offer about some books. I'm getting the impression you understate things so you may have some really good stuff... Hopefully "HuskyT" our hands on vintage enthusiast will see your kind offer and send a message your way.

    Please come back when you can Arne. :)

    He 'da MAN

    Yeah - he "understates"......at the time HVA, AB sold off motorcycle production and a brand license to Cagiva, he was the president of Husqvarna USA. Returned to Sweden where he subsequently took up residence as the VP, Marketing for Highland Motors AB [Now Highland Group, AB], also home to a couple other Husky/Husaberg veterans. Is the fount of knowlege for all things Husky from the late 50's to '80 or so.

    Welcome Sierra NV Pale Ale, Seahorse, and honard!


    I suppose Stapleking is welcome too.... LOL.


    Thanks for joining up, I've got plans for this site and think it should work really well for archiving the information - all kinds of good information, and I'm going to add my own stuff as well.


    There are some really really great forums out there but the really good information gets buried under all the newer posts - so it's a bit hard to find.

    Honard - did you get the welcome PM with a link to this thread?

    My name is Mike and I own a 07 TE450.

    Reason is I didn't want a XR650 and that was the only option in 9/06, nothing else out there was decent (light weight) to own if I wanted to street it and go OR. KTM wasn't street legal until 07...

    Thanks Coffee

    Welcome Riksha, photoguy_43420, and marks139.

    That is the same line of reasoning for getting my TE250.
