• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Love the pictures, specially the one with "Cookie" the Wonder Dog. I believe the gentlemans' name was John McGowan, or similar. I'm also sure the memories he has with his dog are worth more than any trophy ever won!
 
She is a runner!

Upgrades for this year include 74-76 forks massaged by Vintage Husky, Mikuni carb, and late model Husqvarna black wheels!

Kind of gotten away from the "restoration" and more along the lines of "Racestoration"

Green flag drops in a few weeks.

For anyone interested, the Husky is number 19, and our two other bikes are #9 (1998 KX250 in the 2-stroke only class) and #99 (2014 KTM 500) in the modern open class.

Yeah Racestoration, I love it! Excellent looking 400. You can be assured I'll be watching for updates. Best of luck Rob.
