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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Some cool vintage stuff from the 1983 ISDE in Wales. (Yes I know it says 1982 but…..)

All in Welsh, but I imagine it talks about the 1982 ISDE and the cheatin’ a$$ Commie Czech Team and host judges and the shi@@y Jawas (how the hell can you win on a Jawa?), The financial troubles leading to the demise of Maico . And a weird cartoon that shows where and how bikes may go in the future…..more power, lighter, better suspension…….etc.

Starts with 1983 USA team prepping their mint new 84 Huskys. Cunningham, Stacy etc. Good shots for the vintage restorer. Got to love the old Husky gear. Even coveralls for mud/testing/mechanics………way cool.

Lots of “in action” track stuff. Stacy on a 84 WR500 sounds nice. Would love to hear from anyone who rode in this 6 days.
