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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So I was driving on a back road and saw this bike sitting in the weeds with a for sale sign on it Turned around went back. A guy came out with a bud in his hand and started to tell me about the bike he said it was made in Germany. I told him it was made in Sweden he said I know what i am talking about. he said he had the bike for 10 years and it had been in his outbuilding. and when he got it. it was not getting fire so it just stayed in the building. he said he was going to try and fix if he could find a new stator he said it was bad. But the city had just annexed the property he owned and fined him for having too much junk. and he needed money to pay a fine he wonted 300 for the bike I offered him 200 and he took it I loaded the bike up and took it home. Later in the week I got to looking at the bike and someone had put a pvl ignition in and it was upside down. I took it out cleaned it put it back in put gas in it started on the 3rd kick.:banana:

you lucky lucky lucky LUCKY basket, what a win!

I saw an add for a pair of weber carbys years ago and went around to find this total dipstick who had probably knicked them but he had no idea what they were.

I bought them for 50 bucks and unloaded them for 400 an hour later. my best score...:( doesn't match a 430 for 200 bucks!!!

the guys brother rang me later and said "he had an accident and was concussed can we have them back??"

I said"what carby's? "
