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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1987 250WR one man's junk or now dualing banjo's

Nice to see you hanging onto WRs at this point. There is a lot to be said for riding off road away from a MX track

Jim, yeap my track record for keep WR's hasn't been good.
Actually i should really thank, Joe, Norm & Drew at the 2013 Husky Gathering :applause: , for rekindling my interest back in the off road riding again :thumbsup:

I also meet my new local woods riding buddy Kevin on this forum :D
 
the silencer extension looks homemade added to the stock sparky but the front fender looks a bit like my acerbis "baja" unit with the vent in the back. nice find! the 250s are hard to find, 87 430s are quite plentiful for some reason tho.
 
Like I mentioned , my track record for keeping woods bikes hasn't been good. I've had a pair of 82 250WR's (Father & Son bikes), a 83 430WR all recently & let them all go, maybe a little to quickly.

And yeap the fender says Acerbis

Those's 82's (father & son) where Dick Burleson replica's ?
riding in the woods is just a soo "natural" feeling, to me the best type of riding
Like they said @ the end of On Any Sunday: just going out riding/horsing around with your friends is the best type of riding

Yeap Dick Burleson replica's, those 2 where a tough for me to sell, but house repairs drove the sale.

I stopped wood riding cause i ran out of people to ride with, but things have changes now :banana:
 
That prompted my 'retirement' in off road in 1984. I rode alone for a couple years but a minor crash on my 78 390ACC brought home to me the dangerous side of riding alone. This was also before cell phones became prevalent. That crash in itself was of no consequence as the rear wheel slid out as I banked a turn on a wet wood bridge. I simply bailed off and rolled over the ground letting my Jofa shoulder pads take the impacts.
