• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 the new journal says all FE's are CA green sticker compliant. Does that mean you can make them street legal?

Not in California, you can't. That window of opportunity closed a long time ago.

Why do you have to always be so sensible and level headed? :D

Seriously, Raj. Knock it off, will ya? :naughty:

:D

I know Pierer is trying to promote the brand, and is leaning heavily on the great heritage and history that the Husqvarna name provides. The only problem with that is it is Husqvarna in name only now, no vestige of that Swedish ...or Italian, for that matter...history exists anymore. Sure, there is a roundabout link to the Swedish days via the Husaberg blood, but even that was watered down considerably by KTM long before The Husqvarna graphics were attached to it.

I don't know...I'm just glad I already have a garage full of Husqvarnas that I love.
I hope the brand survives in more than name only, and I hope there are still some glory days in Husqvarna's future.

Best way to ride a new Husky on the street in CA is to register it in Arizona. Hell, you can register the two strokes there, no problem and without lights...
 
I got mine the other day. I'm really not impressed with the new lineup. I'm just really hoping as they work on the new Husky brand, that they make a bike that I would want to buy. The most important thing here in New Jersey is the ability to buy a model we can plate. In my case a model that I can ride and be comfortable on. I'm not going to buy a bike that is more then I need for the sake of plating it. I'm just so dam happy my bike is only a year old and should last me until this whole merger thing shakes out. :cheers:
 
I really disappointed to see that the American market isn't getting the full line up. I'm glad that I got the journal though. I was so hoping that I could get a FC350 through Canada, but not gonna happen. Looks like no Husky for me.

the Bergs were largely KTMs anyway. Basically changed / upgraded KTMs. So thats what "Husky" is now. Same basic motor and frame and components with some different colors and flavors but 90% KTM. The Huskabergs get the plastic subframe, different suspension (surprisingly all linkage :thumbsup:) and white plastic and husky logos. If you like KTMs these should be fantastic bikes. I'm sure they will be very good and well supported. the downside for me is ALL the Italian design bikes are gone and the 125 and X-lights will be missed. So will the 449 and 650 platform by many. I have yet to ride a bike that handle as good or better than the X-lights.

Sooooo disappointing!
 
Flipping through the journal all I could think of is how much better the old bikes looked. Weird because I loved the husaberg looks.

And hey Norman, how about the most probably quoted:
"It ain't over till it's over":excuseme: Sorta fits regarding the Husky?
I have a couple Yogi cards (at least) in my shoe box of old cards, loved that guy even though he was a Yankee. :D For a catcher he sure could swing the bat.
