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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2016 ISDE Spain to include Vintage class

I agree with the blanket year groups and the selection of the start and end year(s)

They will be sticklers for sure. not "looking". They will know and the inspectors check a whole lot. alot more than at a weekend enduro.

as for the zoke conventionals that were all the rage at the time, some purple paint remover and paint them white, add stickers.........voila OEM Husky forks......kinda fat but look the part. I know FIM scrutineering will find them out.

its not the FIM catching it that's the problem
its when you finish ahead of somebody that says you were not in compliance
everybody behind you will be another tech :eek:

no it starts at FIM and they are very thorough at 6 days. very thorough. not like even a natl here in the states.
 
I presume this to mean you can not race a Honda Elsinore with lights on it unless you can produce proof someone did it at the time. This should not be an issue for any Husky since there is very little real difference between the CRs and WRs of any year.
 
Fim now advise there will be no list of bikes , just the characteristics as listed in the supp regs
 
Entries for HVA-Factory teams are now in...

You enter on line. Some of the detail is odd - do they really expect us to race on cracked 32 year old wheel rims****************************************

hahaha
they expect you to race on whatever they feel like telling you
the detail is definitely odd
 
Is it? I have 35+ vintage bikes, all of which I race, and they all have original or NOS period wheels/rims with no issues. What they dont want is modern anodized billet hubs black rims.
 
Well, that is my entry accepted!

Hope it is really hard and I come into the last check 59 minutes down after a 10 hour day. Going to be annoyed if it is a ride around the roads, especially as we all need a Stress ECG, Start Permit, License, fuel service, Ferry trip, week off work, insurance etc...

See you all there...
 
I just attended the North American CONU's FIM Enduro Seminar and we reviewed the rules.

I don't envy the job of the technical delegate at this event......
