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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I dunno, that year is the epitome of Ro-jay. Kinda burned into my brain..

hell, that number, that year, that bike, his wife screwing Barry Sheene... that's the year I last saw him race (*IIRC*). First time was '71. I just can't believe that cable routing- as NCSteve said, the Gunnar Gasser was adapted pretty quick (I thought by '77?).

I did get to talk to him again at the '91 San Jose SX in the stands (!)- still a great guy. American MX owes him a big thanks.
 
First time I saw RD him and a couple of other "iron men" were drinking a beer between motos. I remember my dad chuckling and saying "I like those guys." Next couple of races I drank some of my dads Oly between motos, but decided it wasn't for me. :cheers:
