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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey, that Suzuki TS125 was an excellent choice when it was new ish. I never had one but a neighbor had the TC125 with the hi/lo transmission. His other neighbor had a TS185 .The TC125 neighbor went on to an Ossa 250SDR while the TS185 neighbor did not stick with it. I think he did not like the mud we ran into in the spring.

I got a Hodaka ACE 100 when I was 11 as my 3rd bike. Back then that was a well made machine and I had to learn to adjust the shifting mechanism and also figured out how to change the shift pattern from 1 up/4 down to the standard(but not back then) 1 down/4 up.
 
TS 125?? the reason that pic is there is that i wanted to buy that bike a year or so ago but the PO flogged to a local before i could get my hands on some readies.

my brother had one, i bought one as my first road legal scoot, had a ton of fun on the TS's. i even swapped the motor and number plates into an RM 125 S frame and had the first PE 125 known to the universe...did i tell you how bad the TS 125 with an RM 125 motor was??? another day....:lol:
 
Gave me his riding gear and the jeans are size 28'' !!! If he can pork up to size 34'' I'll have a chance of making use of them... Just imagine how quick we could be if we were size 28 and a few stone lighter!!! LOL

It would be a good event to attend, my neighbour asked if I wanted to enter the vintage class, I told him "I'm too unfit, too slow and too old for competitive events" which is why I love the Vinduro format.
