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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

looks like you had fun Wayne, bike sounded awsome & i loved the way it picks up speed on the straights......GO the AUTO'S.
 
not bad at all. good riding man!! had a auto for sale around me recently, not knowing much about husky's i didnt call on it. figured it would be too much bike for the woods. kinda bummed out now!!!
lol
 
I'm still learning how to ride auto's, but as a friend of mine says ' riding an auto it like cheating' :) It's that easy.
I had the suspension setup for me and she was handling superb.
The fish eye lens on the camera doesn't quite capture the off camber turns or the steepness of the hills/downhills compared to reality, but it was a great track and I was really impressed with the way the bike went. I can only imagine how good your Nauto goes Speedy, it must be amazing.
 
Awesome! Looks like a fun course, but it looks like that auto is easy to overcook a corner, probably gains speed deceptively since you dont really hear the shifting like a manual.
 
Nice one Wayne, I was ok with missing it until I saw your clip...now I'm disappointed-but it wasn't to be. I like the on off throttle! I think you should have walked us round your bike waits in such good condition..! For other cafe huskiers I live less than an hour from this. track-but I'm getting over a fractured wrist...
