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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Cool Video on old and new Husqvarnas

Does any one else pronounce Husqvarna like the announcer? LOL weird
I say it with the V as a V not a U?
 
Maybe thats how you say it while speaking swedish? That video is awesome though, i would really love a new te300
 
At least this video says the word Cagiva. I'm a little turned off by the fact that they are beating the drum of the history of this great brand and missing the Italian years. When it goes to Italy in the late 80's where Husqvarna won the majority of titles under Cagiva. I understand how they have to sell this but Husaberg being successful and Cagiva being a blip along the way rubs me wrong. I'm not a KTM hater, I just don't want to sway history of the brand. Husaberg and Husqvarna always belonged together is a matter of opinion. I see it as 1 less choice. Besides that, Great Video as always with KTM.
 
The announcer pronounces it corectly. I was talking to a very cute Swedish opare that was here for the summer, when I told her I had some Husqvarnas from the 70's she did not know what I was saying, after some real language barriers she figured out what I was refering to. She said oh you mean Hus' K Varna, just like the anouncer said it. The only diference was when she said it it was like mana from heaven, needless to say I asked her to say it about 10 more times durring the party.
