• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 don't know how to mark the site and bring on to CH but go to you tube and the search is Welch 2 Day Enduro 1982 #2. Team USA and alot of Huskys featured.
 
We had a twin shock show in the uk this weekend, there were quite a few enduro riders there from the 70s and 80s 6 day teams I spotted Gerant Jones, Andy Roberton and Dave Jeramiah also Mx riders Graham Noyce and Neil Hudson, I was also at the 6 days in Wales and remember watching the USA team changing tyres at the end of one of the Days I may be mistaken but I think it was Dick Burlesom as the Team manager, someone correct me if I am wrong but I do remember he was one of your famous enduro riders that I had seen often in Dirt Bike mag
 
Now I have got going on this I can't stop, I have got my anarak on now
The isde in 83 was in Oct in Wales, as it was at the end of the year the 84 bikes were out and Terry Cunningham was on a 84 510,

Husqvarna entered a total of 20 manufacture teams from different countrys from a total of 36 it was a sea of white and mud of course.

I agree, I try not to think about impaling myself on the posts as I ride, Its not barbed wire its just plastic tape and rope, that so if you get it wrong you have a moment to reflect as you break the plastic tape and hang your self in the rope, No paling fencing with old style natraul tracks, Thats twin shock racing UK organisers like you to take home a few rope burns ( mad old world):lol:

What a cool video. I especially like seeing the rider's gear and OEM parts on the Husky's that are near unobtainable these days.
