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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

CR vs Wr 1982 250

My wife will kill me if I bring any more bikes home. Luckily I have an extra tank for the CR. It is pretty tho.
Norm, maybe I could ride your WR when you get it up and running. Love the way this one handles.
 
I had 14 Husqvarnas when my misses said no more. No more means buy more right. In a short time I had 25. Never heard a word abut it. I was broke but happy after all sitting in the shop they don't eat much. No poop to pickup. I just couldn't pass them up.

We only pass this way once no mulligans in life.
 
I'm running out of room in my garage :mad: I have a couple of bikes and quads to sell, then...
A Rickman 125 is almost done. Fired her up today.

haha, youre the one that keeps preaching be careful on ebay. you have sinned indeed. and $250?!? come on man
 
My old shop was the orginal monster garage. I built a 28'x48' addition on my house. The 10' ceiling really came in handy. I built a 5' high shelf in one bay. I stacked up bikes on the shelf above and below.
 
Rickman Zundapp, Montesa or what?

1974 Rickman Zundapp 125. Nikasiled cylinder, new Kokusan ignition, new piston and rings. The original Bing is leaking, trying to set the float height so it will get fuel but not leak. A Mikuni may be in the forecast. The fuel needle seat is difficult to replace.
She did fire up for the first time in five years :applause:

Bill, you are dedicated!
 
Husqvarna dirtbikes "left kickers" can be worse than potato chips you just can't stop at one, at two, heck it's a never ending story. I take in abandon, adopt cats and dogs that need a home plus Husqvarna bikes too.
 
The only strays I pick up now are my wife's thoughts- herding cats.

The Rickman is cool- I'm a little heavy to ride it off road tho.
 
When there are no projects in the garage, I ride, that's when SWMBO opens up to another project in the garage.
Apparently she'd rather have me in the shop, grinding, torquing, etc. a few yards away, as opposed to halfway across the county flying down single- and two-tracks.

Seriously, go disappear for 2 weekends, then tell her you're thinking about picking up a new project. Works better than you might think!
 
ive found that serious "sexy time" can make most women susceptible to all sorts of suggestions and ideas. remember .. happy wife..happy life....

put in a couple of good efforts b4 suggesting new project or she will twig the buttering up process...I don't condone using butter either;)
 
Coconut oil and happy wife eh?
Friggin' travelin' show here- thanks for the advice :thumbsup:
I've been around the block once, money talks, oil helps, nudge as good as a wink, know what I mean ;)

Either way, I have to move a few machines. Looking for the best mods to this bike. Looks like 20mm extension to the head pipe will help the low end along with cleaning up the jetting. Will research the wing thing-could make sense from an airflow perspective.
