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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Early motorcycle collections??

I watch the Pickers on TV and other motorcycle shows and I never see any 60's, 70's or early 80's husqvarna's?
I expect to see the 60' s Husqvarna anyway? These guys have tons of European bikes but no left kicker huskys.

one episode i saw a mid 80s 510 on the show, but it was just something the camera caught.
 
But that Husqvarna 390 OR bobber will eat any Harley the pawn boys own.

I laughed about my sons Suzuki 400cc bandit with the 17,000 rpm redline. He'd eat any of those loud bikes.
 
In one Pickers show, they leaned up against a Toaster Tank BMW while they argued about a $25 widget.

On another Mike climbed up to an elevated rack of bikes that included a rare Norton P11, held on to it to steady himself while he asked about some other worthless trinket!

I was screaming at the TV: OPEN YOUR EYES YOU FOOL!!!

However I do recall Frank buying a seized Yankee for just a few hundred bucks once...but tough to get running much less restore unless you are dialed into the Yankee folks...oh well...
 
And that is what I meant by calling them Harley centric. They do not seem to care about any other motorcycles.
