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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

East/Midwest Who's going to York?

So, I'm going to York PA for the AHRMA Banquet and Swap meet the next day.
I know Joe Chod the motorized blender man is coming. Who else?
 
I'll be there selling.I am in need of a 4speed 400 exhaust,if anyone has one they'll sell or trade. Thinking of selling my 87 cr250.One of only 350 produced.
 
I hope to bring my 125 Rickman to sell if I get the cylinder back in time to get it started. I've sgot some odds and ends parts to sell as well. Not much Husky stuff.
 
I'll be there.
Bringing my 1950 Triumph TR5 Trophy (aka: Generator barrel) to show.

And searching for a Can Am TNT lh lower alloy fork leg...unfortunately other Betor fork legs will not swap out...

I'll also be camped out at the PVR booth in the center hall to help with any info on the McKee's Vintage Enduro, the Mid-Atlantic XC series, or the M-A Vintage Enduro series.

I have a thin tab brake tab front end,looks to be can-am
 
The alloy slider I need is ~ 14" in length, for 35mm fork tubes
The brake tab is ~ 32mm wide, 40mm high.
C/A used Betor forks...but they had some unique specs to them...and my sense is most C/A alloy sliders are stamped Bombardier near the top.
If you have something like that...feel free to bring it along!
 
Be nice to put the face to the posts. Richard, who do you contact for the bike show? I've emailed someone at PVR but no response.
I look forward to seeing your Triumph. I have Can Am forks but they're on my '73/'76 Triumph scrambler.
I'll be talking to you about the enduros.
 
Well if you're walking around and you see a guy with a Husky ball cap with a chewed up brim, say hello. Prolly a Husky shirt of some kind too.
 
didn't husky make a hat with a chewed brim a while back. just sayin

Also got some gloves and goggles to raffle off at banquet like 10-15 of em!

All proceeds to go to Enduro series prizes take a pause for the cause and see me at banquet.

Joe was taking money and names at the banquet. He also did trivia for door prizes along with raffles, all for the vintage racing series. Thanks Joe!
The featured speaker was Paul Clipper. Nice to see him and chat. Drew Smith was also there. Enjoyed watching Supercross and drinking beer with him after the banquet. The swapmeet was bigger than I remembered. It was packed!! A lot of beautiful bikes shown, lots of great deals, lots of dirt bike STUFF! I wish it was a two day event- too much to pack in . The parking lot outside had lots of bikes of all kinds for sale-it's own show.

That Husky cap of mine was customized by my dog 10 years ago
 
Prolly is an idiomatic expression unique to the British Isles.
As a Triumph owner I have been encouraged to acquire verbiage consistent
with the marque.
