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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Here's my current Husky Herd

Nice collection! You must have some strong forearms. Between the 510, 500, 430 and 390, that's some serious power vibration :)

Good point! We've got 9 bikes in the garage (plus 2 in the back yard) and more than half of them are mine :busted:

Nope i'm married 26 years, biggest problem with so many bikes, is keeping them all running. Only just got them all running right a month ago. Now it's almost time to drain all the carbs & stare at the walls for a few months, while Winter comes :thumbsdown:.

This Winter i'll tackle the 510 motor in the 81 250CR frame.
