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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husqvarna Museum

310 husky, im gonna check this site out later, i had a quick look and looks really good, thanks for the link :thumbsup:
 
Awesome, the 800 twin is too cool, like the tooling for the side cases as well, tons of real neat stuff & bikes
 
I would love to find out the history behind all those bikes in the museum, have they been ridden and raced then someone's done a museum quality restoration on them, or have Husqvarna pulled one of each model bike they have ever made off the production line and put it aside to be displayed in the museum?
I'd like to think it might be a mixture of both, but what I'd really love, is to one day walk in the doors of the museum and see all of Husqvarna's history with my own eyes, I would be in there for days!
I can spend hours in my shed just looking at my vintage bikes, wondering where they have been, who's ridden them and if they could speak what stories could they tell.
I'm a bit of a day dreamer particularly when it comes to bikes, and I think every bike would have a fascinating story to tell.

I've accidentally ran into a couple of people that have bought my old bikes, and the first thing they have asked is why did you get rid of it, I love this bike, I've been here on it and done this with it, where did you ride it and what did you do with it? So maybe I'm not on my own on wondering about the story behind my second or third hand bikes, or maybe I am, who else looks at their second hand bikes and wonders what their life has been like?

hardly any of the vehicle manufacturers ever did that. enzo ferrari regretted that in an interview, audi keep buying old horch and wanderer from obscure russian sources (after ww2, the russians took whole factories off to russia), and so on.

I can't remember where it was posted, but during his short lived season with CH Racing, Ricky Dietrich did a Blog. He posted some cool pics of Fabrizio Azzulin/CH Racing's race bike collection. Very cool!
