• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Welcome Package

The only thing turning people away is people on here bitching and complaining about a damn "welcome" package.... I guess they shouldve given what every other manufacturer Except Husky in the 80s ( Tony D MX School)... a big freaking NOTHING.... Guys stop the freaking crying about nothing... They are no longer made in Italy, if you dont like it go buy an Italian bike.... geez
 
Pmsl they could give nothing but a discount that would encorage me more than a gayzebo or a flipping hat who wares a hat under there lid any how?!? Makes no sence to me

isnt bitching and moaning what forums are for?
 
Wait one minute. Who will the buyers of the new husqvarnas be? Your repeat buyers who purchased the Swedish, the cagiva and Italian husqvarnas of course. If someone wants to poke fun at the pasta huskys well..... I prefer the Swedish meatball husqvarnas but the Austrian husqvarnas are looking good. Back in there day the 125 husqvarna cagiva did compete well in hare scrambles it was a fast bike. I want a true swedish husqvarna bike. Swedish Berg?

I went from riding the late 70's to early 80's husqvarnas to the '98 & '99 spaghetti husqvarnas and got rid of them because of problems plus the parts are impossible to get. I went back to my Swedish husqvarnas to continue riding. Thank god my Swedish husqvarnas are dependable bikes. I'm very new bike shy for sure now. In between the '98 husky and the '99 husky I had a new left over Berg too. That had a bad mechanic work on it. That one went back to the dealer. The ktm rep asked me not to purchase anymore ktm products. The bergs problems had nothing to do with me.
So I was asked or told not to buy a ktm, berg, husky bike? The dealer stripped the berg I purchased of the electrics. He left the stator screws loose. They cracked the block. I never rode the bike since I purchased it new. It leaked oil from the ignition cover. So I returned it. I did nothing wrong.

Three bad brand new bikes in a row. I sold my perfectly good running '76 Suzuki TS185 them purchased the '98 husky. Then my bad luck with new bikes began. I should of kept the ts-185.
 
Ok so
Swedish are renowned for meatballs
Itallian are for pasta
Austrian humm who was famous from austria now its on the tip of my tongue he was into world domination like ktm... Oh i cant remember.

Hitler that was it ktm is the hitler machine hows that for marKTMing?

Well OK, lets just say they are not welcoming the Pasta lovers into there new fold with open arms. And really zero of this matters to me personally, I have piles of great bikes from many flavors. I have trouble choosing which one gets the next beating. Going to ride my swedish Berg Friday. Wooohooo.

You may joke but tampons are very useful items!

We are just going to hash this out.... over and over again. Am I glad we didn't have the internet in 1988.... you bet! I can still talk to people today, that will get palpably angry, over the Cagiva purchase of Husqvarna Motorcycles from Electrolux. In that case, I guess I'll just be prepared to live my life out, listening to discontent from many people about this. Ride your Huskys of all vintages and be merry, when you can!

I'm with you ... I'm said I'm 2 yrs from stopping this crap here ... I'm well on my way and ahead of schedule ...

Some of us would benefit from living in Peytons Place.... Happy New Year to the rest of us...

Here's a special Happy New Year for Coffee ... Some of us miss you...
 
Well I get the get the"get over it stance" but I'm just having a good time poking fun. Sure the pasta days have passed into oblivion along with the meatballs. And who doesn't appreciate a good Weiswurst from time to time. It's just hopeful that we can hold them to their word to create a unique bike as promised. If it happens and it's priced right, then I'm in.

How long does it take to get a "Welcome Package"? I got my bike the last week of October.

Its because you never updated your husqvarna motorcycles list on your profile :)

Robertaccio was one of the first guys here to get one so it seems to take awhile lol
 
I my self have ridden Swedish meat balls bikes, paster bikes, and am really looking forward to riding the new Husky.
Time moves on and the pain will heal.
