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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Interesting website.....

Tried to navigate through the site to see episodes, but all the information looks old. The kickstart effort ended February 23rd 2018. The only thing I can watch is the 4 minute opening video.
This looks really good. The list of episodes is great ... if it happens.
 
My first MX Bike was a 1974 KX 125. I have noticed how popular they are today in Vintage. They sure were not at the time. When I went to local Moto's I was the only one there not on a Honda, Yamaha or a Husqvarna. In 1977 Kawasaki put all there left over 74-75-76 KX 125's on sale for $299. They were way out of date by then makes one wonder if there are not some still in the box laying around.
 
I don't know him, but I think he spent a healthy amount of production dollars on an intro and a few segments, hoping to raise Kickstarter funds. Never happened.
 
I don't ever remember seeing anything about this project, or the opportunity to help through kickstart. The John Penton movie was a kickstart project and was posted and promoted everywhere. I was more than happy to donate, and would have done the same, if I knew about this project back in February.
