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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

June Las Vegas Mecum Auction

The big January Las Vegas auctions usually have a few dirt bikes mixed in. Not so the June auction coming up.
I've never seen so many vintage Huskys, CZ's, Greeves, Puchs, Zundapps and more up for auction.
Including quite a few "celebrity" bikes...where the prospective buyer better make sure the documentation passes muster!

Even if not in the market (I'm not...) fun to look through what is offered.
 
One of the Vincent's holds a speed record to this day I think it's a black shadow?

My thoughts on a replica bike or car how come they bring so much as a orginal one? It's a fake right?

Check this out a collection of very old motorbikes, motorcycles and old cars going to auction. If I was born in the late 1800,s this would be my collection. I was born 70 years too late.

I just seen the video on the medium auction wow the prices. I wonder what the Husqvarnas will go for.

Now I wonder how many big collectors are there across the country of American made machines.
 
Dale Walksler has a great museum of vintage American bikes down in beautiful Maggie Valley NC.
When I lived in GA, it was a frequent visit...well worth if you are ever in the area.
He bills it as a "museum that runs".
On one visit, a rare and expensive Crocker was parked on the paddock outside the entrance. Dale fired it up, and blasted up and down the gravel access road, stone chips on his $300k (or more) Crocker be damned. He skidded to a stop with a big grin. "These bikes are meant to be ridden!" he proclaimed...
 
a mate is into the bicycle/ m/cycle of the 1920's..he has a swift 500cc. makes about 3 hp and is a direct drive..no shit.. to stop you either stall it or pop it up on the peg like the speedway guys do..fab at the traffic lights:eek:

We'll have to wait and see what that Charles Bronson replica husky 400 cross brings in. If it's like the replica muscle cars there bringing in high prices too. I don't want a clone or a replica.

The Vincent black shadow holds a record for its day, sorry. It's the first super bike(black lightening) I believe it was 150mph in the '50's.

I built one for my grandson out of a standard cruiser but I have been wanting to do one like yours in the board tracker look. Yours is really cool.
